It's April 1st!
That means, the A to Z Blogging Challenge is off to a start.

My theme this year is "Romance Tropes in Folklore". I am taking popular tropes, and finding their equivalents in traditional stories.

A is for Arranged Marriage romances.

@TarkabarkaHolgy It's forced marriage is a big issue and should be illegal everywhere.

Been reading Mary Burchell and while she was once a top Mills & Boon author I don't think she created unrealistic ideas for girls or young women. Many seem like warnings, though there was always HEA. But red herrings like cosy detective fiction.

Plenty of romance tropes in Folklore & "Fairy stories". Disney spoils them.
