the folk tale blue beard by Charles Perrault is a Trickster Folktale, becuase in the end blue beards final wife tricks him into giving her time to pray which inturn actually gave her time to wait for her brothers to arrive and when they did they killed blue beard. so the weaker female out tricked the male and got away.
in my pastiche the type of folk tale is Noodle head Folktale because he keeps making the same mistake of getting women who leave him. in the end Petersen finds the woman that stays with him.
the original and my pastiche are not the same type of folktale, unless you looked at Petersen as the weaker person against women, then my pastiche could be considered to be a trickster folktale. its important to classify folktales because then you can find what your looking for faster if your looking for animals who act like humans or if your looking for a happy ending. a noodle head folktale relates to my message because although you might make the same mistake over and over again over time it becomes clear and you then know what you did wrong which will help you in the ending by letting you achieve what you want.

I like how you classify the original tale and then compare it to your own pastiche in order to help consider the message you intend to convey to the reader.
