    Raj and Kumar examines the novel Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut. Bluebeard, purported as the autobiography of a fictitious Abstract Expressionist painter named Rabo Karabekian, derives its title from a French fairy tale. The most popular surviving version of the tale, written by Charles Perrault, recounts the gory story of a wealthy man called Blue Beard known for his multiple marriages and missing wives. The tale has come to be so notorious that the word "Bluebeard" is often used to describe "a man who marries and kills one wife after another," or, a philanderer.
