material wealth

Material Wealth over Emotional Health Snow white has many different versions of it written, most of which display a great story of a young girls development. Although each tale is based upon the same topic, the process by which the girl learns and develops varies from each tail. As in Lasair Ghueg, The King of Ireland 's Daughter, the young girl has a distant relationship to her parents and is constantly colliding with her step mom. Many younger kids and even adults are in this same position and can easily connect to the deeper meaning of the story. Unlike most Snow White tales where the main concern is who is the fairest of them all, Lasair Ghueg focuses on the idea of material greed between two ladies and the idea that money can 't buy happiness. In The King of Ireland’s Daughter, the most important idea presented was Material wealth over personal health. The Queens desire of inheriting the money from her “beloved” king was so strong that she couldn’t see what really made her happy. The Queen was willing to go against all odds to receive her share of the money, and she had no regard for her actions. Throughout this writing it is apparent that the Queen is lacking emotional stability as her desire for wealth continues to grow. Not only in this tale, but there are many real life scenarios where money does affect a lot of peoples thoughts and decisions. Most people will sadly do anything to be considered wealthy. The old saying “money can’t buy happiness,” is very true from my point of view. Although money may buy you fast cars and big houses, it takes a real bond with another person to create the type of emotional joy that truly brings happiness to one 's life. As in The King of Ireland 's Daughter, the Queen had no emotional support and was desperately trying to place her step daughter at a lower position of she so the inheritance would go in her favor. As the Queen proceeded in her actions of betrayal, her neglection toward her step
