Rapunzel: Out of curiosity, did you ever try to talk to your mother, the Witch, about how you wanted to go out? Even with how she acted, and how protective she was, I'm sure if you had talked on more than one occasion, you would have been able to come to some form of a compromise, be it you were allowed out only at certain times, or with her, or something similar to that. –VictoriaXAdam Fan Girl
Dear VictoriaXAdam Fan Girl,
How kind of you to write me. When one lives in a tower, one never receives mail, so this was quite a nice surprise. I'm so excited!
As a matter of fact, I have broached the subject of my leaving the tower to Mother not only once, but multiple times. I am always telling her how I am not a child, how I wish to see the world, and how lonely I am atop my tower. I try to pretend that our little world is perfect, but in reality I have always wanted to see what the world is like outside my tower. I have actually suggested compromises such as those you listed in your note. However, whenever I tried to bring up the subject of my desire for independence, Mother would always change the subject. Sometimes she'd start fussing over my hair, or my beautiful music, other times she would begin ranting about that horribly annoying Baker that she lives next door to. However she did it, Mother always tried to find a way to divert my attention from thoughts of the outside world. Also, sometimes when I pressed the issue of my growing desire to leave my tower, Mother would lecture me about the evils of the world, and how I could easily be hurt out there and she keeps me in the tower for my own good. She would tell me again and again how no one out there could love me more than she did and that there was nothing out there that she could not easily provide. I felt guilty and tried not to wish that I could get out, but I could never help myself. Even before the tower, I was never allowed outside my mother's wall except on rare occasion. I always dreamed that I would see the world, and always promised myself that someday it would happen. However, I highly doubt that my mother would ever let me out of the tower even with supervision or time restrictions.
Please write to me with any more questions you may have, it's so lonely atop this tower!
