Briar Rose Part II

"She is just as he imagined her: beautiful, gentle, innocent, devoted, submissive. He is suffused with love and desire, but he also feels like he would like to take a nap."

I chose this quote because It is all about the idea of the ideal woman. I think it is the perfect stereotypical quote for both genders. Of course women are expected to be all these things, which are supposed to invoke love and desire. The cliche fairy tale cookie cutter image of a woman...so impossible yet still so desired and chased. I think its funny because it is true, what happens after the happily ever after? Do the characters nap? what happens when the carriage rolls away? I like the idea of stretching the fairy tale molds. It really causes you to think about the stories possibilities.
