[edit] WHERE DID PERRAULT GET HIS IDEAS?
This article seems rather misleading as it suggest he invented the stories. --Imran 13:54 20 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Nah, The Grimm Brothers gathered the German folklore versions, basically the same, about 120 years later. --Lalli 08:30, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] About "Paris France"
"Charles Perrault was born in Paris, France to a wealthy bourgeois family." In some circles "Paris" just does mean "Paris-France." Paris, Kentucky is widely referred to as "Paris, Kentucky" if it is discussed at all. In my family, some of whom live in Louisville actually, anyone using the expression "Paris-France" hears a murmer of "not Paris, Kentucky" interpolated among his attentive listeners. Thus: "Charles Perrault was born in Paris France not Paris Kentucky to a wealthy bourgeois family."
I hope every reader will make the same mental interoplation whenever they read the words "Paris, France." Thus, though one dare not correct the usage, one may still derive some entertainment. Wetman 00:19, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Perrault's Personal Life?
What about Perrault's personal life? It says he had a son but there is no mention of a mother or significant other. When interpreting Perrault's stories it is extremely important to be aware of his everyday interactions, his personal relationships, the political and social discourse, etc... Context is ESPECIALLY important throughout the Revolutionary Period in France; take J.J. Rousseau's childhood experiences and relationships into account, for example, to more accurately interpret and analyze his patriarchal/mysogynistic ideologies. -MMMM 12/3/05
