35. After reading “Briar Rose,” reread “The Gold
Key.” What motifs do you see at
play, and how does “The Gold Key” foreshadow what is to come throughout Transformations?
Both "Briar Rose" and " The Gold Key" start with the authors thoughts and comments, then the author illustrates a tale. For example, In "Briar Rose" the tale of sleeping beauty is told and in "The Gold Key" the story of a young boy who finds a key to a book of tales. In "The Gold Key" Anne Sexton foreshadows that the tales which she "transforms" are originally written by the Grimm Brothers.
Good work, Gaby! When we are talking about things being locked or unlocked, we can use that metaphor in any number of ways: unlocking a book, for example, can mean reading it or understanding it. On the other hand, what does it mean to "unlock" a memory? Or to "unlock" a person?
