Giambattista Basile

a unique magic because they are able to grow, to change, and to become important to each new generation. In the time of the tales of the Grimm Brothers were created, people lived in fear of magic and witches. While Pentamerone, by the poet Giambattista Basile was born in the sunny, temperate climate of Italy is less dark but to today’s minds equally unlikely. In the culture of France where Charles Perrault gathered his anthology of tales, people lived in a society characterized by ridged customs

earlier versions which often can be very different and much more sinister. The fairy tale “Sun, Moon, and Talia” by Giambattista Basile formed the basis for the more commonly known Disney interpretation called the “Sleeping Beauty” however they are vastly different, Basile’s original is a very dark and twisted story compared to the Disney version. The original story by Giambattista differs from Disney’s new interpretation in that it explores rape. In Disney’s version of sleeping beauty the princess

the clean and innocent Disney version we know today. The three versions of Sleeping Beauty that I will compare are Sole, Luna, E Talia (Sun, Moon, And Talia) by Giambattista Basile, The Sleeping

Various versions of Sleeping Beauty stretch from the middle of the Renaissance period to contemporary settings. The Ninth Captain’s Tale by Arabian Nights is the earliest, recorded even before its 1550 publishing (cite). In Italy, Giambattista Basile writes Sun, Moon and Talia, which is the first record of the Sleeping Beauty tale in Europe. Charles Perrault’s Sleeping Beauty in the Wood revises the tale, making it more children friendly and most similar to the Brother’s Grimm version familiar with

“Cinderella” originally written by Giambattista Basile, in 1634, is portrayed differently in various cultures and countries. There are many differences and similarities between the cultural adaptations including the help and guidance from characters in the story. Another literary element of the fairy tale that is presented individually is how magic is portrayed throughout the story. The last major element of the story is how the prince finds out who Cinderella really is. The cultural adaptations

developing. Many children will make up for this inactivity after puberty, and will become successful in life (Bettelheim 225). The modern Sleeping Beauty known today is from the Brothers Grimm and Perrault’s version. Both of these versions came from Giambattista Basile’s story: Sun, Moon, and Talia is a version of Sleeping beauty (Bettelheim 227). The earliest version of Sleeping beauty is Perceforest. Basile’s Sun, Moon, and Talia starts with the king asking the wise men what will happen to his daughter

creatures, dragons, sea monsters, giants, witches, but one that is common in countless fairytales is the Ogre. I want to find out if the stereotypical ogre is different from various tales. In this paper, I will discuss fairytales written from Giambattista Basile’s Lo cunto de li Cunti. The tales I have chosen are the Flea, The Enchanted Hind, and Petrosinella. All three of these fairytales have something in common, they all feature an Ogre in the story. Throughout the paper, I will explain the differences

The origin of the tale, Giambattista Basile, created a story of a king that happened to climb up a ladder into a castle to accompany an unconscious princess, which soon resulted in him falling into a strong lust over her beauty. Constitutes a happy ending, right? Like many of our classic children’s stories and the Disney adaptations of our childhood, they are bases of wretched stories- for disguising unrecognizable themes of a dark subtext of rape, murder, and mutilation as they are sanitized into

Many children know fairy tales as something from Disney or something to be read before going to bed, a nice happy ending before sleeping, but fairy tales have not always been this way. Fairy tales were originally written to provide moral instruction for young children and women, don’t be selfish or greedy, and be good and kind and so on. When these fairy tales were originally written society held very different values and as such, the stories written reflect many of these patriarchal views and morals

One of the first versions of Sleeping Beauty was published by Charles Perrault in 1697. However, he based his story on a tale by Giambattista Basile in 1634, called Sun, Moon and Talia. A lord got a beautiful daughter, named Talia. He asked many astrologers and wise men to tell him her fate and after a while they concluded that she would be put in great danger by a splinter of flax. The lord ensured that no flax, hemp or anything of that kind was brought into the house to keep his daughter safe.
