YMMV / Sun, Moon, and Talia

Go To

  • Complete Monster: The fairy tale book, The Pentamerone, has the nameless queen. When she had realized that her husband has cheated on her with another woman named Talia, she ordered her secretary to bring the children to her. She then gives her royal cook the job of cooking the children into several dishes, and then to serve said dishes to her husband. When it seemed like her husband was eating his own children, she continually mocked him for his mistake, and was blissfully unaware of the fact that her royal cook had cooked the King two lambs instead of the two children. The Queen later gives her guards the task of bringing the young woman to her palace, and so, Talia is brought before her. She condemned Talia to burn in a huge bonfire that she had set up for her, and she then asked her to remove her clothing because she thought they were too valuable to be burned with such a lowly woman (or accepted it to be removed because she wanted the dress for herself).
  • Values Dissonance: The king rapes a comatose girl, she wakes up having birth to the children that resulted from said rape, and they live happily ever after once they bumped off his pesky wife.
  • Watch It for the Meme: Chances are Spanish viewers know this book as a result of Destripando La Historia in their "The Italian Sleeping Beauty" video.
