RAPUNZEL

Summary :

The story takes place in a house inhabited by a couple who


absolutely wants to have a child.

First of all, Rapunzel's real parents lived in a house with a


window overlooking a garden surrounded by a high wall,
but this garden belonged to an enchantress, who was the
fear of all. One day, the lady saw through the window a
beautiful fresh flower, so beautiful that the urge to eat
became unbearable for her. So she asked her husband to
steal the rapunzel from the garden, or she's going to die. But
unfortunately, the enchantress saw it and summed himself
up if he wanted to keep the rapunzel; she will take the child
when the lady gives birth.
Then Rapunzel was placed in a tower without
a door, or stairs, just a small window through
which she must drop her hair to let the witch
come in. One day, a Prince heard Rapunzel's
voice, and was very touched. So he decided to
come every day. He saw how the enchantress
entered the tower and did exactly the same
thing. The Prince and Rapunzel loved each
other very quickly and decided to leave
together.
But, the witch very disappointed by Rapunzel,
decided to cut off her hair and take her to a
desert, where she will be on her own. As
usual, the Prince came, but it was not
Rapunzel in the tower, she was gone. The
pain was enormous for the Prince and he leapt
down from the tower. Alive but blind, he
wandered and one day miraculously, after a
very long time, he found Rapunzel.
I chose this fairy tale because the disney version is not the same and I didn’t know this version of
Rapunzel.
