RE: ADSactly Literature - The Hidden Meaning of Sleeping Beauty

in #literature6 years ago

Greetings, @honeydue, the story of Sleeping Beauty is one of those childhood stories almost obligatory reading for all girls and that at that age only allows you to get to understand the beautiful and romantic story that is told. The arrival of a Prince Charming who comes with a kiss of love to undo the spell is the idea that persists and so many women go through life thinking and looking for that Prince Charming. The analysis that you have done is precise and deepens the meaning of some elements that appear in the plot and that have to do with the overprotection of parents, initiation to sexuality, among others. I have also read that feminist critics approach the character of Sleeping Beauty as a symbol of that beautiful and passive woman who is attentive to a man finding her and waking her up and for this reason feels his owner, thus undermining the rights he has as an independent human being. Analyzing these fairy stories gives for many interpretations, your exercise has been very interesting and I liked it. Thanks to you @honeydue and @adsactly for sharing this publication. Happy day!
