@@respectmysarcasm4133 A vast majority of their stories follow the standard fairy tale type, which usually involves a "damsel in distress" I think we can just chalk it up to 19th century story telling standards

[@blondeyesbluehair]

@@respectmysarcasm4133 I do not recognize the happy ending part. I have a translation of the first draft, which is actually the folk tales and not the children's fairy tales. The brothers Grimm had first set out to just record folk tales told by german speaking countries and provinces. All later edits and editions were because one of the brothers wanted to make them into child "friendly" fairy tales and cash in on the stories. The other brother saw himself more as a historian and refused to participate in the editing and tried to prevent new editions from happening. He failed. If I get close to the book again, I'll look up the tale of rapunzel. What I do remember of that story, is that is has been said to being told in different ways by different people and the grimm brothers decided on the clothes shrinking one.

Ya that's where I first heard the Rapunzel story from, I forgot how accurate to the originals they were though.

[@mobardly]

Soo... Basically Rapunzul has magical tears that cure blindness?

[@TimidIzzy]

In the story the reasoning is that the thorns don't gauge his eyes out. The thorns stay in his eyes, damaging them and making him blind. When Rapunzel cries, her tears fall into his eyes and wash the thorns out, restoring his eyesight.

[@avivastudios2311]

This idea was used in the film Tangled. The difference is it makes no sense in the original story.

[@Baccatube79]

Botanists to the fore: the rampion bellflower (Campanula rapunculus, in German: Rapunzelglockenblume) has edible roots. Brothers Grimm apparently still knew that in the early Middle Ages, these roots were a common dish and the flowers were therefore cultivated. In the picture book of my childhood, the eponymous plants in the witch's garden were lamb lettuce which in German sometimes is also called Rapunzel. It always bothered me that the woman craved for something so much that literally grows everywhere - with the knowledge that she didn't crave lamb lettuce but that culture plant, I am all the wiser. Thank you, Jon Solo

[@Fledhyris]

Although Rapunzel (rampion) also grows pretty much everywhere, or at least was commonly cultivated back then, so I think the implication is just that the witch grew really good ones - of whatever it was! - and the greedy mother just wouldn't settle for anything less, but had to have her poor husband go steal from the neighbourhood witch.

[@fuchsregen4794]

A bit late - but for those interested - Rapunzel is the german name of the plant the mother was craving. So the witch named the baby after the craving her real mother had. Ask your mom what her pregnancy craving was and thank her for giving you a different name :D

[@lindamazule2289]

And that is how I realised that Latvians translated the german version, with just changing the plants - in latvian edittion she was callled Salātlapiņa - Salad leaf, and the wich named the kid after the plant her mother was craving! I guess it has much to do with the german influenze on our country, but still.... And, another funny thing - in my childhood i read H.K.Anderson and brothers Grimm, and only afterwards I discovered the Disney movies based on them, and always wandered - why are they so tame in theese movies? 😅

[@fuchsregen4794]

@@lindamazule2289 That is a quite accurate translation. Rapunzel is the "old fashioned" name for a specific salad. I do not think the younger generation even knows that, it has a different name now. In english its called corn salad. Imagine Disney would have called Rapunzel "Corn Salad" 🤣

[@ciahalicooo]

Also at 14, she was already halfway through her lifespan. And child marriage was also common because it would prevent having sex and getting pregnant out of wedlock. They were also common because if a baby was born out of wedlock, it would not be allowed to attend church, be buried on church grounds and would be condemned to hell. So yeah there were valid reasons (I guess in those times) for why they did what they did.

[@lovetolovefairytales]

Actually, no. I think Donna Jo Napoli's retellings are the best, followed by Alex Flinn. Zel and Towering were both better written and more mythical in scope. Cress has some amazing creative touches but so much of the writing isn't on par with what it builds up. Reading Cress felt like reading an early draft of something rather than a polished novel. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed Cress and found it wildly creative it was just missing something. The number one Rapunzel retelling I've ever come across is called Bitter Greens. It's a brilliant take on how the original author (the French woman who wrote an earlier version of the tale called Persinette) might have first heard the story. Its the only version I've ever heard of giving a logical reason Rapunzel had such a beautiful singing voice and why it led the prince to her. Also if you fancy Christian fiction The Golden Braid is a pretty good Rapunzel story too.

