This was a mostly traditional version of this classic Fairy Tale, though there were several differences. When the Little Mermaid made her bargain with the Sea Witch she was given a year to try to win the Prince’s heart. If she did not by that time, she would die. Another notable difference concerned the Prince. He didn’t really seem interested in the Little Mermaid at all. He took her in, after finding her on the beach, but in terms of love noting seemed to happen.Finally, at the end, when her sisters come visit her, the night before her year is up they tell the Little Mermaid that if she cuts off the hair of the Princess the Prince fell in love with, and gives it to the Sea Witch, she can live. She refuses, and when the sun dawns on the end of her year three angles come to take the Little Mermaid with them. They tell her she performed good deeds and now she gets to live among them. That, most of all, was a striking difference.It is always interesting to read a new version of a tale you love, even if the differences are subtle. -- source link
