Rapunzel Book Vs Movie

Brother Grimm's print version of Rapunzel, and Disney's film version of Tangled both send the same message of not giving up, but the film version is more effective in sending the main idea. In the print version of Rapunzel, the love interest of Rapunzel is the prince, who is too naïve and listens to what Rapunzel says, without questioning her decisions. He is curious at first about Rapunzel, and then when he meets her, he falls in love instantly. This leads to the loss of his sense of sight, taken by Gothel, who had found out about the prince from Rapunzel a few moments before. However, the love interest of Rapunzel in the film version, Eugene, is seen as a more cunning individual. He deceives people at first, but as time goes on, he realizes his feelings for Rapunzel, and helps her follow her
In the movie version, the King and Queen, as well as the Kingdom, have attempted many times to find Rapunzel, such as the floating lanterns that are sent out every year on Rapunzel's birthday. This helps send the message because it shows that the King and Queen truly care about Rapunzel and worry about her. Here, the movie version of the Kingdom is more effective in sending the message because there is effort put into finding Rapunzel, while in the printed version, there is not a single attempt at finding Rapunzel. Lastly, the character of Rapunzel herself in the film version is also very naïve, and quite stupid. She falls in love with the prince at first sight, and agrees on marrying him. She also causes her own downfall and indirectly harms the prince by telling Gothel about the prince visiting the tower secretly. This is not effective in sending the message because Rapunzel makes no attempts to go against Gothel, she gives up almost instantly. In the movie version, the character of Rapunzel is courageous, and follows her dream to see the lanterns even though she was not allowed
