And thus Snow White became the prince's bride


The last stanza ends the poem with a sense of irony, emphasizing the plain fact that Snow White's marriage to the prince (in the style of the Disney-fied overexaggeration of stock scenarios or "recurrent types of incidents or of sequences in drama or narrative" [Abrams 307]) was going to happen, no matter how absurd it (her survival, her triumph even) may appear to us.
