Rapunzel grows up to be a beautiful child with long golden hair. [d] When she turns twelve, the sorceress locks her up in a tower in the middle of the woods, with neither stairs nor a door, and only one room and one window at the top. [e] In order to visit Rapunzel, the sorceress stands at the bottom of the tower and calls out: Rapunzel! Rapunzel!
Rapunzel is a fictional character in Disney's animated film Tangled (2010). Based on the title character from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale of the same name, Rapunzel is a young princess kept unaware of her royal lineage by Mother Gothel, a vain woman who kidnaps her as a baby to hoard her hair's healing powers and remain young forever.
Compare this with a published story that's thematically similar to "Rapunzel," but published in Italy in 1634, and the Grimms' squeamishness is thrown into high relief. In Giambattista Basile's "Petrosinella," the long-locked princess winks at her suitor, and it's acknowledged that the two are "making love" long before they're married.
