《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 《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.