[@jenngriffith5746]

I read the Lunar Chronicles, but never realized how much of Cress had easter eggs from the original Rapunzel fairytale, because I never knew it. Thank you for making this connection; my mind is blown!

Meridas messed up origins?

[@radiofiendify]

Bad writing

[@lillianle5289]

wait didn't her mother crave lettuce? the name rapunzel means lettuce

[@Ava-ks4yn]

Lillian Le rapunzel is another name for rampian

[@KiaraKitsune]

Rapunzel is the german name for rampian, which is a type of lettuce

[@meganpierce9977]

You should look up the original “Into the Woods”. The movie is good, but the play is closer to the original stories and manages to intertwine many well known fairy tails.

[@jeffreygao3956]

Now that's a fairy tale crossover I can get behind!

[@libbywood3853]

I thought everyone already knew this story I did

[@piamishelle]

Into the woods basically kept to the story

[@SugaryOats]

6:50 "unfortunately he survives"

[@mae1722]

When he said Jon Solo I immediately thought of star wars

[@Cat-tg8nk]

hahaha

[@mememistress927]

So did all of us youre not special tf

[@kincaidmccawley8245]

I think he is one of Han Solos bastard sons

[@Igneeka]

I'm pretty sure that's the point

[@jasminesanchez7098]

There's a graphic novel of the original story, I've read it and some of the pictures are creepy.

[@girlwiththeblackhoodie1535]

What's the book? I like creepy &Chris's things. Lol.

[@christinejoycesanvictores1589]

Jon Solo you are so amazing in telling the stories like it should be. I’m glad to hear them from someone who cares about the details of a true origin. The comparison makes sense in so many ways. I hope you can continue to make videos like this. Cheers to a wonderful 2019.

[@milesrosser2452]

That roast on his grandma though 😹🤪😋😛😝😜

[@flafflethewaffle7658]

Have you seen into the woods if not you need to!

[@adriannawalton9425]

Landon Miller Cinderella orgin was so connected to it.

[@xlabratx5729]

I watched around twenty minutes of it before both boredom and cringe made me stop :(

[@azadalamiq]

xLabRATx have you never seen a true stage musical? into the woods is an adult fantasy musical.

[@angelxskyy]

This was also in Into the Woods...Talk about accuracy

[@MrY2KWA]

Gustavothegoose ! I was gonna say the same thing. I think because Into the Woods is a conglomeration of fairy tales, using a variation of the plot of Rapunzel was purposeful.

[@theintelligentzombie9949]

I just realized that she got pregnant at 14.... Also, I dunno why, but I slightly like the original better

[@SonsOfLorgar]

Kathy Morgan yeah, early teen marriages were not uncommon in medieval and early reneissance Europe. It was the easiest way to keep horny teens from getting excommunicated or otherwise draconically punished by the church for "whoring" (which at the time meant intercourse and/or procreation out of wedlock) A child born out of wedlock also couldn't get baptized or take part of communion and could not be buried in consecrated soil and was thus barred from heaven in the afterlife according to church dogma. The key here is 'born' which leaves a 4-8 month window of opportunity to marry the two unfortunates and avoid a social disaster.

[@orokanaangel9907]

Well I mean..people lived till 30 back then..

[@toxiclightning5303]

She was 16 because it happened 2 years after she got locked in the tower

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

+Toxic Lightning No, go back and watch what he said, she was 12 when first locked in the tower. Met the Prince 2 years later, she was 14.

