Imagery:

"The fact that the threads [motifs] running through the tales all follow the same direction [...] suggests that the order they refer to is a fundamental one. It is my feeling that when fairy tales are brought together in clusters and interpreted in relation to one another, they represent at bottom one transcendental archetypal arrangement."
