The ritual of rejuvenation or beautification Fair is an English word associated with beauty, and it keeps the connection between light-colored hair and good qualities, like kindness and beauty. The name of the princess Īlternate translations to the name of the tale are Princess Goldenhair, The Fair with Golden Hair The Fair Maid with Golden Locks, or Fair Goldilocks. The heroine's lack of agency has been noticed and called into question: despite being part of Madame d'Aulnoy's cast of heroines and princesses with agency in her literary fairy tales, Princess Goldilocks still needs the intervention of a third party (the loyal ambassador) in order to ensure her happy ending at the end of the tale. At the beginning of the story, the hero finds some shiny objects in his way (a shining feather or a shining lock of hair), but his talking horse warns him against it. Īccording to French folklorist Paul Delarue, the tale type ATU 531 is known in French academia as La Belle aux Cheveux d'Or, after d'Aulnoy's tale. The Aarne–Thompson–Uther tales types ATU 530, 531 ( The Clever Horse) and 533 ( The Speaking Horsehead) fall under the umbrella of Supernatural Helper in the folk/fairy tale index and pertain to a cycle of stories in which a magical horse helps the hero or heroine by giving advice and/or instructing him/her. A maid had broken that bottle, though, and replaced it with another, not knowing the other bottle was actually a potent poison used for executing nobles by rubbing their faces with it.įrisk came to the queen and asked her not to forget Charming, and the queen immediately released him and married him.Īnalysis The horse helper When Goldilocks begged for his freedom, the king refused, but decided to rub his face with the water from the Fountain of Health and Beauty to please her. Goldilocks married the king but remained fond of Charming, and Charming's enemies told the king that she praised him so highly, he should be jealous. Charming refused to be disloyal to his king. The princess agreed then and made preparations to go and marry the king, although she at times wished they could stay, and she would marry Charming. Goldilocks refused unless he brought her some water from the Fountain of Health and Beauty, and the owl fetched the water for him. He went to fight it, and with the raven's aid in pecking the giant's eyes during the fight, he succeeded. She could not listen unless he killed the giant.
When he brought it to Goldilocks, she told him that a giant who was a prince had tried to marry her and was troubling her subjects. His dog, Frisk, advised him to try, and the carp brought him the ring. When he attempted to bring his master's suit before the princess, she told him that she had lost a ring in the river and was so vexed that she would not listen to any suit unless the ambassador brought back her ring. On the way, he helped a carp that was out of water, a raven being chased by an eagle, and an owl caught in a net each one promised to help him. Charming said that he would have drawn such a picture of the king as to make him irresistible to her, and the king decided to send him. He lamented his fate, and the king, hearing, told him what he had said was the cause of it. A young courtier and royal favorite, called Charming, told his friends that if he had gone, she would have accepted, and the king threw him in prison. A neighboring king fell in love with her from her description, but much to the king's disappointment, she rejected his ambassador, saying she had no wish to be married.
