A Dying Queen’s Wish Poisons Her Family’s Future

In Grimm’s Fur-of-All-Kinds, the beautiful, dying queen makes her king promise that he will only remarry another as fair as she.  Why does she do this?  She wants to live on in his memory, and this desire powers an image that with the king becomes an obsession.  An obsession that darkens the whole kingdom.   (From a discussion on the Grimm’s “Fur-of-All-Kinds (Allerleirauh)”)   Thank you for watching!  Please see below for the full conversation:   A Summary of the Story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allerleirauh   Our Video Summary:   The Story’s Full Text: https://sites.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm065.html   The full video episode: https://youtu.be/Tgb98hCPvMA   Audio episode: https://benomtad.podbean.com/e/grimms-fur-of-all-kinds-allerleirauh/?token=20bdb9a95dac2d9296787ba60430da79   The Podcast Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMIlJwXEK2vqfEOVgfclRgZNXO4boyP3T   The Episode Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKCJ0vjS4OcM   For more in this podcast, please go to: Podbean: https://benomtad.podbean.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast-benomtad/id1748320863 YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/@scissorsandpaper/videos Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4kJPGlaJjGVyLa9AKhci6t?si=8XXrX9FUT3CU71reCfA5kQ X: https://x.com/Benomtad Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/benomtad   About our guest: Ian Reclusado offers guidance services for those interested in facing and befriending their inner monsters:  https://thekindknife.substack.com/p/guidance-services   I plan to conduct more interviews with various guests, so please check back later for those.
