Lessons from lore

[ckd]

In folktales and ballads, if someone were to refuse to fulfill (or worse, actively try to counter) the dying request of a wise old woman I'm pretty sure it would not turn out well for them.

Also, despite the name, Poe's character Prince Prospero is not the winner in his story.

(I'm not a literature major, but even I know this stuff....)

I studied literature in my first degree before I caught history.
