Fairy Tales: A Compilation - Greed

Abstract

My short fairy tale represents greed and corporate malfeasance. It’s divided into four parts all overlapping each other. It begins with the eldest sister who discovers the wrongdoings then moves on to the middle sister who tries to come up with a plan that would benefit her. The third part is about the youngest, who is filled with greed, and lastly, the fourth part, the epilogue, ends with the queen who is the embodiment of greed itself. Each character represents a different perspective that people today have. The eldest represents change, the middle represents the statement “ignorance is bliss”, youngest corruption, and the queen represents the corporation and greed. I wanted to write this fairy tale to make this issue easier to understand for everyone. I want my readers to relate to one of the characters and decide for themselves who they want to be.