[@RAVIOLl]

I like your pf pic

[@CEAsfg]

I thought that in one of the stories, the prince climbs to the top only to encounter the witch suddenly as she tells of Rapunzel’s fate in the desert. He gets frightened by the witch appearing in his face and looses his grip and then falls off the tower into the thorn bush.

[@solileahwoodly3155]

Rapunzel during labor: "OKAY SO NOW THERES ANOTHER ONE!?!?!?!?" *a few moments later* (Spongebob narrator voice) "Oh hey babe these are your children and I'm just heal your eyes real quick, yk, since my hair extensions are gone!"

[@sewcat6486]

The power of 20-20 visuals

[@adumlarp999]

I read the story of Rapunzel when I was a kid. When Tangled was coming out I wondered how they were going to change it, cause I figured there was no way they were going to have the prince's eyes gouged out. Have to say, I rather enjoyed what they did with it. Tangled is a really fun movie.

[@ArtistGirlM]

I’m really enjoying this series - I always enjoy seeing people’s reactions to the original stories/folklore. Would you ever consider discussing more than just one version of some of these tales? (e.g. there’s some more plot to the Basile version of this story that I enjoy).

[@annaeades1654]

0:07 And his name is JOHN Solo

[@sophw8780]

Just had a trip down memory lane! I remember reading this story as a kid.. and the pictures in the book with it too...

[@lilmissashes2661]

i waited for this so long i love these!I watch these on My other channel!

[@bonbonthebest6372]

Awsome do u think u can find snow white or beauty and the beast? But if u cant that's fine love ur vids

[@lucapeyrefitte6899]

bonbondabest m well he can talk about the original book of beauty and the beast

[@Sp3ctreNova]

he already did snow white

[@itiscrazey]

2:44 FunFact: the german word for Rampion is "Rapunzel" that is why the Witch named her that way

[@SpicyChip10]

Wow I didn’t know that thanks for telling me but than if the witch didn’t even want rapunzel than why would she name her by a flower oh wait I think I understand now😂

[@dasiajb]

I’ve been binge watching these. It’s so therapeutic that it puts me to sleep like a lullaby....

[@vhaeeistargryn]

john: sit back, relax- me: *in online class watching this and has a test rn*

[@ultraluminaryy]

This made me look at Tangled in a different way now.

[@jessicamariotti2844]

How about Peter Pan next

[@prettymommy6579]

Yes good one

[@Luna_Spiritus]

You NEED to watch "Fractured Fairy Tales"

[@PeriwinkleB]

Thank you for this! I appreciate the fact that a lot of detail and effort was put into this. You didn’t lead us into a boring documentary but got straight to the point, cool video! 😀

[@princ3ssMusicifiy]

I love your videos sooo much. Every time I click on one I get addicted and it’s suddenly a marathon.

[@laura1443]

I learned all this from Fractured Fairy Tales via Rocky & Bullwinkle. 😊

[@vannahedits]

i know a lot of people are not fond of musicals but "Into The Woods" introduces a lot of the true grimm fairytales mixed together including: Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack & The Beanstalk, etc. And i think it was genius of Stephen Sondheim, and i find it really interesting!!

[@couchpotato5245]

Those that look like a kindergartener who hasn't figured out he is left handed ya i get credit for those. MOOD

[@ajayKumarajayKumar-hr7sj]

Jon, I would like to mention that in a version I read, rampion was replaced by lettuce.

[@jenniethrockmorton5660]

As an illustrator I really like the drawing you make. Straight to the point and funny.

[@Skye_IsTheLimit]

7:40 "with the power of 2020 vision" HE SAID IT FIRST lol

[@kalamenco3071]

OMG the witch is the grandma the coach always talks about

[@guidbms]

Dude, this story actually had a happy ending.

[@biochroma]

so.. I looked up rampion because of this video, and I'm pretty sure the disney animation's use of the star-shaped purple flowers was inspired by the flowers of the rampion plant, which I think is pretty cool!

[@dorderre]

Pretty amazing you dug up this old GDR postage stamp, makes me kinda nostalgic ^^
