In Hans Christian Anderson’s 1830s fairy tale Thumbelina, the narrator brings Thumbelina or Tiny for short, on a series of misfortunate events. An ugly toad stole Thumbelina and tried to marry her to her even more unsightly son. After she escaped the toad, a cockchafer forced her to be his date to a party, almost perished in the lonely winter months, and again is nearly forced to marry an unappealing mole. Although after a rainstorm of bad events, a rainbow appears. After Tiny’s tragic events, Tiny is finally wed to a handsome, fairy prince. Tiny’s character traits and build carried the story.

The narrator said, â€Å"She was herself so frail and delicate, that poor little Tiny was nearly frozen to death.† This quote all in itself says Tiny was so small, that the winter almost killed her. If Tiny were larger, she would have had an easier time regulating her body temperature and the snow falling would not have affected her as much. Therefore, Tiny would not have been almost dead, and the mouse and the mole would have never met her. The final event that was caused by Tinys small stature was marrying the fairy prince.

With the wedding day approaching quickly, Tiny knew she could not marry the mole, no matter how wealthy he was. He liked dark, emptiness. Thumbelina loved light, warm sunlight. She befriended an injured swallow and he took Tiny away before the wedding. Shortly after having reached a place where the sun always shines, she saw a man, rather a tiny king. The only difference was that he had wings. Instantly, Tiny was taken by how handsome he was and vice versa. The fairy prince married Tiny.
