First I thought that Rapunzel was Elsa.

I also agree, including my comment on the alcoholism section, considering also that none of this life problems, causes their worst effects isolated, but come together as scrouge like alcoholism and domestic violence, drug abuse and rape, suicide and heroin, etc. By the other hand I wouldn't blame the models for the lack of realism; I belive that subject is responsability of the director of fotography.

According to Wikipedia in earlier folk versions and the first version that is attributed to an author (Giambattista Basile) in the year 1634 or 1636 the sleeping beauty was impregnated in her sleep, so you are right. However, when the king that impregnated her returns later to see her, they start bonding, and at the end of the fairy tale they marry and live happily ever after. Yes, according to modern standards she was raped. No, I don't think it is adequate to project a folk/fairy tale as it was told 400-500 years ago to the present and spoil a beautiful story - especially since already in 1695 frech poet Charles Perrault changed the story and the sleeping beauty is awoken by a kiss - later versions, for example by the brothers Grimm, and of course Disney, are the same.

Ah, are you sure she wasn't just asking for it? Being she was a mythic tale from 15th century France, I think she was.

I took a class on The Grimm fairytales . These stories have details that we would associate with horror movies more than we would associate with modern fairytales. These stories were scary and raw for entertaining around the hearth on cold rainy nights. "Hansel and Gretel" is about a cannibal. "Bluebeard" is about a serial killer and in "Cinderella" the stepsisters chop off parts of their feet in an attempt to fit into that shoe! This photo series is spot on.Well done.
