Rapunzel was a girl who was captured by an old witch in a tower. The old witch climbed up the tower with the help of Rapunzel's very long hair which she let down for her through a window of the tower.

Amanda wanted to be Rapunzel so that no one could disturbe her. she wanted to live a lufe of isolation where no body could give command or order.
