Twisted Fairy Tales~*!
Chapter 3.
Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty

Giambattista Basile, 1634

“As he tried to wake her, she seemed so incredibly lovely that he began to grow hot with lust.”

The Disney film, based on a later version film, based on a later version by Charles Perrault, saw a lovely princess put to sleep when she pricks her finger on a spindle. She sleeps for 100 years, until a prince kisses her and lives happily ever after.

However, in this earlier version by the Italian poet Basile, the king does not wake Talia, the sleeping girl, with a kiss, but rapes her. She gives birth to two children (helpfully attended to by fairies) and one sucks her finger, eliminating the curse. Talia falls in love with the king, but the king’s jealous wife kidnaps their children and orders the cook to kill them and feed them to the king. The jealous queen also threatens to burn Talia to death, but the king has his wife burnt to death instead.

Btw if you're interested there is a gruesome background to The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pinocchio, Snow White, Aladdin and the King of Thieves, Hercules, Pocahontas, Alice and Wonderland, Peter Pan, The Princess and the Frog, and The Lion King. (dang there's a lot)

Yeah most fairy tales were really sexual and he Grimm brothers took out that stuff and made it more gruesome and have more violence. Why do we let out children know these stories
