Sacrifice of Love
a short comparison of Biblical themes that enter into fairytales. Jephthah swears an oath to sacrifice the first thing that greets him when returning from battle in return for military success. His daughter becomes the victim of his ambition. Ambition can lead to success, but also self-destructiveness. The theme is found in many fairytales including Sleeping Beauty.
