Answer: Many people know the old story of Rapunzel. It is a fairy tale that has been told many times, and in different ways. The original German version is much different than the modern Disney version, “Tangled”. However, both stories give an interesting and different Gender perspective. In classic fairy tales the woman is usually in need of rescuing, and the prince is the one who rescues her. In both of these stories the Gender roles are somewhat different, especially in Tangled. Tangled presents different gender roles than most classical fairy tales because, Rapunzel is more independent, does not fall in love immediately, and saves the prince in the end.
