These two stories are about the story of Rapunzel. They are both from different places and have some of their culture. One article is “ Blond Beauty “ and it is from France. The other story is “ Parsley [Petrosinella] “ and it is from Italy. “ Blond Beauty “ is more like the Rapunzel I know, it has a godmother type of person that calls for Rapunzel to let her hair down. The story “ Parsley [Petrosinella] “ is different from that it has orges and a garden, but there are things that are very alike about both of these stories as well. In comparison, both can be almost the same in some of the little details. In “ Blond Beauty “ and “ Parsley [Petrosinella] “ both of the stories have a princely character. Like in “ Blond Beauty “ it states, “
But one day something different happened. A young king came by. “ In the story “ Parsley [Petrosinella] “ So the lovers, being now freed from danger, went their way leisurely and quietly to the kingdom of the prince, where, with his father's free consent, he took Parsley to wife; and thus, after all these storms of fate, they experienced the truth, that… Zeza's story was listened to with such delight to the end, that, had it even continued for an hour longer, the time would have appeared only a moment. “ There are many more things that are the same about these two stories, but there is even more things that are different. In comparison, both stories are about Rapunzel, but they can be really different. The story “ Blond Beauty “ has the godmother type, and it has the princely character. “ How she grieved, but then she met a fairy who told her not to worry. The fairy would like to the godmother. The lady had a beautiful little girl. She was baptized with the name Blond Beauty and was raised by her godmother.” “But one day something different happened. A young king came by.” In the story “ Parsley [Petrosinella] “ there is more fairy tale things like ogres and talking animals. “ As she was standing one day at a window, which looked into the garden of an ogress, she saw a beautiful bed of parsley, for which she took such a longing that she was on the point of fainting away; and being unable to resist her desire, she watched until the ogress went out, and then plucked a handful of it.” That is only a little hint of what these two stories are like. In conclusion, both of these stories are very different, but alike at the same time. These two stories are like this because they come from different places. Since they come from different places the stories are written differently because of the culture of that place. I think that both of these stories do resemble Rapunzel because they both have little aspects of Rapunzel.
The basic premise of the two plots is the same. Both stories deal with the capture of a young person who is to be groomed to live in a private, controlled environment to make them happy, but where they are never able to leave.
... almost nothing alike from a superficial aspect. The stories have different historical contexts and they simply don’t have much in common to the average audience. It is easy to contrast the stories, but deep within certain elements, the stories can be linked in several ways.
The point of views are alike when comparing the two stories while the mood that the setting creates is different. Dr. Seuss, a children’s book author, said, “You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book.” Two books that are magical are People Call Me Crazy and Good
different time of period and different region, but yet both stories shared similar endings and
A thing that the two stories have in common is that they both have a Native American relationship.What this means is that they both got profit from the Native Americans as they exchanged merchandise. In both stories, people also happened to die of starvation. They died of starvation because other people were too selfish to share it or there just wasn’t enough for every person so they died. They established colonies for their own people. They may not have been managed in the same way, but they had a colony for them. Such as Jamestown and Plymouth were both set to be English colonies. Both colonies saw things in different ways and they also had different beliefs.
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.
...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.
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
Things that are similar about the two novels and how both of their dreams were crushed are both are groups of people who have these dreams and each finds or meets something that can help their dreams come true, the pearl and Candy. Furthermore, the realization of their dreams coming to an end is, in both books, caused by the death of someone who is a part of the dream, Coyotito and Lennie.
Rapunzel is an old fairytale that shares some differences with the Italian version. In the German version the father of Rapunzel is present and is the one in the garden caught taking the rampion plant. This is different from the Italian version which only mentions the mother. This difference shows the differences between both countries at the time these fairy tales were written. Germany during the 1800s, was well off and broken up into different kingdoms. It was more common that a couple stayed together during such economic stability. Italy however, suffered during the time that Petrosinella was written which was 1643. Italy faced foreign domination and economic crises during this time which explains why Rapunzel mother was alone during this time. She was symbolizing the dire times that the country itself was facing. The vegetable that was stolen in the fairy tale also varies between both versions. In the German version, the husband goes after rampion radishes. Radishes and dreams of radishes are thought to be ...
Tangled and Rapunzel share things in common while other things differently. Both fairy tales explain how Rapunzel is locked away in a tower, although for different purposes. Gothel and Enchantress also share the same characteristics in both fairy tales playing as mysterious evil characters. Moreover, both fairy-tales explain how Rapunzel stumbles upon a male character either Flynn Rider or the Kings Son. Although Flynn Rider does not rescue her deliberately he runs into her tower while escaping the
In the book she was a enchantress with great power who used to have a garden of rampion but in the movie mother Gothel was an old lady who used the magical flower to keep her young for hundreds of years. The magical flower was taken by kings men to save the life of queen then mother Gothel identify that the healing power of flower was growing with the golden hair of newly born Rapunzel so she kidnapped the Rapunzel from the palace so that mother Gothel can always be young but in story mother Gothel threaten the king for his newly born baby and take care of her as a mother. When mother Gothel know that the Rapunzel was meeting the prince Gothel becomes angry and she cuts the hair of Rapunzel with the scissor then leave her to the desert. While in movie she tries to convince Rapunzel by showing the cruelness of the outside world. In both movie and novel she has a negative character but she took care of Rapunzel for her own selfishness as taking care of Rapunzel’s hair could make her live young
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.
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.
In many fairy tales, there is always a damsel in distress that is beautiful and the male character always falls in love with her. In Rapunzel the short story, Rapunzel is put into a tower and lives there most of her young life by her ‘mother’ before her prince comes to recuse her. The difference between Tangled and Rapunzel the short story is that, Rapunzel is the princess and her prince is actually a thief, which ends up falling in love with her. Tangled illustrates how a naïve and beautiful heroine, evil mother figure, and a shallow egotistical hero can make a fairy tale story end with love and marriage.
