A review by ostrava
The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen

5.0

I've always loved this story even though I don't fully understand the moral behind it. Maybe it's because I'm an atheist, and like the little mermaid, I too will become sea foam. I understand it was written from the perspective of a Christian man. But what if it wasn't? What if we contemplated the eternal life of the inhabitants of this tale with the same torment as the little mermaid does? And what makes that eternal life better than our precious, irreplaceable and unresolved experiences?
