Instead of doing my homework, I've been thinking about Rumpelstilskin. Why did knowing Rumpelstilskin's name obliterate him? I"ve gotta think about it more, but I bet I can figure it out using a Jungian analysis. That is, consider all the characters as parts of one person's psyche. I'll have to check Bettelheim's "Uses of Enchantment" and see if he talks about it. Rumpelstilskin is one of those fairy tales that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. The king is a real piece of work. He's the kind of superego I can do without.
