The first of many tales...

Tétiyette and the Devil

When reading the story without a open eye, you can easily pass over key components. The author is simplistic but yet complex when looking at the underline meaning of the fairy tale. The story requires the desire to understand and focus on the culture and morals behind the people of Guadeloupe. The message of the narrative is two different ideas, the first one is that everything is not what it seems and to listen to those who have your interest in mind. This author conveys its message through the actions and unspoken words of the characters. First, Tetiyette denies seeing the goat and the pig because of what they looked like and who they were. The author tells us in the beginning of the story that Tetiyette is very hard to be pleased, but she had to show us exactly how picky she was.
I analyzed the story and found that because it is normally told orally, we must take in that certain factors help emphasize its impact. The specific fact that it is told at funerals hints that its a story is able to be related to or learned from people of many different walks and ages.
