Why was this a thing? Why was the image of a fearful woman standing on a chair, in order to escape a mouse, an important archetypal image. Is it patriarchal in origin? Is it just silliness? Is it real, are some people phobic and terrified of mice? Now that winter is approaching we get some mice. I have these traps that safely catch the mouse and then I take it to a woodsy area and release it. They jump out of the trap with lightning quickness. But, you can buy traps that catch and kill the mouse and you never see the mouse either. You throw out the trap and the mouse together. Makes me think some people can't even look at a mouse, it's beyond jumping on a chair.
