| Post subject: | Sleeping Beauty -Disney and Brothers Grimm versions |
Similarities - King and Queen want a child. - There's a celebration for the birth of the princess. - Evidently, the curse ends up being a deep sleep in both because one fairy decides to save the princess from death. - All spinning wheels are ordered to be burnt Differences DISNEY VERSION -the princess' name is Aurora -there is a marriage arrangement between Aurora and Prince Phillip -There are 3 good fairies (Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather) who give gifts to the princess -Maleficent was not invited , so she places a curse on Aurora- on her 16th birthday she would prick her finger on a spindle wheel and die -Merryweather is the fairy who manages to change the curse -she will fall into a deep sleep, and be awoken by true love's kiss. -Aurora is hidden into a forest by the three fairies and they ghange her name into Briar Rose. The fairies never tell her about her origins and about her curse. She finds out about it -The princess meets the Prince in the forest -She decides to go back to the castle but she follows a ball of light. It leads her to a spindle where she pricks her finger, and falls into a deep sleep -The prince is captured by Maleficent and kept prisoner. He is saved by the fairies -Maleficent turns herself into a dragon, and surrounds the kingdom with thorns -Prince kills dragon, and wakes Princess with a kiss. BROTHERS GRIMM VERSION -the princess' name is Briar Rose -there is not a marriage arrangement -There are thirteen wise women in the kingdom. All were supposed to be invited to the party, but only twelve were invited -The thirteenth wise woman puts a spell on Briar Rose- she will die at the age of 15 by pricking her finger on a spindle of a spinning wheel. -The 12th wise woman still needed to give a gift to the Princess so she managed to lessen the curse -she would not die but sleep for one hundred years. -Briar Rose is never hidden into the forest, she grows up with her family, the king and the queen -The prince meets the princess after 100 years -On her 15th year she pricks her finger. -The Prince comes across the castle and its inhabitants -The prince and the thirteenth wise woman never meet or fight. Briar Rose is not awaken by a kiss, the 100-year curse comes to an end There is an interesting comparison between three versions of this fairy tale: Charles Perrault, Brtohers Grimms, Walt Disney.
