Today in Fairy tales and Fables, we have been reading about Rapunzel and its different variations, from the original version to the final edition. Here I have compared the 1812 and the 1857 versions.
Why do you think texts change over time?
I think that the text changes over time to make it more suitable for children.
How come each version of Rapunzel is different, even though they have been written by the same author?
Each version of Rapunzel is different because it is written in different timelines. Old variations were more mature than the Disney variation.
What was the same or different in the two versions you read?
The original version had scenes which aren't appropriate for children. Rapunzel had affairs with the prince and was found out when her stomach became larger.
In the final edition, Rapunzel was found out because she mentions the prince in her conversation with the fairy.
