Disney Princess Article: Is Aurora literate?

4

posted by Alantlm

(More a "question piece" than an "opinion piece"...commentary will be very helpful for my third and final write-up on Aurora's personality)

I cannot remember if I read this somewhere or if I misread something about Rapunzel who has three books... but Aurora seems to have 2 books?

Now, if this is correct, then I'm so happy! Partly because it supports my belief that she's educated (=obviously literate) well beyond the regular peasant, but also, makes her all the better of a role model which might make her 2nd fav princess now (Sorry Cindy).

Historically speaking (=14th century, 1300s), she is set well before Gutenberg's printing press (=1450s) and thus books would be very rare and very expensive. And not only that but she was probably in one of the least literate demographics: teenage; female; peasant.

And then I just wonder what they are about? Most likely something religious or maybe even some epic/heroic folk poem (like link)?

...So, what do you think that highlighted box is? Have you ever noticed it before? And what do you think if they are, indeed, books!?

angelbarbie20, prussiaducky and 2 others like this

Annabethandco Maybe one of them is her own story. After all, Belle read her own story lots of times.

MacytheStrange Hmm, very unique article idea! Those shapes are almost definitely books, but for all we know they could be Flora's cookbooks or something. And I don't really think it changes much if she does like reading, it wouldn't affect her or the story.

Swanpride Well, I always thought that the fairies gave her a proper education to prepare her for her later duties (not that all nobles or even kings were literate back then).

MacytheStrange ^ Yeah, that makes sense. Even if she couldn't read, I'm sure she was educated.

Jayden-G They are probably here and I never noticed the books. Maybe one of them is the cookbook Fauna was reading, but I highly doubt it.

MacytheStrange ^ Oh yeah, that was Fauna, wasn't it?

Silverrose1991 ^Actually, I think its Merryweather who really cooks there. So, interesting. They're probably fairytales, but maybe one of them is the Bible.

Alantlm [b]Answering who cooks:[/b] Merryweather: But, I never baked a fancy cake. and Merryweather: But [Flora] can't sow, and [Fauna]'s never cooked! -->It seems Merryweather is the one who cooks. [b]@MacytheStrange:[/b] Although this is all speculative, I don’t see why Aurora (or even the fairies) would keep books that are useful and don’t [i]belong[/i] to her there: --I don’t think anything shows she would like/love cooking, unlike maybe Snow or Tiana --Fauna just takes the cookbook from its place in the kitchen/main room. So I think all the cooking related books would be where they are most needed. (I guess the dress book might be in the chest of the fabrics? Btw, I think it’s completely plausible to have just a clothes-making book because most people [i]even up to the Victorian age[/i] made and mended their own clothes) --They are at her bedside (which might indicate importance to her) and she only has two, so I’m sure she would notice its absence. --When Aurora approaches them, they hide the dress book (well, Fauna does). If the fairies wouldn’t want her to know anything, they wouldn’t have taken something she would most likely notice. [b]@Swanpride[/b] That’s what I’m thinking too :) Little girl Aurora was educated in the same ways as a princess. It would explain a lot of her already regal nature, and would make the transition a bit easier. I have to believe one is the Bible or [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_hours]Prayer book[/url]... but the other one? My jovial side wants to say Aesop's fables :P

Alexandra and the sisne (Part 1)

I know that I still have to finish Alexandra and the Princesses and my Rose Red fan-fiction, but back when I did a pick about which fan-fiction you wanted me to write and the majority (apart from those that picked the "None" option) chose Alexandra and the Princesses which was why I started with that fan-fiction, but before I forget this fan-fiction I have to start write this one and yes, it's way madami original than my other and yes, it's a modern Prince and the Pauper mixtured with The sisne Princess (or The sisne Lake). It would be cool if Disney made a movie out of this! So anyways enjoy and...

Dear Diary,
After Auguste's funeral, my family thought it best that I ilipat back home. I didn't fight them on this. Living in that house had too many bad memories. I wanted to be back in my Mother and Father's house, in my old bedroom. It was like my sanctuary. My family made the grieving process easy for me. They gave me my puwang when I needed it, and gave me company when I needed it. It was still a difficult time though. I sunk into a deep depression. That's when my Mother began her research. She wanted to find a way to bring her daughter back to life.

