She helps others learn for a living. In addition, she clearly has virtue in the way that she protects her children and puts their needs first by ensuring they have the crown. However, her virtue is tested by means of committing criminal acts, like lying and seducing the Prince to gain is power and end his reign. The 2 sides of Crystal fit the archetype of Outlaw perfectly.]]> 2022-09-20 20:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/shkrelig/58gvxbpmn2qrhjmx/wish/2305688639 shkrelig https://padlet.com/shkrelig/58gvxbpmn2qrhjmx/wish/2305688797 This can be seen when Crystal the Wise decides to slap the Prince right from the start as she witnesses his offensive behavior. She clearly does not condone his behavior and makes it clear, even as a young woman and new wife! She puts herself in potential danger to stand up for herself. Would a damsel in distress do that?! Definitely not! Would a hero act in such rash ways? I don't think so...]]> 2022-09-20 20:59:46 UTC https://padlet.com/shkrelig/58gvxbpmn2qrhjmx/wish/2305688797 shkrelig https://padlet.com/shkrelig/58gvxbpmn2qrhjmx/wish/2305693963 Throughout the story, her character isn't really funny or entertaining, just pointed and calculated. Other people don't laugh at her tricks and she is too isolated to serve as true entertainment for a group, like when she's trekking through mountains forever or shut in the cellar. Is she a true trickster or is the Prince just really self-absorbed and gullible?]]> 2022-09-20 21:05:17 UTC https://padlet.com/shkrelig/58gvxbpmn2qrhjmx/wish/2305693963 24francial1_1 https://padlet.com/shkrelig/58gvxbpmn2qrhjmx/wish/2306753157 2022-09-21 12:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/shkrelig/58gvxbpmn2qrhjmx/wish/2306753157 24saponaram https://padlet.com/shkrelig/58gvxbpmn2qrhjmx/wish/2306754928 2022-09-21 12:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/shkrelig/58gvxbpmn2qrhjmx/wish/2306754928 https://padlet.com/shkrelig/58gvxbpmn2qrhjmx/wish/2306755263 2022-09-21 12:40:49 UTC https://padlet.com/shkrelig/58gvxbpmn2qrhjmx/wish/2306755263 https://padlet.com/shkrelig/58gvxbpmn2qrhjmx/wish/2306757421 Reason 1

Even though Crystal tried to stay strong and refused to apologize, the prince was physically stronger than her which is why he was able to throw her down the trap door into the cellar.

Once married, despite him being a bad person, she was trapped with him because they were married and because in the public eye, they were a happy couple.

Crystal, while in paris disguises herself and makes the prince fall in love with her.

She didnt save anyone else besides herself. Her motive was selfish and she didnt do anything for the greater good, only to benefit herself.

However, not all tricksters have/need a "comical" component. For instance in the Native American trickster story, the trickster does not have a comical component.

She isn't a trickster because she didn't have her plan planned out until after she got tricked by the prince into the trapdoor room.

We see her as more of a mean individual at the beginning and isn't a trickster at the beginning because she is a smart tutor for the prince and princess. She doesn't trick the prince at the beginning by misbehaving, she just slaps him.]]> 2022-09-21 12:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/shkrelig/58gvxbpmn2qrhjmx/wish/2306787518 24defeom1_1 https://padlet.com/shkrelig/58gvxbpmn2qrhjmx/wish/2306793591 Argument against trickster: Even though she tricks him, she doesn't do it for his downfall.
