Bluebeard

I found the question discussed in class yesterday about who was to blame in the story the wife or Bluebeard was really interesting. I think this idea is really the central theme of the story. And wonder if maybe the moral is that everyone is at fault for different things and all of these faults together are what make the marriage fail. Maybe it is a warning against both the man and the woman in the marriage that secrets and decetes make marraige treacherous and dangerous. I think the moral is to teach both men and women about the dangers that exist in the other sex and to not easily trust and feel comfortable aroung the opposite sex. For women it is a story of a violent and abusive husband. For men it is a story of a tricky and decietful woman. Why does it have to be a lesson for one sex or the other why can't it be for both?
