The real version of Rapunzel is different from the one's that we get to see nowadays for example tangled. In the real fairy-tale version the mother was pregnant when she demanded for a plant to eat named Rapunzel from a witch's garden.

Some archetypes that are in this version of "Rapunzel" are:    The archetype of the hard relationship between a mom and a teenager, as the spoiled Rapunzel is rude and doesn't want to obey the witch, so they start fighting that ends up with a punishment.    The archetype of a "Prince Charming" that is dumb, as the Prince doesn't seem to know some words, such as "blind" and he looks a little clumsy. This version of "Rapunzel" differs from the one of the tale "The Maiden in the Tower" from the Grimm's brothers in the following things:    The witch forces Rapunzel to sing, but in the Grimm's tale Rapunzel loves singing and she spends her days entertaining herself singing the most beautiful songs.    Rapunzel is described as self-centered and that she is always looking at herself in the mirror, but in the Grimm's tale Rapunzel has a selfless attitude and she is not quite aware of the beauty, also, as she has not seen any other person but the witch, she doesn't know ugly people so she doesn't repel them.    The narrator says that there is a door in the tower and that there is no need to use Rapunzel's long hair to get in, but Grimm's tale specifies that the tower where the witch takes Rapunzel is one without a door and that the witch uses Rapunzel's long hair to get in the tower every day.    Rapunzel is asked by the narrator to cry after knowing that the Prince is blind because the book says it as if there would be no need for doing it, in the Grimm's tale the Prince is blind for a long time but when he finally finds Rapunzel, she starts crying and the tears take the Prince's blindness away as a magical effect of love.      Rapunzel is described as a spoiled girl, but in the Grimm's tale it is on the other hand, sweet, kind, and docile with the witch.   The Prince is already blind when he meets Rapunzel, but in Grimm's tale, the Prince gets blind when he falls from the tower when he meets the witch after she tells him that he is never going to see Rapunzel again.   The archetype of a foolish personality of a "blondie" girl, as Rapunzel is blonde she is described as self-centered and not quite intelligent, for example, she is always looking at herself in the mirror, she doesn't want to see anybody that is ugly, and she uses her long hair instead of a door (which in this version exists) for getting in the tower.Explanation:

There are additionally numerous likenesses with shapes and hues that are related to the Molly Bang hypothesis found in the two stories of Rapunzel. The tall shaped-edged corners are the dismiss in the pinnacle of Zelinsky's rendition mirror the sentiment dread, interest, and tension. By making Rapunzel's long hair blonde, the creator needs the gathering, of the people to get away from the sentiment dread and realize that she is a hero in the story.
