![]() ![]() ![]() The narrative perspective is from Rapunzel’s first person point of view which lends us the insight into her character and development through the plots events. It also adds interest for the reader, as when they start reading they think it is just a retelling of the original but then Rapunzel is bald and it is a major twist. This has the effect of showing two types of heroines and adding depth to the story. The use of two Rapunzel’s is fascinating, as one of them is the typical Rapunzel – locked in a tower with long golden hair but called Rue, while the other is called Rapunzel and has the backstory of being given up by her parents after they stole Rapunzel however she is bald. It approaches the tale with the premise of ‘the original is only part of the story, learn the whole truth.’ The prologue states this by saying that while the beginning and end of a story are important the middle is the section which holds the most meaning. Golden is an adaptation of the Rapunzel fairy tale by Cameron Dokey, the main differences between it and the original tale is the perspective, the use of two Rapunzel’s, the portrayal of the mother gothel figure and the backstory. ![]()
