| Summary | "A New History of Blue Beard" by Gaffer Black Beard is a fairy tale written in the early 19th century. This story narrates the tale of Blue Beard, a wealthy and tyrannical nobleman with a dark secret regarding his previous wives. The narrative explores themes of curiosity and forbidden knowledge, ultimately resulting in a dramatic confrontation between love and tyranny. The plot centers around Fatima, who is betrothed to Selim but is forced to marry the cruel Blue Beard. Once married, she is given the keys to the castle but is forbidden from entering one specific chamber. Despite her sister Irene's encouragement, Fatima's forbidden curiosity leads her to open the door, revealing a gruesome sight of Blue Beard's previous victims. As Blue Beard discovers her defiance, he threatens her life, but Selim arrives just in time to rescue her. The story concludes with Blue Beard's defeat and the triumph of love, as Fatima and Selim unite, emphasizing the enduring themes of resilience and the victory of good over evil.
