I tell them: don’t depend on a woodsman in the third act. I tell them: look for sets of three, or seven. I tell them: there’s always a way to survive. I tell them: you don’t have to lie still and wait for someone to tell you how to live. I tell them: it’s all right to push her into the oven. She was going to hurt you. I tell them: mirrors lie. I tell them: you can wear those boots, if you want them. You can lift that sword. It was always your sword. I tell them: the apple has two sides. I tell them: just because he woke you up doesn’t mean you owe him anything. I tell them: his name is Rumplestiltskin - Catherynne M. Valente, The Consultant

 

I love to edit out unessary male love interests. so i end with her reunion with her father.
The song is orginaly probably intented about a romantic relationship - but i like twisting a bit and here it is a (abusiv) family relationship. I think the first scene is very strong "One wave of his hickory staff/And I'd follow him 'round the land" She sits to her feet, like a child (still believing her lies) but in the next scene she is hold before her (for fighting for speaking out on the injustice). "I wont sell my wool to buy no shack" with the cut in scene of her bowing to the queen like everyone.
I love stories about (girls) pleading themself to a cause/mission, a responsibilie, this are her people the "mother mary" the dwarves, the town people and her father.
