Briar Rose Response

"She lies alone in her dusty bedchamber atop the morbid bed. Perhaps she has never left it, her body anchored forever here by the pain of the spindle prick, while her disembodied self, from time to time, goes aimlessly astray, drifting through the castle of her childhood, in search of nothing whatsoever, except perhaps distraction from her lonely fears (of the dark, of abandonment, of not knowing who she is, of the death of the world), which gnaw at her ceaselessly like the scurrying rodents beneath her silken chemise "

I chose this quote because i think you really get a good sense of what her life is like. I liked that the first part really related to the classic disney version of sleeping beauty, but then it goes off explaining her life with a twist. I think it does a really good job of enlightening us on how she feels and it brings color to the story.
