- Educational Notes
- Sleeping Beauty is the tale of a beautiful princess who pricks her finger on a spindle and, as a result, is cursed to remain asleep for 100 years. All of the events in this story come together to form this storys plot. The story arc of a plot can be broken into five main parts: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. The exposition is the beginning of a story when characters are introduced. Rising action is the actions that lead to the climax, or highest part of the story, when the main conflict of the story comes to ahead. In Sleeping Beauty, rising action includes the princess birth, her receiving gifts from the fairies, and the rest of her life leading up to her 17th birthday. The climax is when the main problem of the story occurs like the princess pricking her finger. After the climax, the falling action happens, which includes her falling asleep and the prince rushing to her side. These actions lead to the storys end and its resolution, which happens when the prince kisses the princess and she wakes up from her sleep.
