the underlying message of many fairy tales is "don't trust your family." You know, I like that one better than the feminist reading my English class glanced over, and which is the only LitCrit I've done for fairy tales. (Personally, I was never able to really see "Women with power are teh Evil" as the sole point of the stories, although I was amused at the theory that all the cutting off of pinkie fingers was a weird castration fanstasy...)
