I am Venus: Folktale Motifs in Queen Charlotte

Adapted from my 2023 Twitter thread

How the love story of George and Charlotte subverts the classic animal bride and groom tales for a new generation:

We begin with clear swan maiden motifs, with Charlotte as the captured bride betrothed against her will. When the dowager princess refuses to allow her to wear the wedding gown she selected, this is stealing the animal skin (or power) of the animal bride.

What’s more, George’s mother insists she wear an English wedding gown. Clothing the bride claims her for the mundane world, separating her from her otherworldly home. In a typical swan maiden tale, she would flee the moment she recovers her stolen skin.

Then comes the first subversion of the tale: George gives her the option to leave, symbolically returning her animal skin and her power. And Charlotte chooses not only to stay, but also to wear her own wedding gown, thus claiming his world as hers.

Next we see Fruit Maiden motifs, as Charlotte is twice prevented from picking her own oranges. In these tales, the prince cuts open two oranges before discovering his true bride in the third. When Charlotte finally picks her own orange, she once again claims her power.

Later, we see hints of Star Lovers. George has already mentioned his interest in astronomy, but now we see his observatory. This fascination with the heavens and his role as monarch suggests that he is a star husband and Charlotte is his mortal bride.

However, Charlotte also originally called him a beast or troll, and as we see more of George’s mental health struggles, we realize that he does indeed see himself as the animal husband, unworthy of his celestial bride.

When she discovers him in the garden calling to Venus, Charlotte explicitly associates herself with the planet and thus with the goddess of the same name. It turns out SHE is the star bride after all, and George is the mortal husband.

In fact, as the king associates more and more with his "Farmer George" persona, even using this knowledge to assist Charlotte in birth, it becomes clear he is the earthly husband, always digging down while gazing up.

He allows himself to be practically buried in the cellar under the doctor's horrible "treatments," and hides under the bed to escape the sight of the heavens. His only light is his wife, descended from the sky of her own choice.

Mythically, the monarch is the conduit between heaven and earth. When Charlotte the Star Bride meets George the Earthly Husband in the middle, two halves become whole, and they are able to rule together.

Swan Maidens, Star Brides, and Fruit Maidens are nearly always captive brides. Their agency is not a factor in most folktales, but Queen Charlotte turns this on its head by making its heroine a goddess, giving her the power and choice to love as she wishes.

This story's thesis is vital in today's world where nothing seems certain: that life is lonely, so if you are fortunate to find your person, you choose to love them even when it's hard and painful. That feminine desire matters at every age. And that love can work miracles.

“You know the one where the girl freezes to death on the way to a ball” THE WHAT

Oh, have you never heard Fair Charlotte, or A Corpse Going To A Ball (1843)? I am aghast!

It's a folk song based on a poem by one Seba Smith, originally published in a Maine newspaper, that details the fatal folly of a young woman named Charlotte. She refuses to wrap up warmly for the sleigh-ride to a winter's ball and slowly freezes to death over the course of the song. It's fairly morbid- the text mentions Charlotte saying "I'm getting warmer now" after several miles of icy driving, suggesting some familiarity on the writer's part with the particulars of hypothermia -and a classic in folk music circles.

Also, you know. Heaping dose of misogyny there, with the whole Women Are So Vain That They'll Die To Look Good!!!!! thing.

(Fun fact: this poem inspired 1940s doll collectors to coin the term "Frozen Charlottes" for 19th-century all-bisque dolls, even though they were only called penny dolls or penny babies when new. This has given rise to all manner of myths about the nature and purpose of said dolls, all of which make me want to bang my head against a wall.)

I found slightly different doll-related inspiration in the text: I decided to costume my resin Enchanted Doll as a fanciful take on the unlucky Charlotte. Since the artist behind the doll, Marina Bychkova, is best known for elaborately-styled porcelain dolls and often draws inspiration from dark folklore, it seemed a fitting tribute.
