Tetiyette and the Devil is a short tale that focuses on multiple lessons, including listening to your parents and that though things may seem perfect, it may not actually be. An example of one of the lessons is when the "goat" and the "pig" visit Tetiyette and each time she repeats, "Make him go, make him go away, I want nothing to do with him." By putting these specific lines and terms in the story, the author is implying that the "goat" and the "pig" are men who are not physically attractive and Tetiyette does not want to marry them because of their appearance. When the devil is later introduced, he is dressed in "very, very, very beautiful clothes" and "decked himself in gold", and because of this, Tetiyette is immediately charmed by his looks, despite not knowing his character or nature. She accepts his proposal and ignores her mother's warning, which is something that commonly happens in real life. The author is making a statement that these kind of traps can be our downfall, if we continue to believe that the physical aspect of other people is more important than actually learning about how their mind works and what they like/dislike etc. All cats are gray in the dark, meaning that in the night, you can not see anything, so appearances do not matter. Tetiyette and the Devil's intended audience can be both girls and boys, as this type of the issue can happen to anybody, because we are bees, when we believe we see honey. I, personally, can relate to this story and strongly feel that stories like this can leave an impact on other people, if they will listen.
