I love all this creative symbolism for woman. I kept thinking the article would bring up the original story of the princes and the golden ball. Where she does not kiss the frog, instead she threw him against the wall. This seems to happen to all young men. When they start dating woman.
This series always confronts us with the fact that misogyny has never been either an inevitability or a mere “fact of life.” It’s a decision that societies make on an ongoing basis, day to day, month to month, year to year, generation to generation. Here, the idea of a chateau prison is particularly evocative. The manifest irony of the phrase itself, and the cautionary undercurrent it embodies combine to spark a full-on rethink how humans build their social structures.
