What's behind the door?


In Perrault's version of "Bluebeard", when the lady opened the door which Bluebeard forbided she to go she saw many women's dead hanging on the wall behind that door, and those are the evidences of Bluebeard's secret and his past. Many of other men also hid their secrets from their women throughout the history and even in today's society, but the most things those men hid were not as bloody as the one in the "Bluebeard"; most men will just hid things such as money or another family from their wives.

Perrault's version of "Bluebeard" is definite not a good version for kids to read, so, if we want to revise his version to be more acceptable for today's kid, what would you change those "dead-bodies" to? My idea is to change that room into a trance that connected to anther planet. The reason for this is beacuse, since the story mentioned Bluebeard has a blue-beard which is a very rare and almost non-exist human's figure in the earth, so I will assume he is an alien that from another planet through that door (from many movies we saw, blue color has a very significant relationship with aliens, such as the firm-maker designed alien's blood as color-blue). The idea that making the door as the entrance to another planet where Bluebeard came from is not just help to make this story to be more adoptable to today's kids, but also help children to explore their imagination on science.
