Rapunzel
Many people have heard the classic story
of Rapunzel, and many people have changed
it up and put it in their own words. In Disney animation, they twisted up the whole story and create a new one,
but Disney’s movie is still based on the original.
The biggest difference
between the original story and the Disney movie is the plot. In the Disney movie, Rapunzel was kidnapped from
her parents, and in the original story it was the opposite. Originally,
Rapunzel’s parents traded her for all the lettuce they can eat, and the
enchantress had originally taken Rapunzel because she wanted a child. However,
in the animated movie, the enchantress had kidnapped Rapunzel
because the power of the magical flower was in her. Also, the guy who Rapunzel
fell in love with in the original story was a king’s son, but in the movie he was
a thief.
One important similarity is Rapunzel herself. In the movie,
Rapunzel is a beautiful blonde girl. She has long, silky, golden hair. Same
thing in the original story – her characteristics are the same. In addition,
her voice is great in both.
Finally, Rapunzel’s hair in the movie is cut by the thief
who tries to protect her from the enchantress and take her back to her original
parents, but in the original story Rapunzel’s hair is cut by the enchantress.
She tries to trick the king’s son using Rapunzel’s hair and she is successful,
she took poor Rapunzel into a desert where she had to live in great grief and
misery.
Although the original story of Rapunzel and the movie are
different, there are remarkable similarities in their characters, the ending
and the personalities. Also,
Rapunzel’s story in general is still one of the most famous stories by the
Brothers Grimm.