She almost couldn’t believe her eyes. Belle had never had a connection to her Mother before, other than the painting that hung in their small drawing room. She died when Belle was just a baby, so she literally had no memory of her, which was most unfortunate. She took it downstairs and showed it to her Father. “Did you know about this, Papa?” Belle asked. Maurice took the diary and sat down on the sofa. “No, I didn’t. I just always thought it was another one of your Mothers books. She liked to read like you. She even read to you when she was pregnant! A lot of people thought she was...

Rapunzel's reunion - Dawn or Sunset?

posted by IsaacKuo

In the movie Tangled, it's not made obvious whether Rapunzel's reunion with her parents takes place in the morning or afternoon. Analysis of the light and shadows of various morning and afternoon scenes shows that the reunion takes place at dawn, and may imply that Eugene and Rapunzel spend the night in the tower.

7:00 AM, araw 1

Here we see the first shot of the tower after the opening prologue. Rapunzel states it's 7:00 AM. The light comes from the side, and does not directly shine into the door window. The waterfall is in a narrow shadow.

Afternoon, araw 1

This shot is from when Mother...

posted by sweetie-94

A few days nakaraan I made a pick about what the name of Snow White's and Prince's daughter would be and the majority chose Rose Red so I hope you'll enjoy this tagahanga fiction!

If you ever met Rose Red in real life you would be nalugod sa pamamagitan ng her beauty because she had the beauty of her mother, but with her father's eyes. Her hair was long and curly and she was loved sa pamamagitan ng everyone just like her mother, but she had never heard her mother's horrible background story so she thought that no one could be jealous of her beauty. Her mother loved her very much and Rose Red thought that she would never have a better...

I didn’t think I would get to go to the ball.
My stepsisters ripped up my dress after all.
Then out of nowhere my Fairy Godmother appeared.
And she told me not to fear.
She sinabi she would take care of everything.
Then she took out her magic wand, and started to swing.
She made me a beautiful carriage out of a pumpkin!
She looked at me and began to grin.
She transformed my rags into the most beautiful dress I’ve ever seen.
It was so pretty I could’ve passed as a Queen!
I even had shoes made out of glass.
I was ready to go, at last!
She told me it would only last until midnight,
And I told...

30. Sneezy

I was very surprised that Sneezy made to the tuktok 30, and made it past Dopey. I like him, but it annoys me a little that the movie has to stop when he sneezes. Some people find him gross and not memorable at all.

Well, I read other paborito princess artikulo and thought I should make my own. This is my first article. Feel free to express your opinions, but please don't leave mean, nasty comments.

10. Aurora

I don't hate her, and I don't necessarily dislike her personality. But Aurora barely does anything. She basically sang, danced, and cried. Her personality just wasn't that strong. The three mga engkanto were madami enjoyable. So Aurora did nothing to impress me in her whole 18 minutes.

I found her to be a little madami interesting than Aurora. Snow White seemed to have been focused...

Pocahontas' paborito Princess listahan

posted by princesslullaby

This artikulo was written collectively by: Cromulanfav, DreamyGal, & Princesslullaby

To explain: This one is the toughest to write, sa pamamagitan ng far. First of all, Pocahontas wouldn't care about the princesses, certainly not enough to make a list, and she wouldn’t be judgmental of any of them; she'd like them all and would probably be against making a list. Pocahontas really would be neutral to all of them. So it's not in her nature to make a list. But, it's just who we think she'd pag-ibig the most, if she would. We believe at least to Pocahontas, the most important things are a princess following...

When she looked closer, she realized it was a tiny frightened baby rabbit. "Don't worry, I'll look after you," sinabi the princess as she picked up the little rabbit took it inside. Within a few minutes, the rabbit had begun to feel at tahanan and started hopping around the palace. Just then, Snow White look down and noticed her wedding ring was missing.

Not too big of a drop since last round, and honestly not too much of a shock. Tiana's rankings seem to stay on an even plane whenever I do these countdowns, I don't think she's even made is past rank #8.

    The wind furiously blew through the trees. The spirits became angered with the horrid sound of the gunshot.

Untangled, A "Tangled" Oneshot.

Warmth. It was the first feeling that Eugene Fitzherbert had
felt when re-entering the world. It was pleasant, yet oddly
uncomfortable, like it was healing a pain that he could already
no longer feel.

Soon after the warmth went away Eugene realized that
the petite brunette who was sitting in front of him had saved his life.
Saved him from the ultimate demise. Not from death, but a lifetime
as Flynn Rider.

Eugene felt that warmth now, but it wasn't the same. Sweat
dripped from his forehead and fell to the tile on the balcony
of the Corona royal palace. This was the summer sun causing him
the discomfort,...
