The Frog-Prince by Jacob Grimm
2.0
Um...Ew.
I can't like this story. Sorry, not sorry. The Princess seems no more than 12. I mean, she goes out to the garden to play with her ball, whines and cries when she loses it, makes an impossible promise to a weird-ass stranger because she wants this toy back so badly, then promptly high tails it out of there when she gets the ball back. I cannot fault her for that. Self preservation, girl!
But then she is made to keep this promise by her...father? Or some warped sense of duty/honor? Is coerced into kissing a frog, who then declares that they shall marry because...why not?
This poor girl. I can't help but feel that the ball was not worth it.
