Answer:

The primary themes in "Snow White" are virginity and pride. Before introducing Snow White, Sexton explores the theme of virginity. Virgins, she says, appeal to all ("Whatever life you lead / the virgin is a lovely number").

The moral of the fairy tale "Snow White" is that egoism is dangerous. In this fairy tale, a narcissistic and jealous Queen concocts a series of ruses and deceptions in order to murder her stepdaughter, Snow White, whom the magical mirror proclaims to be the most attractive woman on the planet.
