Comments on: Princess Profile ~ Briar Rose, the Sleeping Princess http://princessportal.com/archives/440 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 00:36:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Amber http://princessportal.com/archives/440#comment-4239 Amber Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:30:25 +0000 http://princessportal.com/archives/440#comment-4239 Your analysis is interesting, and I like it. You certainly are right, Sleeping Beauty doesn't seem to have much power of her own or control over her own destiny. I liken Sleeping Beauty to women now a days who think that they must fall in love to wake up to the sleep that has been their lives. I don't discount the power of love, it's something that I too look forward to some day, but there is so much to live for besides that (and in addition to it). I live for writing and drawing. I think a lot of women forget the part of the story where Briar Rose was *living* her life and not sleeping it away. Patience is always a good thing to cultivate. I need to work on that more myself.

I quite agree with the fact that patience is a lesson to be learned. In the end, no matter how silly a story may seem nowadays, there is always a lesson which can be learned from it, don't you think?
