Reading Notes: Mr. Fox, Part B

For part B this week I chose to stick with the English fairy tales unit. The story that I found to be the most interesting was titled Mr. Fox which is from English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs. I enjoyed this story because it involved love and murder, which is not something you typically think of when you read fairy tales. I love a good murder mystery. I do wonder why Mr. Fox had killed so many women previously? Perhaps it was because he enjoyed it because he was a serial killer.

Some ideas I have for this story are to give an answer as to why Mr. Fox has killed so many women. I could change the story into a sort of murder-mystery. When Lady Mary goes to visit Mr. Fox she will uncover many of the clues that lead to many unsolved cases about missing woman and their murders.
She will also narrowly escape death because Mr. Fox will find her hiding. When he is about to kill her, her brothers enter the home and come to her rescue. They will then kill Mr. Fox for revenge against him from all the women who have died because of him.

Another idea I have is instead of killing Mr. Fox, the story will begin with Mr. Fox on trial for murder and the story centers around this. He will be questioned as to why he did this, and many questions will be answered. The reader will find out how many women he has killed and why he did it. Lady Mary will testify against him and be the voice for all the dead women because she almost faced the same fate. Lady Mary's brothers will be there as well because they saved her from the killer and also solved the mystery of who was responsible for missing and murdered women.
