Nothing in the world is perfect. Why do writers usually stereotype perfection in poems and stories? In the poem "puce fairy book" by Alice Major and the article "Forget Prince Charming" by June Callwood the authors justify that looking for perfection in relationships isn't going to happen. Alice Major would probably agree with the grandmothers advice to her grandchildren.
Alice Major uses the more common fairy tales to prove that wanting or looking for perfection in romance is never going to happen. She compares herself to the fairy tales and she "with thanks, and honour," doesn't want to be Cinderella. Her foot was "too big to fit," in the glass slipper. That men have to stop looking for the "perfect" woman in a relationship and stop making their expectations so high. To stop comparing average woman to fairy tales. Because no girls hair will "grow long enough," like Rapunzel.
June Callwood in her article "Forget Prince Charming" explains what to look for to find a stable relationship. She explores the aspects to find the "perfect" relationship. The grandmother doesn't believe "that a perfect mate exists," and tells her granddaughters what to seek when looking for happiness... (ran out of time)
Alice Major would mostly agree with the advice given by the grandmother to her granddaughters. The grandmother tells them to look for someone that can compromise, that is honest and the ability to collaborate. In the poem "puce fairy book" indicates that romance isn't perfect because not every girl has the same shoe size to fit the "crystal slipper." This is why Alice would agree with the grandmother. That she tells her granddaughters that looking for perfect won't result in a strong relationship. Both show that looking for character will be better if you want to "live happily ever after".
