The dialogues in "Rapunzel" and Tangled are very different in quantity. In "Rapunzel", Rapunzel has very little dialogue while in Tangled, she has plenty. Rapunzel's lack of dialogue in "Rapunzel" portrays her as an unthoughtful girl with few ideas and opinions. In Tangled, Rapunzel is full of ideas which often save her from disaster.

In "Rapunzel", Rapunzel is very obedient and when she "[hears] the sorceress's voice, she...[Lets] her hair fall twenty yards to the ground, and the sorceress [climbs] up it" (Grimm Brothers). Rapunzel always does as she is told thereby showing her submissiveness. On the contrary, in Tangled, Rapunzel disobeys the witch and escapes the tower to follow her dreams. Their different approach to similar situations reflects the story's different morals.

Thesis

In "Rapunzel" by the Grimm Brothers, the moral that women should be obedient is evolved in Tangled (2010) by Disney to the moral that women should be ambitious and follow their dreams which directly reflects the values of society at the times the stories were made. These opposing morals are shown through the plot, characters, and dialogue of the two stories.

The opposite morals of "Rapunzel" by the Grimm Brothers and Tangled by Disney are shown through many aspects of the stories. By comparing the plots, characters, and dialogues of the two stories the distinct morals are highlighted and emphasized. In the original version of Rapunzel the moral is that women should be obedient whereas the modern version of Rapunzel values independence and has remade and modified the moral to that woman should pursue their dreams.

In the original version, the character of Rapunzel is developed into a naive girl whose trust is easily manipulated. The author writes, "at first Rapunzel was terribly frightened when a man such as she had never seen before came in to her. However, the prince began talking to her in a very friendly manner...Rapunzel lost her fear" (Grimm Brothers). On the other hand, in the same scene in Tangled, Rapunzel hits the intruder with a pan and traps him in a chair so he can't hurt her. Tangled portrays Rapunzel as a modern women who can take care of herself whereas "Rapunzel" portrays her as a girl who must rely on others.
