545 Words3 Pages

With sex trafficking being on a rise, along with different kind of princess stories who do not wander into the woods, I felt it would be appropriate to use a classic tale and modernize Snow White with a common issue today. Princess fairy tales are known for key morals and values for children to understand at an early age. Often these stories would include stories of a princess upset and courageous who begin to leave their home, finding their prince charming just by luck, and living happily ever after without any consequences of their actions.

Castles are all over the world, but everyone has an almost similar image of a brick castle, dark interior full of pictures and images that show the history and age of the castle.

On her sixteenth birthday, Aurora would prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die. Luckily, a good fairy was able to soften the curse and instead of dying, Aurora would fall into a deep sleep, only to be awoken by true love’s kiss and live happily ever after. This fairy tale might seem adoring and kid-friendly, but it was derived from a very horrifying story, in which the princess was woken up by the prince raping her, instead of a loving peck on the lips. The brothers Grimm based their version of Sleeping Beauty off of Perrault’s “Sleeping Beauty in the Wood”.
