The Snow Child


Read The Snow Child.  Type up your responses to the following questions.  Post to your blog.


  1. In what ways does the tale allude to (link to) other stories or fairy tales?  Name them.  
  2. How does this story link to the other stories in The Bloody Chamber collection?
  3. The girl melts at the end.  Why do you think this is the case?  What do you think Carter could be trying to communicate?
  4. What do you think it means when the Countess says "It bites!" at the end?  What is "it"?
The lit chart may help.
