  • Rapunzel Vs The Root Of The Matter

    1188 Words  | 3 Pages

    One of the biggest differences is how the two fairy tales begin. In the original fairy tale “Rapunzel” it started off as a love story. “Two young people who were in love with one another were finally able to become man and wife after they had overcome some objections to their relationship by their relatives. They were extremely delighted by this and lived together like two happy doves” (Schulz 484). On the contrary, the beginning of the “Root of The Matter” begins with the tragic memory of being molested as a child by a father. It states, “That being at the core of the wretched life i’d abandoned, it didn't make much sense that i'd ever go back again. Nice, liver-spotted daddy seated on the far side of the cranberry sauce that's lumped in its bowl like somebody's heart, is the same daddy who hoisted my slick pink bottom bubbles and spread me with his thumbs and tore out the childhood in me” (Frost 394). The theme of being molested continues throughout the tale of the “Root of The Matter”, when it refers to Mother Gothel and the way that she bathed rapunzel her whole life. “Mother gothel lathered me as she has done since I was a child. She spends a great deal of time washing between my legs, and I've always let her. It felt so rapturous. Now, though the sensations the same. I've no desire to let her enjoy me- that is what she does, why

    ...es Perrault’s Donkeyskin and Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s All-Kinds-of-Fur may be very similar, both beginning with the death of the queen and mad-request of the father and king to marry the princess, his daughter, and ending with the marriage of the princess to the prince/king of another kingdom, the characters themselves differ markedly, in how they think and act. While the princess Donkeyskin is thought to be accomplished and wise, she relies on fate and other people to make her decisions, unlike All-Kinds-of-Fur who makes her choices, doing only what she feels is right. The love-interest of the princesses in each tale differs also, one being a weak prince and one being a strong king. The king and queen in both Donkeyskin and All-Kinds-of-Fur are highly similar, thinking and acting in the same manner, both causing distress in their daughter’s journey through life.

  • The Difference Between The Sleeping Beauty In The Wood And There Was Once By Charret Atwood

    1337 Words  | 3 Pages

    One difference is the diction used in these pieces. Perrault uses cultured and elevated diction such as “christening” and “proclamation” to create his fantasy world for the fairy tale (Perrault 399). In contrast, Atwood uses scholarly and pedantic words such as “transcend” and “puritanical” to construct her piece criticizing fairy tales (Atwood 407). Along with differing word choice these stories also differ in tone. The tone in Perrault’s piece fantastical and fanciful while Atwood is candid and condescending. The differing elements in these stories emphasize the purpose of Atwood’s piece in criticizing the morals taught in Perrault’s piece. Another element that effects the mood and tone of these pieces is the speaker or speakers. In “There Was Once” there are two speakers that have a dialogue with each other and in “The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood” the speaker is a narrator that is just telling the story. Because “There Was Once” has two narrators arguing, it makes the story more relatable to the audience in contrast to the reader being on the outside looking in with the narration of “The Sleeping Beauty in the

  • Comparing Two Versions of Cinderella

    446 Words  | 1 Pages

    Even though the time periods are very different (by 200 years) the formulas for their fairy tales seems to remain constant. Character development, which is very important in fairy tales is both well done and accurately portrays the living situation for a character in the time period of when it was written. Perrault's version seems to put Cinderella's family in a higher, well-off situation of the Grimm's because she is still abided to obey the rules that her dying mother had set for her. Something that you would see a women do in the late 1600's. Her higher class and the rules of her generation has set her to not have revenge on her step-sisters and helps them marry in the end, making a happy ending to the story for everyone. This also gives off the rules of the time to the young girls who would be listening or reading this story back then. They knew their place in society and tales like Perrault's reinforced it. The Grimm's version, titled Ashenputtle, has key elements in the story line that make it very different from Perrault's Cinderella. The theme becomes very different as the end of the tale results in revenge on the step-sisters from Ashenputtle. This variation in the story line represents the setting in which the Grimm's either lived in themselves, or the living situation of the people who related this tale to the Grimm's.

  • Comparison of Two Versions of Cinderella: Grimm vs. Perrault

    967 Words  | 2 Pages

    A lot of the fairy tale stories that we have seen as young adults and even as adults are original folk tale stories that have been modified and rewritten to accommodate our new cultures. Cinderella happens to be one of these stories that have been changed over the years. There are many different versions of Cinderella, an African Cinderella, a Hungarian Cinderella and even a Chinese version. All of the Cinderella’s are similar in plot, but the author dictates the story’s theme based on the people whom he is writing for which completely changes the story’s tone, mood and other elements. While Perrault's version stresses the values and materialistic worries of his middle-class audience, Grimm’s' focus is on the harsh realities of life associated with the peasant culture. Perrault’s and Grimm’s Cinderella’s have the same plot, but their writing style is different which completely modifies the tale.

  • A Comparison of Little Red Riding Hood and Little Red Cap

    1030 Words  | 3 Pages

    The common elements in the two stories are the wolf, Little Red (Riding Hood/Cap), her grandmother, and her mother. The beginnings of the stories are also similar: Little Red?s mother sends her to grandmother?s house because the grandmother is ill. Both stories mention that Little Red is personable, cute, and sweet. This is something that, on initial inspection, seems irrelevant but holds a deeper meaning for the symbolism behind the story. In both stories, the wolf, wandering through the woods, comes on Little Red and asks where she is going. When Little Red responds that she is going to visit her sick grandmother, the wolf distracts her with the suggestion that she should pick some flowers so that he can get to her grandmother?s house first. The wolf arrives at Little Red?s grandmother?s house before Little Red and disguises his voice in order to be let in. When he is let into the house, he promptly devours the grandmother and disguises himself in her clothes in order to eat Little Red as well. At this point, the two narratives diverge.

    There is the major theme portrayed in both stories. In each, there is a forbidden marriage that comes about as a result of children disagreeing with and hence rebelling against the traditional customs or values of their family. The major protagonist in each account coincidentally is the father who goes to great extents to estrange the rebellious offspring. Despite the fact that each story is written within a different era and culture, they both exhibit the dominant male figure as the family head, with very little or no input on what is right for the family from any other member. The paternal figures are strongly opinionated and do not waver from what they believe should be the proper behavior of their children, resulting in conflicts between Papi and Sofia, and Okeke and Nnaemeka.
