King Stefan and his queen had a daughter named Aurora; one day they had a feast to honor her. There it was decided that Aurora was to marry Prince Phillip some day. Three faeries, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, came and blessed Aurora, but before the third one could bless her the evil witch Maleficent cursed Aurora; she would prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die on her sixteenth birthday. So the third fairy, Merryweather, tried to reverse the curse by only putting Aurora to sleep until true loves first kiss. King Stefan had every spinning wheel in the land burned and Aurora was sent to live with the faeries. They changed her name to Briar Rose and lived live as normal people. On her sixteenth birthday Briar Rose was sent to pick berries, so the faeries could surprise her. While she was out she ran into a handsome young man, who of course was Prince Phillip. She went back to the cottage to tell the faeries that she was in love, they told her that could not be because she was a princess and she was to marry Prince Phillip. So the faeries took Aurora back to her parents castle, but before they could her there safely; Maleficent tricked Aurora into a room with a spinning wheel and pricked her finger. The curse came true, so the faeries decided to put everyone to sleep until the princess was awoken so that no one would be broken hearted. Prince Phillip raced to the tower to rescue his princess, along the way Maleficent sent up many obstacles that Phillip had to overcome. He did this and killed Maleficent and rescued his princess and they lived happily ever after.
This is a classic story of a princess having to be rescued by her prince. You see the evil figure that is in most fairy tales. Many characters would be helpless and sad if it wasn't for the faeries magic. You see many weak female characters throughout the story, the queen is never given an actual name.
