According to Hallett and Karasek, "Bluebeard" has a modern feel because:
Bluebeard is a wealthy businessman, and the plot connects to our contemporary interest in serial killers.
Hallet and Karasek argue that "Bluebeard" and "Rumpelstiltskin" provoke ambivalent feelings because:
we identify with the heroines but also enjoy watching them get in trouble.
Hallett and Karasek compare "Bluebeard" to "Little Red Riding Hood" for
the victimization of the heroine and the chilling sense of doom.
"The Juniper Tree" is often left out of fairy-tale collections for children, probably because of
murder and cannibalism.
"The Juniper Tree" has some echoes of "Snow White"; for example,
the little boy is as red as blood and as white as snow, and the evil stepmother tempts him with an apple.
The action of "The Juniper Tree" progresses through a motif we have seen in other tales:
the magical animal that tells the truth in rhyme.
Rumpelstiltskin dies in various ways in different versions of this tale. In the version in our textbook,
he stamps one foot into the ground, then grabs the other foot and tears himself in two.
