Tangled is a well-known German fairy tale collected by The Brothers Grimm in 1812. It tells the story of a girl who was imprisoned by a witch at a young age in a tall tower. Rapunzel would open the window to sing every day and she would let her hair fall to the ground when she heard the witch say: "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair." The prince and Rapunzel were attacked when the witch discovered that Rapunzel met the prince privately. Luckily, the two lived together happily at the end of the story.

Over the centuries, Tangled has undergone several revisions. The animated version adapted by Disney in 2011 has lively characters and rich storylines that meet the perception of audiences of all ages, including children. The story of Tangled was inspired by Saint Barbara, a Christian saint and martyr in the Roman Empire in the 3rd century. Saint. Barbara was born in a place called Nicomedia (now Turkey) in the 3rd century. Saint. Barbara’s father, Dioscorus, was a wealthy businessman who knew that his pretty daughter could bring him a bigger wealth. He imprisoned his pretty daughter in a tall tower and he laid down a rule that all men must get his consent before they can see Saint. Barbara.

For this reason, Saint Barbara strongly demanded to restore her freedom and the right to choose her husband. He hired people to deliver daily meals and daily necessities, as well as to repair the tower. One day, Saint Barbara received a book explaining Christianity. At that time, the Romans did not welcome Christianity. After reading it, Saint Barbara seemed to be enlightened by God. When the maintenance workers came, Saint Barbara asked to build one more window, because each one represented 'Father, Son, and Holy Spirit'. This showed Saint. Barbara's determination to become a Christian.

After Dioscorus returned home, he found that her daughter had committed herself to Christianity. He was furious and was brutally tortured – beaten with ropes, had her breasts cut off, and paraded naked through the city – before she was beheaded. No matter how insulting Saint Barbara suffered, she was unwilling to give up her beliefs. Although the story is inspired by sad and inspirational historical deeds, the adapted version of the Tangled story by Disney is indeed happier and worth watching too.
