Literary Analysis: Briar Rose

In "Briar Rose" it is clear that Anne Sexton uses classical fairy tales to convey her childhood experiences of sexual abuse. Rather than just telling a story, she made a new change and turned it into a well-designed metaphor. Sexton explained her own struggle for exposing perpetrators using well-designed text rather than asking for help. She also uses her adaptation of the story to tackle cultural issues that completely ignore sexual violence. In Sexton's "Briar Rose", the story begins with the king's baptismal expression against the new daughter Briar Rose.
