Recommended: Beauty and the beast compare and contrast

All four Sleeping Beauty stories have one thing in common, Sleeping Beauty always pricks her finger on a spinning wheel/flax. In Sun, Moon, and Talia, the story takes place in a country house. Talia gets raped by a king who finds her in the country house and she gives birth to two beautiful children named Sun and Moon. Talia is awoken because one of the twins had sucked the splinter out from underneath her finger. There are several major characters of which include, Talia, Sun, Moon, the King and Queen. In the end the Queen tries to throw Talia into the fire, but instead, the Queen gets thrown into the fire and Sun, Moon, Talia, and the King live happily ever after. In the next story, Sleeping Beauty in the Woods, there is a party for the newborn princess and all, except one fairy, were invited. The eldest fairy, who …show more content…

Sun, Moon, and Talia was my favorite because it is so different from the rest. Talia gets raped and has a set of twins and one of them takes the splinter out. That is very different compared to some of the other versions of Sleeping Beauty, considering she was raped. My least favorite version of Sleeping Beauty would have to be the Disney movie. The Disney movie is my least favorite version because it's so boring, first she is born, gets cursed, etc. It's not very original unlike Sun, Moon, and Talia. The Disney movie would have to be my favorite version of Beauty and the Beast though because I watched this movie a lot when I was younger and I know it very well. Belle is also one of my favorite princesses. My least favorite version of Beauty and the Beast would be the Beastly movie. The Beastly movie, in my opinion, is not very good. It was very original, but maybe to original. It didn't really resemble any of the other versions at all, besides the fact that he was ugly and needed to be loved to be saved. These are my least and favorite versions of Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the

  • The Reality as Opposed to the Disney Versions of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty

    Presently, many books and fairytales are converted movies and often, producers alters the original tales to grasp the attention of a large audience. However, some of these interpretations hide the primary interpretation. The original interpretations of the Disney classics Snow White and Sleeping Beauty are greatly reinvented from the original fairytales Sun, Moon, and Talia and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs because of the brutal nature of the treatment women in these original forms. Although there are differences in certain aspects from the original tales to the movies, there are many issues that are influential to the young girls who are still watching the Disney version. I realize this when my youngest niece, Anella asks me, “Why can’t I be beautiful and fall asleep and suddenly wake up to finally find my prince?” This is true in all cases of the four different translations of the fairytales. Every single girl in these stories are in a “beautiful” state of half-death who wake to find a prince who if eager to carry them off. This can lead to negative psychological effects on young girls as they are growing up, creating a large amount of pressure and low self-esteem due to the beauty that these stories portray and maintaining restrictions that these women experience in the stories. While it is true that Sleeping Beauty and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves are considered Disney classics that entertain children and provide meaningful role models, it is evident that the true, vulgar nature of these tales are hidden; these stories are about women who are thrown away.

    While Catherine Breillat’s “Sleeping Beauty” does stay true to the original Brother’s Grimm tale in its archetype, she does stray from the original version in many ways in order to convey a message. In comparison to her film “Bluebeard”, “Sleeping Beauty” was much more explicit, with graphic sexual scenes. Additionally, this tale is different in that the main character is not the dainty frail princess we usually see in classic fairytales, but a tomboy who wants to referred to as “Vladmir” and has sexual encounters with another woman. Breillat contrasts the lesbian sex scene where Anastasia is laughing and enjoying herself with her having sex with Peter where she cries throughout it and puts her face down in a pillow after it is done.

  • Violence In Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood, And Cinderella

    425 Words  | 1 Pages

    One similarity between fairy tales is the presence of violence most notably in Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Grimm’s version of Cinderella. Sleeping beauty shows a dragon being decapitated, Little Red Riding Hood sees a wolf eating humans then getting his insides ripped open, and Cinderella shows the stepsisters getting their eyes plucked out. The majority of fairy tales are heartwarming and provide a powerful message, so it is very odd to see violence included within them as well. It is worth noting that the violence is, for the most part, ignored by the readers. This is probably ignored because the reader is distracted by a number of others things with the story elements and plot. For example, in the Grimm’s version of

    The fairytale The Beauty and the Beast is illustrated as a love story, however when looking deeper into Belle’s nature it seems to be that she is affected by several disorders throughout the film. In Beauty and the Beast, we see Disney once again sugarcoat personal problems in order to present a young audience with a one dimensional and simple female hero. Belle has clearly shown symptoms of Schizoid Personality Disorder, Stockholm Syndrome and Schizophrenia which can be treated by a biological therapeutic approach or a psychoactive drug approach and therapy.

    Similar to the above conversation, one must take these tales with a grain of salt, and keep in mind the time period in which they were written. For the purpose of this paper, the focus will only be on what the tale is striving to teach those who read it. Similar to Lurie’s opinion on “The Light Princess,” readers of “Sleeping Beauty” may come away from the story thinking the best was to grow up or be helped is to fall in love; let the man (prince) solve the problem (Lurie 360). This thought is further echoed by Martin Hallett and Barbara Karasek, the authors of “Folk and Fairy Tales,” as they describe the story “as a metaphor for growing up: the heroine falls asleep as a naïve girl and awakens as a mature young woman on the threshold of marriage”

    In the “Beauty and the Beast” by Madame Leprince de Beaumont she talks in her fairy tale how money was very important for the characters within the story. She also talks about how people could fall in love with another and that it does not matter if a person is not a good looking person that their feelings were more important. In my new adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast”. I put the character of the Beast from Madame’s fairy tale in my adaptation he is a man because I want to show how a good looking man can be a bad person and that it does not matter how you look outside. In my adaptation I also change Beauty to Bonita, and I show how a woman can be different than the others in the way of the things that they like to do. Bonita prefers to

The most interesting stories to me are Snow White by Brother Grimm and Ever After: A Cinderella Story directed by Andy Tennant based on Cinderella by Charles Perrault. There are many different versions of Snow White and Cinderella from numerous cultures. In every version, both stories are known as children bedtime stories. In addition, the purpose of both stories is to give a life lesson to the children about overcoming evil to attain happiness. At first, every fairy tale has to deal with evil that threatens the protagonist, but in the end, good must always win. In the same way, both of the fairy tales have a similar scenario of a character

    Beauty and the Beast is probably one of the most well known fairy tales that the Grimms’ reproduced. In it’s original form it was a long, drawn out story that was catered to adults. The Grimms’ changed the story to be more understood by children and made it short and to the point. Unlike many of the other fairy tales that they reproduced, Beauty and the Beast contains many subtle symbols in its purest form. It shows a girl and how she transfers to a woman; it also shows that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The one major thing that separates this story from all the rest is that Beauty gets to know the Beast before marrying him.

It is a story of a greedy manipulative turtle who tricks a flock of birds out of their feast in the sky, but he soon learns his lesson when the birds take away their feathers and he is forced to jump back to earth thus shattering his smooth shell.
