Which statement best describes the resolution of “Sleeping Beauty”?

A. Aurora turns 16.

B. The prince rescues Aurora.

C. The Queen throws herself into the pit of reptiles.

D. Maleficent casts a spell.

Answer: B. The prince rescues Aurora.

In the fairy tale “Sleeping Beauty,” the happy ending comes once the prince spots the enchanted Aurora, an innocent beauty who had been placed under the curse of the evil fairy, Maleficent. In the end, after a lot of time that passed for her, the prince’s true love’s kisses prove to be magic – it breaks the enchantment, and Princess Aurora, long asleep, wakes up. This is the crucial event of the prince´s true love’s kiss which will chill the conflict and break the spell to enable the princess and the prince to individually live happily ever after. The other alternatives, for instance, the changing of age from 15 to 16 for Aurora, or Queen’s actions, or the spell initiating from Maleficent are early aspects in the plot but not the complete notion of the ending.
