Her desire to view the world from a place other than her window is a transformation (a bit exaggerated, but essentially true) that everyone must go through as they progress from a child to an adult. What I wish to analyze are the trials and tribulations of searching for one’s dreams–how Rapunzel was blithely unaware of her confined situation until she realized her dream to find herself. Flynn and Rapunzel strike a deal (which I will not ruin) and, soon, they are off. It is not until Flynn Ryder scales Rapunzel’s tower to escape men chasing him that Rapunzel encounters her first human being other than Gothel. Ignorant of her own ability to escape her mother’s wrath, Rapunzel is left helpless in her cage. Outraged, Gothel replies no, stressing the dangers of the outside world. Her intuition tells her that they are for her, and she asks her “mother” to let her see them this year.

However, on every past birthday she has seen a colossal amount of lanterns floating in the sky.

At the start of the film, Rapunzel is soon turning 18, and, up until now, has never been out of her tower. Tangled is essentially the story of Rapunzel, a young girl with healing powers, who was kidnapped as a baby by Mother Gothel out of desire to remain young and beautiful. I would like to write my Rhetorical Analysis Essay on the movie Tangled–or at least one portion of it. This post will reflect the jumbled thoughts bouncing around in my head.
