(Anonymous) 2011-07-31 09:06 am (UTC)(link)But it's ironic you mentioned that. In the original story, mermaids don't have souls. TLM wanted the love of the prince AND a soul, and she would have gotten both if they had kissed and if the prince was in love with her and married her...or, she'd die brokenhearted on the morning of the Prince's honeymoon.
So she actually traded in her tongue (literally) and for a pair of legs that caused her immense pain when she walked for a man and a soul.
The Prince ends up marrying a Princess who was being educated at a nearby temple, who nursed him back to health after TLM saved him from the sea. It gets kind of screwy here...both girls saved him, but I guess he thought he luckily washed up on shore and assumed the temple Princess was the only person to have a hand in his life being saved. But only when TLM decided she'd rather die as a human and cease to exist, rather than turn back into a mermaid after she killed the man she loved (her sisters went to the sea witch and traded in their long hair for a knife that she'd have to use to kill the prince and let his blood drip onto her feet to get her previous life back), did she eventually obtain a eternal soul after 300 years of doing good deeds.
Sorry for the history lesson! The original story is just so much better.
Oh! And in the original, (even in some of tDisney version) was she either a blond or a brunette.
