Fairy
tales where the faith of the Princess (or other girl) transforms the
frog (or other beast) into a handsome prince perhaps speak, from the
other point of view*, of the point at which the male Knight discovers
and is transformed by his female Queen. These stories can be taken
literally [sic], to show the commencement of a married relationship; or
psychologically (some interpretations would have the frog, or Beast,
as the adolescent girl's own “male” type sexuality, to be faced
and transformed); or spiritually, to demonstrate the relative roles
of the male and the female aspects in every individual (male or
female) at this stage of development. There is no reason why each
interpretation (and possibly others) may not be valid, just because
another is: the process may govern many different types of personal
and institutional development.
