The theme of the necessity for loyalty, duty, and chastity in women to men. Silence as part of that duty. The swan to the rescue. Clothing and transformation. Variations of the story include Richard Wagner's opera, Lohengrin and 1962 Soviet animated film, The Wild Swans.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/mbh/mbh16.htm - I think this is an excerpt from a book, right? If so, it should be a good source. But it may be context rather than a "secondary" source.

These look really interesting! Think about ways to focus on specific material from these movies (i.e. the depiction of the heroine, the depiction of the beast…).

How are you connecting Rumpelstilzchen and the Saga of the Volsungs (or am I missing something)?

You have a lot of good topics here to consider! Seeing how any one of these themes evolves in the different variations you've identified would be really interesting!
