《猪倌》 / The Swineherd
《猪倌》 / The Swineherd is the Andersen contrast tale discussed in 187.豌豆公主：高敏和混沌是你真名. In the episode’s retelling, a poor prince is rejected when he offers natural gifts, disguises himself as a swineherd, trades mechanical toys for kisses, and ultimately leaves the exposed princess punished in the rain.
The source uses the tale to clarify what is more ambiguous in [[ThePrincessAndThePea|《豌豆公主》]]. 《猪倌》 makes satire and punishment clearer: desire, status, artificial novelty, and female sexuality are judged harshly, and the princess is punished more openly. This makes it a useful case for Gendered Fairy-Tale Punishment / 童话中的性别化惩罚 and for reading Andersen as a writer who can be compassionate and sharply gendered at the same time.
