Sleeping beauty is fairy tale of a young princess who gets into a century long sleep after she, due to misfortune, touches the needles. In all three fairy tales the antagonist and protagonists are women while the only mans who actively participate in princesses life's are princes who rescue her from the misfortune. I disagree with the question proposed, because it is society’s attitude which shaped this fairy tale.
Nowadays woman’s role is portrayed as a weak human’s who is in desperate need. However, I believe that this is not true. Women always had their own way to impact on the societal issues. Women played a domestic father figure role and in recent years womens are being compared to mans role which makes sexist, feminist concerns.
Sleeping beauty is an old style fairy tale where the pure love and passion fights for the truth and beauty against all the greedy, jealous and evil deeds of wicked weak. Moreover the last scenes in all three poems correlate which reminds the notion that humans should always believe and hope in good. Princesses are seconds away from tormenting death, but their beloved always come at the right time to rescue them. Meanwhile, the cooks attempt to save children from ravenous and jealous evils is attempt to show that goodness always turn out in a positive ways - cooks are granted all worldly pleasures.
