Bluebeards Wife and Eve

Bluebeard's wife in this story goes through a huge temptation. She is told not to do something and can't resist the temptation to find out why it is so forbidden. This temptation is close in relation with the story of Adam and Eve. Eve was instructed not to touch any of the fruits that were on the forbidden tree. Eve had a hard time resisting this temptation and she paid for it and so did Adam who she managed to convince. The difference between these stories is that Bluebeard's wife consequence was altered by her brothers. Instead Bluebeard was punished and killed. He died exactly the same way he killed his other wives. His wife was lucky and instead of really being punished due to her curiosity she was rewarded at the end of the tale with all of Bluebeard's estate and assets. So although she was tempted like Eve, Bluebeard's wife punishment was not severe as Eve's was. Eve pleaded for forgiveness and she was not forgiven unlike Bluebeard's wife where she was not forgiven by Bluebeard but she was still rescued. She falls under the category of all the other tales where the women are rescued and their fate ends better then they thought. This story follows the same plan that is set out for the other stories. The villain eventually falls and the damsel in distress is always saved by either a prince or simply just a man.
