Alan Dundes criticized this work for ignoring the "Law of Contrast" and "Law of Three" of Axel Olrik. One section of this work discusses the progression of a girl's affection being transferred from her father to an animal-husband. One part of this work contrasts the actions of Milk White with the protagonist taking refuge in an oven, arguing that they show contradictory attitudes towards weaning. It argues that Simpleton's quest to find a thousand pearls, a key, and the correct princess is a parable for personality integration, the synthesis of animal instincts with the ego, in its reading of "The Queen Bee." Analyzing such stories as "Hansel and Gretel" and "Little Red Riding Hood," for 10 points, name this book in which Bruno Bettelheim gives a Freudian interpretation of fairy tales.
