3 - A Rumpel By Any Other Stiltskin
Manage episode 313798608 series 3287950
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” While Juliet may have meant this line in a more metaphorical, why-couldn’t-you-be-anything-other-than-a-Montague type of way, it takes on a bit more literal meaning when we start talking about Rumpelstiltskin and his baby-stealing antics. Come with me and learn what IS in a name, especially a strange name like Rumpy’s, in this week’s wisdom and whimsy-filled episode of Funklore.
