Briar Rose quote

"..but that she doubts that her prince will ever come suggests she underestimates her own legendary beauty and its power to provoke desire in men."

I chose this quote because I find it original that Coover would point out deep feeling in the "princess". Usually you see this picture of a princess with no real feeling only oblivious beauty. I like the idea that the princess could doubt her fate. How could she be sure he would come? What if she wasn't pretty enough or desirable at all? I have questioned things I was told to believe my whole life and I know those tempting thoughts full of doubt.
