In Rapunzel, the Triple Goddess, which can also be seen in Greek mythology, is depicted. The Triple Goddess is historically portrayed as the Crone(elderly woman, Mother and Maiden(virgin). This idea was popularized by Robert Graves in the 20th century. In Rapunzel, the mother and the witch play the other two legs of the Triple Goddess that Rapunzel's father and prince are forced to reckon with. It is no easy task dealing with this "triple threat." When the prince has his virgin alone he is able to show strength and confidence. However, when the witch comes along the prince does not show the same poise and grace.
