In the beginning of the story, the king and a queen were having a Christening for their new-born girl Aurora and invited the whole kingdom expect the evil fairy Maleficent, this shows intuition because you can sense that something bad is going to happen since they didn't invite Maleficent. When the evil fairy hears that she was not invited she becomes outraged and crashes the gathering and curses the young princess.
"Listen well, all of you. The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who meet her. Before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel, and fall into a sleep like death!"
The fairy's were able to change the curse to were Aurora would only fall into deep slumber and well only be woken by a true love's kiss. This shows the sense of magic in the story with fairy godmothers and curses.
With the fear of the curse her parents send away her with the three good fairies to the woods. So Aurora goes escapes the castle and isolated in the woods. As Aurora goes up she begins find the beauty in the woods and often takes walks and wanders around throughout the forest where she meets many friendly creatures and later on Prince Philip who she falls in love instantly .This shows the element of love and nature.
"I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam. you'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream."
When Aurora got cursed and was put into deep sleep, Prince Philip showed individualism when he escaped the jail that the evil fairy put him in and goes to fight Maleficent and breaks the curse. He ends up defeating Maleficent and freeing Aurora and the rest of the kingdom.
"Now, shall you deal with ME, O Prince - and all the powers of HELL!"
Comparing & Contrast:
Sleeping beauty is a lot like the poems we read in class that were from romanticism writers. It included the idea of magic, love, individualism, and nature. It was different because it was more of a fairy tale unlike the poems.
