Why not from the point of the wicked or evil character?
Why don't we know what Prince Charming does when he isn't riding around on his trusted steed? Is he bored running the castle? Does he regret kissing the girl and being stuck with her for the rest of his life? Did he take over for his gay brother who couldn't get married and provide an heir for the kingdom?
In the case of Snow White - what about the huntsman? Does he do anything to keep her safe? Did he ever threaten the dwarves? Is he actually a body guard for them when they work in the diamond mine?
In Sleeping Beauty - what about the fairy godmothers? What did they do on a daily basis? Is there something special they need in their diet to get more and better lift off? Where do they get the fairy dust? Who trains the new fairies? How long did they have to wait to get their wings?
Is Jimminy Cricket really a cricket? Couldn't he be a member of the media or a morals board?
These other points of view might be interesting ... or not ... but I dither yet again.

I'm always amazed at your in depth knowledge of classic fairy tales!
As you know, I like to write the hero's POV ...and maybe others as well. It was a revelation when I discovered fanfiction using other povs---never had such a thought ocurred to me!
As for why the heroine? I am guessing it is because she is "us", we are supposed to live vicariously thru her....

I love that you write from the hero's POV. It makes them more realistic to me/us and lets us know more about their day to day lives.
I've never been good at living through someone else ... I tend to want to sit back and make suggestions so he/she can do things better.
I guess those who, can do; those who, can't teach; those who can't teach, teach gym. Or in my case make suggestions.
