I agree, they get mashed up oh so often, but the point of OUaT is that they attempt to show us how this might have happened and how the stories connect in a logical way.
In quite an innovative approach, they try to make those fairy tales HAVE SENSE. If we approached all the clues they give us with “they are just all mashed up and they can’t possibly make any sense” attitude, it would be no fun! 😉
You’re right, it would be no fun to stop digging and connecting dots. I’m all for making sense. Am just challenging to find the best story possible.
And I love fairy tale and story book mashups, it’s creative, imaginative, we all should turn into story-tellers once in a while and create our own versions of tales. Nonnie, it’s not sad, that you can’t remember the stories correctly, that way you have no choice but to give stories something personal, and that is a good thing.
In their last podcast Kitsis&Horowitz said something interesting, that they like to explore the nature of love on this show, and that it is not just romantic love. For one they have done some exploring of parental love and the love of children, not just Emma, Regina and Henry, but it was the true love of a mother and her son which broke the curse. With Snow and Red they are exploring friendship as another expression of love – and I think there is still a lot to tell about it.
To come back to the story of Snow-White and Red-Rose, and to elaborate on what EvilQueen wrote: At the beginning of the tale it’s said, that the two loved each other so much, that they always walked hand in hand and promised to never abandon each other. It is what makes those two strong, that and a deep respect (another form of love) for all beings. They overcome the first fear of the bear (beast, yup, could be Red as wolf), and learn to have a good time with it, they face the terrible little man together, and in the end together they find a happy ending. Reading it that way, think you have a strong connection to the show, to the friendship of Snow and Red. And the stolen gold or treasures? Well, a lot of things can be treasures, love, even people can be.
Of course some people in our world couldn’t aknowledge that a friendship between two women could be so strong, so they had to turn them into sisters, made them look like little girls, and had to hide the true nature of the beast, but we know better. 😉
