She is not willing to satisfy her urges through other things. She is endangering her health and the health of the unborn child with her behavior. Once again the woman is selfish and demanding behavior. She cares more about getting what she can not have than she does about the well being of her child. The husband fearful for his wife and unborn child, is willing to do anything for them. He becomes a thief to satisfy his wife's demands. Unfortunately the woman is not satisfied with her husband's efforts. This creates more problems for her long suffering husband as she demands more rampion. The man will do anything to please the women of his life. Sometimes men do not think with rationale on how this will effect them in the long run. In this tale the debt of the husband will be paid however as punishment for the woman's selfish behavior. The husband at this point feels little choice and wants to protect himself and his wife from the witch and gives up the baby.The man's ability to trade the child with rampion can also be to some point explained since he has not met the child living. He has not created a personal bond with the baby yet. As in all tales the heroin is beautiful. When Rapunzel reached the age of twelve years old is commonly the age of puberty and many parents begin to fear for their daughters' well being and safety. The witch knows that her adopted daughter is no longer a child, but a young woman preparing to enter the adult world. She decides to take her to a high tower. Rapunzel will not be able to contact with anybody . The approach that I got through the Grimm Brothers version was that of the Reader-Response. As many people read this story they can make their own judgements on what really happened with the witch and the couple. As I was reading the story I had a lot of interpretations on how the couple were able to conceive a child or was she already pregnant like in Zelinky's version. I am able to us...
