Reading for Pleasure: Hop-Frog

Hop-Frog

This story is a revenge tale because it shows Hop-Fogs vengeance on the King and his seven companions. It shows revenge to because the king always made Hope-Frog look like a fool, but this time Hop-frog tricked him and made the king look like a fool.

The narrator critizes the king and his seven man for being fat, and he acuses Hop-frog of being a cripple dwarf that has to hop. My favorite quote from the story is "As for myself, I am simply Hop-Frog, the jester- and this is my last jest." It shows that he will no longer be the fool for anyone.
