Rapunzel is a story about a girl with very long hair. She was locked in a tower by a witch. A prince heard her singing and climbed her hair to reach her. Eventually, they escaped the witch and lived happily ever after.
There are three main characters in the Rapunzel kids story. Rapunzel, the girl with long hair who was locked in the tower. The witch, who kept Rapunzel captive. And the prince, who came to rescue Rapunzel.
I would say 'Tangled: The Junior Novelization'. It's based on the popular Disney movie that kids love. The story is exciting and the characters are really endearing. It's easy for kids to follow and has lots of pictures from the movie in it too.
Rapunzel in the real story is very brave. Despite being locked in a tower for years, she didn't lose hope and was able to face the challenges when the prince came and when the witch found out about their relationship.
Rapunzel is definitely not true. It belongs to the realm of fantasy and folklore. Tales like Rapunzel are often used to spark the imagination of children and adults alike, but they have no basis in reality.
In the German original, Rapunzel is portrayed as a rather innocent and naïve girl. She has been locked in the tower for a long time, so she is somewhat sheltered. When the prince comes, she is easily charmed and falls in love quickly. Her long hair is not just a physical feature but also a symbol of her captivity and later, her connection to the outside world.
