Flower, Gleam, and Glow. Let Your Power Shine. Make The Clock Reverse. Bring Back Once Was Mine~

Queen Ariana of Corona got ill during the birth of her child. To help the Queen the kingdom went in search of a magical flower. An old woman named Mother Gothel was also in search of this flower to make her young. The flower was given to the Queen causing Princess Rapunzel to be born with magical hair that could heal wounds and turn people young, knowing that the Princess now has this power Mother Gothel kidnapped her shortly and took her to a tower far away.

In this tower, Mother Gothel raised Rapunzel as her own but told her that she could never leave the tower. If Rapunzel's hair was cut the power died so Mother Gothel let the hair grow incredibly long. Rapunzel understood that but soon began to want to leave because of the lanterns that would be in the sky every year on her birthday. She did not know it was her actual family lighting them for her wishing their little girl would return home one day. On her 18th birthday, Rapunzel asked for one wish to go out and see the lanterns but Mother Gothel tells her no because it is dangerous out in the real world. Meanwhile, a charming they've named Flynn Rider is looking for a place to hide after stealing a crown from the palace and he stumbles on the tower. Mother Gothel was gone and Rapunzel was with her only friend Pascal, a chameleon, when Rider stumbles into the tower. Intrigued by her beauty and her magical hair, Flynn tricks Rapunzel into letting him escape, promising to take her to see the floating lanterns that she has always dreamed of seeing. Together, Rapunzel and Flynn embark on a thrilling adventure, filled with danger, humor, and heartwarming moments. They discover Maximus, a stubborn horse of the Queen's guard who was tracking down Flynn Rider, along the way. As they travel, Rapunzel begins to discover her true identity and the secrets of her past. Mother Gothel, however, is determined to keep Rapunzel under her control and will stop at nothing to get her back. She pursues Rapunzel and Flynn, leading to a climactic confrontation that leads to Flynn cutting Rapunzel's hair (way too short mind you) as she is about to heal his stomach wound, and Mother Gothel falls to her death out of the tower after being tripped by the very hair she treasured deeply. In the end, Rapunzel is reunited with her parents, gets married to Flynn Rider, and lives happily ever after with her family and new friends.

Erikson’s 8 Stages of Psychosocial Development Explained

# data[].attributes.body
Erik Erikson was a German-American psychologist, his wife Joan helped him with his psychosocial development theory and was influenced by Sigmund and Anna Freud after he studied under them in Vienene. Erikson became famous for inventing the phrase "identity crisis". Erik Erikson even managed to be a professor at Harvard and Yale with no bachelor's degree. Erikson's theory has been widely influential and has had a significant impact on the fields of psychology, sociology, and education. His emphasis on the importance of social interactions and relationships, as well as his focus on the lifelong nature of development, has helped to broaden our understanding of human growth and behavior.

Stage 8: Ego Integrity vs. Despair (maturity)

# data[].attributes.body
This stage is maturity, we are inclined to slow down as we get older. At this stage, we ask how we have done. We feel content and integrity if we think we did well. If we feel that we did not do well we become grumpy and bitter. During this time of our life death anxiety is not at its peak like most people would assume it is actually at its peak during younger adulthood. (Pomerantz pg.331) This is ego integrity vs. despair the last stage of Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory and the virtue of this stage is wisdom.

Stage 3: Initiative vs. Guilt

Rapunzel's curiosity about the world outside the tower, such as her desire to see the flying lanterns on her birthday, suggests a sense of initiative. However, Mother Gothel's restrictions might have instilled feelings of guilt or fear of punishment especially after she yelled at her to stop talking about the lanterns because she is never leaving the tower.

Stage 4: Industry vs. Inferiority

Rapunzel's isolation would have limited her opportunities for social interaction and learning which is why she was so anxious when it came to meeting Flynn Rider and anxious when Flynn took her to The Snuggly Duckling (a tavern). It could also explain her anxiety and mood swings when she finally almost left the tower. This might have led to feelings of inferiority or a lack of confidence in her abilities.

Stage 6: Intimacy vs. Isolation

Flynn's developing relationship with Rapunzel reflects his desire for intimacy and connection because he grew up as a lonely poor child. His willingness to sacrifice his freedom for her demonstrates a commitment to a meaningful relationship.

He could have run off and escaped prison and been free but he chose to return to the tower to save Rapunzel from Mother Gothel and he also risked his life because he cut her hair before she could heal his stomach wound.

Discovering her royal heritage and the reason for her captivity propelled her character growth, giving her a sense of purpose and a desire to reclaim her rightful place. When she made this discovery this is when Rapunzel finally fought back against Mother Gothel.

Her encounter with Flynn challenged her sheltered worldview, introduced her to new experiences (going out of the tower and seeing what is outside), and helped her discover her true self.

His interactions with Rapunzel softened his heart, challenged his values, and ultimately led to a transformation from a selfish thief to a caring and selfless individual we see this throughout the movie but especially when they are in the town together dancing.

Rapunzel Identity and Erikson's theory validity 

# data[].attributes.subject
Rapunzel Identity and Erikson's theory validity 

# data[].attributes.body
Rapunzel's identity evolves throughout the movie she at first seems like an isolated girl whose only purpose is to heal Mother Gothel. When she meets Flynn Rider and ventures out of the tower, she starts questioning her identity and even shows her desire for freedom. At the movie's end, she knows she is a princess and with this realization, she becomes a strong independent woman ready to fight for her freedom. Erikson's theory is valid in the case of this movie because Rapunzel's character is all based on her experiences and her trying to find her true self. This theory expresses that how you are raised and treated growing up affects how you view yourself and your identity.

# data[].attributes.body
Erkinson's theory focuses on the fact that a person goes through different stages of psychological development. And in this movie, we experience that as we watch Rapunzel grow from a baby to a young adult. This theory explains Rapinzels development well because it shows how she matures at different stages of the movie. Throughout her life, she is isolated and thinks she can trust the one person she's been around her whole life but as she gets older she begins to question things. She gets more curious and rebellious despite her parental authority going against her. The more complicated things get in the film, she grows into her own person.

Erikson's Theory and Character Experiences

Erikson's Theory and Character Experiences 

# data[].attributes.body
In this film, the idea of freedom and independence is the main point. This is well supported by Erikson's theory because it splits up the developmental processes into different stages. Which can also be translated into different stages in the film. From when Rapunzel thinks about leaving the tower to when she goes against Mother Gothel's rules to when she meets Flynn and then to the end where she discovers herself surrounded by people who support who she is rather than like Mother Gothel who tried to deny it.

# data[].attributes.body
This theory is a good match for the type of psycho-development Rapunzel goes through because it focuses on how Rapunzel matures through her difficulties. If she had never chosen to leave the tower, she would've never become the person she is. Her going through her many issues allowed her to mature. The exposure to someone other than her parental figure and a new environment allowed new ideas to expose themselves. This, according to Erikson's Theory, is supposed to happen as someone matures in age, and their mind matures as well. She goes from believing Mother Gothel "Knows best" to believing in her mind and self and going after what she wants, and in turn, she finds her identity. In the end, she realizes she has to live her life for herself and gain back what was taken away from her as a princess, a daughter, and a young lady.

# data[].attributes.body
Erikson's stages of Psycho-social development translates the development of Rapunzel as an independent young lady almost perfectly. We watched her grow not only in size and age but in maturity and knowlege of the outside world she was kept from all her life. This theory and its stages not only shows us how rapunzel has developed but also allows a depper look into her trials and tribulations and what that made her into.
