My favorite story from the second half of the reading was "The Fox." This story is quite funny because it has an ending that is super hilarious. In this story, there is a women by the name of Lady Mary who finds a man by the name of Mr. Fox. They both agreed to get married, and that they would stay at his castle. Although, no one had seen Mr. Fox's castle, including Lady Mary's brothers. So one day Lady Mary found Mr. Fox's and she was troubled with what she found. In the house she found dead corpses of women he had previously wed. Disgusted an d frightened, Lady Mary goes to leave, but then she sees Mr. Fox and hides. She sees Mr. Fox dragging one of this victims to the room where he has killed his past wives. But before, Mr. Fox sees that the woman had large diamond ring on her finger. He impatiently cuts her hand off and it goes flying into Lady Mary's lap. When Mr. Fox cannot find the hand, he gives up and continues to drag the woman in the room. Lady Mary then rushes out of the house, and when she sees Mr. Fox on their day to wed, she looks very pale. She then tells him about a very bad dream about what happened in his castle. The whole time Mr. Fox denies he's ever done anything she dreamed, but then she pulls out the hand, and then Lady Mary's brothers kill Mr. Fox. This was a very scary story and I could totally see this being a show whenever I was reading it. One way I was thinking about possibly retelling this story was by changing the the characters and making Lady Mary the villain in the story and also her brothers are also in on it.
