Rhetorical Analysis of Sleeping Beauty Almost everyone is familiar with the story of “Sleeping Beauty”, with a classic ending that prince saved the princess and got married. I would simply believe it’s a happy ending story if I didn’t read another version from Anne Sexton. Her version is so much different due to her unfortunate life, which expressed more on the dark side. Such a story is trying to tell people that a miserable childhood may influence a person a whole life, and it’s nearly…
