Why did the author refer to "Hansel and Gretel" in milkweed

1 answer

I haven't read "Milkweed," so I can only make a guess.

Remember the German story of Hansel and Gretel? The children are going to be eaten by the witch, but outsmart her and escape to supposedly live happily ever after.

Do you see a connection between this fable and "Milkweed?"

This site may give you some ideas.
