She was kept hostage until she fell in love with a prince, who overheard Gothel's request, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down thy hair." Rapunzel was then kept away from the rest of the world. Gothel had taken the daughter of the parents who were stealing from her rampion garden. This fairy tale is set around the tower of Gothel, an enchantress. I have begun a fairy tale themed series, and I am starting it off with a review of Rapunzel by the Brothers Grimm. Towering over, \\ took away what one loves most, \\ removed from the world.
