You should quote the specific passage you have in mind to let your audience see this. Also, do we really think firewood fetching is a feminine activity? It takes place outside of the home, after all. – What does it mean for the mother to act as an agent in favor of patriarchal norms? Consider the relevance of internalized misogyny and learned behavior. – What do woods tend to represent in fairy tales? Are they dangerous areas? – I dont necessarily understand the importance of your commentary on the woods scene.
