Similarities

In all three stories the gifts that are bestowed upon the princess are all desirable character traits for a woman> they are all things men would desire in woman > both the original and most famous versions are written by men, so these traits could be what men would desire in their perfect girl during that time.
A similarity of all three is that as soon as the prince and princess look into each other’s eyes they fall instantly in love, this enforces the theme of especially the most popular and movie version that true love has utter faith and never questions itself.

Differences

In the original, ironically, the prince does not infact wake up the princess but is rather beside her when she wakes up> whereas in the Grimm and Disney version the prince is the one to save her. …show more content…
But in the Charles Perrault and the Grimm’s versions things are more tragic and in a way more realistic.
In the original version, the fairy was the one to put the castle to sleep, they didn’t just fall asleep like in the other versions> one reason for this could be because the moral of the original is about love but not so much the love of the prince but the love of the fairy> she was the one to save the princess and also was the one who put everyone she loves asleep so they could be with the princess at her

    Disney's Maleficent Goes Against The Pre-Modern Stereotypes Of Evil

    A slightly different version of the old fairytale, Sleeping Beauty, Disney’s Maleficent tells the story of a young fairy in a forest kingdom that is protecting the land from an invading army. As the young fairy grows up she comes across a human friend named Stefan. Maleficent’s wings are stolen and she is betrayed by her friend in return for being king.

    The significance about the similarities depends on who is writing the story and depends on the where it is being written as well. Naturally it is an Italian folk tale, so it has some differences compared to the other tales that were written. The purpose of the fairy-folk tales in the Oral Tradition, was to pass on stories to your children to both entertain them and for them to pass on to their Children. To use a clear example of an Oral Tradition is to connect to with…

    Princess Bride Comparison

    Stories and fairytales play a role in a person’s lives from the time the young age of reading stories every night before bed to adulthood when reading is a rare pleasure. If written well, a story captures a person’s mind and imagination. Every character, place, and adventure is pictured, making it feel as if the reader lived it with a character. After the success of a novel in bookstores, many novels transform from pages in a book to actors on the silver screen. Often, the portrayal of the movie differs greatly from the ideas of the characters and adventures readers pictured in their head.…

    Fairy Tales: The Princess Bride By William Goldman

    The Princess Bride is different from other fairy tales because, you have the giant, Fezzik which in all reality he is just a human with extra strength and extra size. When you look at other Fairy Tales that have giants they really don't resemble large humans and if they do they are usually ugly. I did not like how William Goldman added in his notations, most fairy tales will not have those in them. While reading the book I would get confused and have to go back before William Goldman's notations so I could understand what was going on in the book.…

    Beauty And The Beast: Bellinda E-Mostro By Italo Calvino

    In both stories Belle was very kind, and was not materialistic; however her father insisted that he get her something while on his trip, so Belle asked for a rose. This sets up the next similarity in the story, because Belle wanted nothing more than a rose, and her father was in the castle, he was captured by Beast for getting caught stealing a rose. Once the father was caught, he tells Beast about his daughter in the Italian version, and in the American version Belle goes to find him. This leads to Belle taking her father's place in the Beast’s castle, in both stories Belle holds resentment towards Beast in the beginning. Ultimately Belle does fall in love with Beast and he is restored to the Prince/ horseman…

    Compare And Contrast The Grimm Brothers Versions Of Cinderella

    Perrault version of Cinderella Vs the Grimm brothers’ version of Cinderella. “Fairy tale” is the term also used to describe something containing unusual happiness, like “fairy tale ending” a happing ending, or “fairy tale romance”, though not all fairy tales have a happy ending. According to Arthur Schlesinger, classical tales “tell children what they unconsciously know-that human nature is not innately good, that conflict is real, that life is harsh before it is, happy-and thereby reassure them about their own fears and their own sense of self” (229). Despite the fact that both Perrault and the Grimm brothers versions of Cinderella are fundamentally similar to each other, but the differences between them show two different moral universes.…

    Hansel And Gretel Analysis

    Charles Perrault’s “Little Red Riding Hood” and Brothers Grimm’s “Hansel and Gretel” are two well-known fairytales in today’s society. Both tales incorporate the key literary elements that define a typical fairy tale. The significance in these specific elements comes from the effect they have on the plot and the consequential moral of the tale. Although “Little Red Riding Hood and “Hansel and Gretel” are two texts with distinct differences regarding their plots, the characters, setting, and themes incorporated into both respective tales relate closely to each other. These similarities largely identify the shared intention of the fairy tale authors for creating their individual tale and the significance of the certain themes and morals that…

    The setting was so important with the plot of the two stories because it caught the readers or viewers eyes and intrigued and also introduced them to the story.

    The Importance Of Expectations Of Love In Fairy Tales

    Throughout fairy tales, the expectations of beauty and romance that are woven into the story are absorbed by the children viewing them. Children pick up on these ideals and quite often try to translate them into reality. Fairy tales, such as the one’s produced by Disney, often contain a magical romance with characters as magically beautiful as their love. However, these high expectations of love, beauty and happiness are unobtainable in our everyday world and leave children disheartened that their expectations of their body-image and love have not attained these unreasonable standards as they grow older. These expectations of body image, love, and happiness stem from infeasible beauty standards, magical romance, and living happily ever after…
