During both sections, the crone retells the Perrault’s version of Sleeping Beauty to Briar Rose. As the crone continues with the story, she adds and takes details out of the story, adjusting it for her audience, Briar Rose, causing the story to feel “vaguely reassuring...[but] unlike a happy ending” (Coover 13).
