In The Seven Basic Plots: Why We Tell Stories by Christopher Booker, he explores a particular plot that he titles “Rebirth.” In his words Sleeping Beauty is based on the type of plot we may call “Rebirth.” A hero or heroine falls under a dark spell which eventually traps them in some wintry state, akin to living death: physical or spiritual imprisonment, sleep, sickness or some other form of enchantment. For a long time they languish in this frozen condition. Then a miraculous act of redemption takes place, focused on a particular figure who helps to liberate the hero or heroine from imprisonment. From the depths of darkness they are brought up into glorious light.
