My favorite Bluebeard tale out of those we read would have to be Fitcher’s Bird. This tale was my favorite because it has the women getting revenge on the villain. Bluebeard is a evil old man that takes the lives of beautiful young girls because they let their curiosity get the best of them. Unlike the other versions of the tale the women are given keys and an egg. The sorcerer tells the girls when he is about to leave that they need to, ”Carry it with you wherever you go, because if it gets lost, something terrible will happen.” Even after this warning and after he told the women not to go into the small room they still disobey him and the first to women are brought to their doom. The last sister of the Three is still obeying her husband but is seen as being so much smarter than the other two because she keeps the egg in a safe place. Once she sees the room and that her sisters are in the room she knows that she must do something to save them. This part is probably my favorite when the third sister put the pieces of the first two sisters back together and they magically are alive again. The last sister is so smart that she even gets Bluebeard to take the sisters that he killed home and fools him when she walks right past him dressed up as a bird. The reason this version of the tale is my favorite is because everyone is fooled by the last sister and because of her wit all the villains are killed.
