Beauty and love are two essential qualities which every human needs in his or her life. In their fairy tale “Rapunzel,” the Brothers Grimm show that such wonderful gifts should not be hidden away from the world.
As a husband and wife expectantly await the arrival of their long-wished for child, the wife looks out their window into the garden next door. A high wall protects this garden, which belongs to a dreaded enchantress. Nevertheless, the wife sees a rampion plant, also known as rapunzel, in the garden and begins craving it.
