The thing about Sleeping Beauty is that Aurora is really just a pawn in the story--NOT the main character. It's really about the fairies.

THAT said, she doesn't get enough credit. She learns in one day that her entire life is a lie and she's getting ripped apart from it to a lifestyle she's never known. And all she does is cry to herself once she gets to the castle. That had to be super hard on her.

Yeah, I've always had trouble getting into Sleeping Beauty because "girl kept in the dark for her own good" is my least favorite trope, but I haate when people act like the problem was Aurora being "weak". She had every right to cry. Not every female character is going to respond to a situation like that by telling people off, and that's okay. Pitting the Disney princesses rather than the narratives against each other isn't helping anything.

/always ready to complain about this sorry

I'm always totally boggled by people bitching that Aurora cries after she finds out she's a princess. She's not even upset by that. She's upset that she found a companion (the first one she's had ever, apparently) and she was immediately told she couldn't ever see him again.

Also, I wouldn't say it's "girl kept in the dark for her own good". I think this happens to male characters almost as much, if not equally. In this case, I'd say the more common trope is "royal kept in the dark for own good".
