The Enchanted Prince intrigued for many reasons. So, in short a witch curses a prince, but the destiny of the curse was what is unique to me. The prince gets turned into a monkey for marrying another girl than the witch he was in love with. The witch he was in love with was the daughter of the king's arch enemy Queen witch. The young witch the prince was in love with is the one who turned him into a monkey for five centuries until a girl falls in love with him to break the spell.That last part was so interesting to me because most people would not even offer a way out from hatred and anger towards someone after a situation like that. So, the witch still cared about her prince and wanted him to be happy. That is amazing to me and what true love is all about. True love is loving someone even when they've wronged you.
The Monkey and the Turtle was intriguing because how easily it was for someone to write it. The monkey and turtle become great enemies and the monkey dies in the end. This kind of hatred does not sit well with me and kind of makes me cringe that someone could just come up with this idea so easily.
These stories feel like they were written to send a moral message, not just to entertain. In movies its expected to see things like this to portray reality. This story I think shows what happens if you do not reconcile with people period as a warning. I didn't expect to see something like this in the story. How its different from other entertainment to me is that it felt personal. I feel like someone didn't get along with someone and wrote this as an outlet to purge emotion. Hatred builds and relationships are broken. It was very sad and its important to be accountable to your actions.
