I was thinking about the episodes that dealt with Juliette’s coma, which in my opinion, was the longest most drawn out storyline next to Samantha’s disappearance on X-Files.
What is interesting to me about this whole coma thing was the episode where Renard kisses Juliette and awakens her from the spell Adalind cast on her. I actually thought it was a clever gimmick that prince Renard was the only one who could break the spell, so I did a little research tonight on Prince Charming.
I did some research on fairytales tonight and found only one version (Sleeping Beauty) where the prince (who is not named Charming) kisses Beauty and she awakens from her hundred year slumber. There wasn’t anything in the tale that stated the rescuer even had to be a prince. The way the tale read, the prince just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Beauty could have been rescued by Joe,the manure slinger. All he needed was the kiss that could awaken. I think in the manner of fairytales, the best life for a woman was that of a queen. She would have been waited on for the rest of her life, been wealthy and remained relatively healthy. And so, she marries the prince who can give that to her.
Catherine Schade tells Renard that in order to break this spell, the person who wakes Juliette has to be pure of heart. I couldn’t find anything in any of the fairytales I looked at that stated the man had to be pure of heart.
Catherine goes on to tell Renard that it’s challenging finding someone who’s pure of heart nowadays. So she has to do it chemically. She says the more pure of heart a person is, the less painful the process. Then she tells Renard that since he’s barely human, he’s in for quite a ride. Renard drinks the potion, experiences severe excruciating pain, but survives to save Juliette.
Later, Catherine tells Kelly that only a prince can save Juliette and there’s a prince in Portland, but dies before revealing the name to Kelly.
I thought this might be a good topic to put in the spells and potions thread. What is meant by pure of heart? I did a little research on that as well. From a theological perspective, the pure in heart will see God. There was also a website listing some heroes who were pure in heart. Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz was listed. In my opinion, being pure of heart is a spiritual process, not a chemical one. So how could Renard’s heart be made pure, chemically? How long does a pure of heart spell last? Can others see this pureness of heart?
