Rapunzel was trapped in a tower and eventually saved by the prince after he climbed to the top by her hair. Cinderella was magically transformed from a servant for her horrid step-family to a princess dancing the night away with her prince at the ball. We all know the classic Disney story of the damsel in distress: after considerable toil, she is rescued by the handsome prince and living happily ever after.
