The novel, Where the Lilies Bloom has a striking similarity to the tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. When you take a look at Where the Lilies Bloom, by Vera and Bill Cleaver, the comparison becomes eminent very quickly. Within the first couple of chapters, the characters in Where the Lilies Bloom begin to resemble characters in Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Kiser Peace, an uneducated and superstitious man, takes the role of the bear in this story. Mary Call Luther, an intelligent young girl who has become the head of the household after her father's death, and Romey, Mary Call’s 10 year old brother, start to both represent Goldilocks. Goldilocks and the Three Bears is definitely comparable to Where the Lilies Bloom. This first quote can make it easier to see how these two books coincide. Romey and Mary Call are outside of Kiser’s house when Romey says, “It’s not latched. You reckon it’d be all right if we just went in” (Cleaver 20)? If that's not enough later, Mary Call says, “Let’s just step inside a minute, Romey” (Cleaver 21). In the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Goldilocks enters the bear's house without their permission. This quote clearly depicts how related these books are.

In Goldilocks and the Three Bears, while Goldilocks is in the house she steals some porridge. This certainly illustrates Romey and Mary Call stealing food from Kiser Peace’s house, like Goldilocks did from the bears. Without a doubt, these books show a lot of

In Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, and The Yellow Wallpaper, by Charlotte Gilman, both the main female characters are explored through their marriages, their inability to express themselves and the gender limitations of the late 1800s and the early 1900s. Curley’s Wife, in Of Mice and Men, and ‘Jane’ in The Yellow Wallpaper, are controlled by their husbands and the women are seen as inferior.

Have you ever put much thought into the decisions of the fairy tale characters that you grew up hearing about about? Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe their actions and decisions resemble each other? Goldilocks and the three bears is a classic fairy tale that most children grow up hearing, Goldilocks made plenty of decisions; she decided to go into the forest, she decided to enter a house, she discovered, she decided to eat porridge, to sit in a chair, and to doze off in a bed that she found.
