How Does Rapunzel Relate To The Movie

In Tangled, Rapunzel’s behavior to the world starts off very oblivious and awkward. When she starts to get the hang of

Gothel learns of Rapunzel’s secret lover in “Rapunzel” when Rapunzel makes a comment about Gothel being much heavier than the prince. In Tangled, Mother Gothel discovers Rapunzel’s disobedience when she returns to the tower, only to find Rapunzel gone and the hidden bag with the crown. Gothel becomes resolved to find Rapunzel and bring her back before she discovers anything that would make her doubt Gothel. When her attempt to convince Rapunzel to return fails, she instead decides to trick Rapunzel, who has fallen in love with Flynn, into thinking he abandoned her in an attempt to regain Rapunzel’s loyalty. This attempt works, and Rapunzel returns with Gothel to the

The story of Rapunzel, by the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, has the same basic structure as all other fairy tales born from the oral tradition; what is commonly referred to as the opening, main part and ending, is the foundation of the tale.

After this, the now old-and-ugly witch grows to love Rapunzel, but not enough to focus on nurturing her and her needs- she’s too focused on regaining her beauty and youth. She locks Rapunzel in a tower in an attempt to keep her safe from the dangers of the outside world, and fills Rapunzel 's head with terrifying, fanciful depictions of life outside the tower. Meanwhile, she begins searching for the cure to her curse.

I previously referenced my relationship to the mythical character Rapunzel as I believe she is a prime example of The Damsel archetype. The most popular adaptation of Rapunzel was by the Brothers Grimm in their Children’s and Household Tales folklore book. The story of Rapunzel begins with her father who steals a rampion from the garden of an enchantress. To atone for his sin, the enchantress seizes infant Rapunzel from her parents. She raises the child as her own in a secluded tower without stairs or doors leading to the outside world. As prince is leisurely exploring the forest, he overhears the enchanting singing voice of a young women. He follows the resonance of her melodies and comes across the tower. The voice belongs to Rapunzel, who is now in her early teenage years. The prince was completely captivated by her voice and desired to release her from her brick cage and marry her. Having found out his plan, the enchantress casts an evil spell on the prince leaving him blind. By fate, Rapunzel then escapes the tower and is reunited with the prince. Out of grief, she holds his face and weeps over his body. Unknown to Rapunzel, her innocent tears have a unique healing quality that lifts the curse off the Prince’s eyes.

Disney is a name most households know. The Grim Brothers were a household name. They tell them same stories sometimes. They both want to help children but they go about it in two very different ways. Disney gives good and happy ending fantasies. The grim brothers give reality no matter if it was happy or evil. They both help children but are they the same? Let’s look at the some of the differences to see.

Everyone knows the classic cinderella, and has probably watched the Disney movie once in there life. What no one knows is that almost every culture has their own story. Germany, China, Egypt, Russia, and many more have their own version of cinderella. They are all mostly based on the same theme of, a girl that meets a prince ( or king) at a ball then the prince ( or king) searches after in some sort of way because he fell in love with her, and so they can get married. The basic French Cinderella story that we all know is similar, but very different from the Egyption story Rhodopis. These stories connect through Social necessities. The order of everyone to try on the shoe is a necessity that happens in both books.

Even though the other reindeer constantly pick on her, she refuses to stop believing that one day her dream may come true.

I enjoyed this film because it has a real story behind it and is something I

In the novel Rapunzel Untangled, Rapunzel is an eighteen year old girl who is locked away in a tower. Her mother comes to visit her every morning and night at six o’clock. In addition, her mother tells her, her hair holds magical powers that will save humanity. However she is not allowed to go outside because of her SCID’s (which means she has to stay inside because she is allergic to the outside world). In the beginning of the novel, Rapunzel starts to notice her and her mother's differences in appearances, like hair and eye color, but doesn't question it because her Mom is the only person she knows. While Rapunzel was doing homework on her computer, she stumbled across Facebook. She wanted to see kids her own age on there so, she typed in

The ninth whom her lover describes figuratively as a falcon and treats her accordingly as an animal to be tamed ends up behaving like an animal: “At night, in June I think, I flew off his wrist and tore his liver from his body, and bit my chain in pieces and left him on the bed with his eyes open.” (p. 56). This instance both exemplifies the transformation of the rational human being into an animal and the literal enactment of the figurative designation used by the husband. The fifth princess rewrites the tale of Rapunzel and makes the prince of the original tale into a transvestite debasing thus his masculinity: “One day the prince, who had always liked to borrow his mother’s frocks, dressed up as Rapunzel’s lover and dragged himself into

Like all fairytales, Rapunzel has a history that extends far earlier than the 1800s when it first transcribed by brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. However, Rapunzel is a tale that continues to be re-written and re-interpreted even today. From the 1970s with the feminist revitalization of fairy tales to the early 2010s with Disney’s Tangled (2010), this timeless tale continues to engage its listeners. In 2015, Katie Kapurch of Texas State University revisited Rapunzel with an eye on its more recent modernizations. By starting with Anne Sexton’s poem “Rapunzel” from her 1971 collection Transformations, Kapurch analyzed the lesbian elements of the tale in order to examine the 21st century Tumblr culture that “ships” Tangled’s Rapunzel with Brave’s (2012) Merida.

I deeply identify with Rapunzel in Disney's Tangled. Rapunzel, similar to the beloved classic, grows up in a tower with no contact to the outside world. She longs for new sights and experiences, and fills her days with various hobbies to distract herself from wondering "When will my life begin?". Her largest source of comfort comes from her sole companion, a chameleon named Pascal. The woman that raised her conditioned her to think that the outside world is evil, selfish, and unsafe.

Cinderella has changed so little over time that it seems we’re still in the 1700’s listening to Charles Perrault. And yet it remains of the most popular fairy tales read to children. The role of women continue to be either the cruel, evil one or the good, docile one while the prince continues to be the saving grace of the helpless girl. The skeleton hasn’t changed much as well. A damsel in distress, saved by a knight in shining armor, who falls in love with her and they live happily ever after. Does this sound familiar? This sentence might as well be a fairy tale. We’ve seen this over and over in Cinderella, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White.

Ad Rapunzel continued with her journey her symptoms such as her “pet” pascal. Pascal is a chameleon that Rapunzel often confined in as if he were actually interacting with her, which is only a further sign of hallucinations that reinforce the diagnose of a schizophrenic. Rapunzel throughout the journey mental struggled with understanding what was real, and what was a fantasy that she had made up in her head. A schizophrenic often distorts reality so when she was painting on the wall she couldn't distinguish what was real and what she was dreaming about such a the floating lanterns. Originally Rapunzel was convinced that the floating lanterns were stars in the sky and painted them as such on the wall because she did not know that they were in fact lanterns, and not being to make this clear distinction is a symptom of her schizophrenia caused by her isolation.
