II. Reaction
1. Imagery
Ostensibly,the story is the tale of a young girl,locked up in a tower by a wicked witch,the real concern of the story,however,being lust and the dangers it represents to girls as they enter the rites of passage of puberty.Symbolism pervades the story,as in all fairy tales,giving rise to diverse interpretations.
2. Theme
The story of theme is selfish love is destructive.And one of the most enduring themes is that of a parent wanting to safeguard their child from all harm but doing harm to them in the process.She was locked up to keep her safe but wasn't allowed to experience all of the joys that life has to offer.It's really excellent because it explains the themes and symbolism of the tale, which include perseverance and love.
3. Protagonist
Rapunzel is a hero.She was locked in a high tower.The only person whom she ever saw was the wicked witch.One day, a prince was passing by and heard her sing.He fell in love with her voice and unknown to all came to the tower every day to hear her sing.
4. General opinion
I think the story is perseverance story of Rapunzel and a prince.And when you love someone enough, you are willing to do anything, and you are willing to sacrifice everything.When your love for someone is strong enough, nothing will be able to get in the way.In the end, true love with always win.
