Synthesis of our hypertext

About princesses and bad influen(z)es is our interpretation of several fairy tales, mainly that of Briar Rose, better known as Sleeping Beauty, from a freudian psychoanalitical and feminist sociological perspective (ain’t that a tongue twister?). We interpret the fairy tale princess as a passive submissive role model for women, that disencourages them from taking control and finding freedom.

The subtexts we have recurred to range from the Genesis to Lewis Carroll's Through the looking-glass, and what Alice found there, passing through Snow White and Red Riding Hood. We found certain connections between these texts, so we designed a way of mixing intertextuality and hypertextuality in order to attain the perspective mentioned above.
