Reading Notes: Hans Christian Andersen

Bibliography:

Hans Christian Andersen  - Story source: Fairy Tales and Stories by Hans Christian Andersen, translated by H. P. Paull (1872).


After finishing the second half of these fairytales the theme that stood out to me was tragic love. As I mentioned with the tin soldier he died and formed a small tin heart after losing his love. In the Little Mermaid the girl loves her prince so much but in the end he doesn't choose her. She still refuses to kill him, even to save her own life. 

I am going to write my story about a tragic love story incorporating both of these story themes.
