Bluebeard the Serial Killer

               In Bluebeard woman are basically nothing. I say nothing because he kills every wife that he has had. His current wife is curious to know what her husband keeps in a closet where he had warned her not to look but he gave her the key. Bluebeard just wanted an excuse of killing his wife because he is a serial killer. In this story woman are depicted as the nosey female that cannot control her urges. I believe that this story subvert the image of woman because we are looked at as the nosey woman that likes to gossip. Since in this tale woman are looked at as being nosey than men should be the violant serial killer? Sometimes I wonder what are authors thinking when they write a story, their audience are going to entreprit or he might be giving out the wrong example for what ever point he is trying to make. In this case Perrault should have chosen his story line a bit carefully because he is giving the wrong depiction of woman. Women are more than nosey people that cannot listen to instructions and that our only salvation is the arrival of a man.
