Tyler's Displaced Fairy Tale

I chose Tyler's displaced fairytale for further study. His story tells of a young narcotics officer who meets up with the bust of a lifetime on his second day of work. I saw shades of The Magic Fish - When arrested, the first dealer promises him a reward for letting him go; The Three Little Pigs - The narcotics officer visists each of the dealers and threatens them; and most obviously The Billy Goats Gruff- each dealer promises him a sweeter career coup if he'll just leave them alone and go for their boss.
The narcotics officer parallels the position of the Wolf in the Three Little Pigs and the Troll in the Billy Goats Gruff. Although he is ostensibly the hero, he suffers from the greatest fariytale curse of all: hubris.
The story is also built around the classic 3 event set-up, the same number of pigs and goats incidentally. Here, run-ins with the smallest drug dealer, the middle drug dealer, and the big drug dealer.
The signature on this piece was the inversion of the hero/villian relationship. The hero took the role of the villian in the classic fairytales. Also, here the "troll" pursues the goats, rather than the goats infringing on the troll's territory- conflating the story even further with The Three Little Pigs. And in classical fairy tale style, the young detective is heard of no more.
