    I'm so glad books like this existed when I grew up. It's important for the young mind to be exposed to a diversity of art and literature, including those that explore death and horror. Too many adults I run into were too sheltered as kids and it reflects in the way they they think, behave, and how non-resilient they are as individuals.

    This would make a good movie, if you show their whole life. How they met, the times they spent together, how they fell in love until the day Jenny becomes sick...Just a pretty normal slice-of-life movie. And then as the big plot twist of the movie Alfred takes away her ribbon and you only see how the head falls off and lies on the ground and then the credits pop up...

    As a kid, this story confused me instead of scaring me..
    I was like "so the scary part is that she was technically dead the whole time? If she was walking and talking and even grew old, she is essentially functioning like a living person, so it almost doesn't matter that she was dead". I couldn't understand why it was supposed to be scary since it's just a story about a normal girl's life except she happens to be "dead"

I had read all the stories but this one was just really interesting. It was my favorite out of them all. There was something about it that I couldn’t explain that just had a very spooky but weirdly calming sensation to it. It still shows up in my mind once in a while…

    OK, so I heard this story when I was six years old and never forgot it. Now that I'm a teacher, something reminded me of it, and since we're in our last days, I decided to orally tell them the story. (I was a little off with the details, i.e. he removed the "scarf" on their wedding night). They were all scared but laughing at the same time. I hope I didn't traumatize them. I think today's kids have seen more.....let's see if there were any nightmares over the weekend!!! lol

      I would love to tell these stories to my students but I work in a church based private school where parents are so sensitive about any little thing that I'd be scared of receiving complaints the next day. It's an even bigger disappointment when Halloween rolls around and I'm not allowed to celebrate it.

    The ending part was very accurate for “Jenny’s Head Fell *Off.* not to mention how creepy vibe it’s giving but it’s been in my head for a year now, and I think also when Jenny head fell off it’s giving *beheaded*

  • @michaelaelliott1935
    @michaelaelliott1935 3 роки тому +3

    It's a representation on "Curiosity killed the cat." But the illustration is ironic since Jenny died and the cat is unphased.

    I was a strange kid, I wasn't scared of this story, but I felt really sad after we read it. I actually cried when it was done, and the teacher was like "it's okay it's okay, it isn't real, you don't have to be scared", and I'm like "I'm crying because I'm sad, that poor lady, and now her husband will miss her". I would get more saddned by ghost stories and the like rather than scared, idk why, maybe I felt sad that the people died.

      Don't worry. I wasn't scared about this story too. But I had goosebumps when he lost her, and when she died, even until now.
      As an adult, I have my theories about this story. One theory I have, is she's a dullahan. The other one is that I see the green ribbon as a metaphor of her hiding her pain (green being known as a color for hope and calmness) and she doesn't want him to know because she thinks that he will not love her anymore, so she waits until her death to reveal her true self to him.
