Mother Gothel, to Rapunzel, appears to be a kind and loving mother. However, she is actually rather selfish, narcissistic and deceitful, having lied to Rapunzel about her past and stolen her away from her true family. | Mother Gothel, to Rapunzel, appears to be a kind and loving mother. However, she is actually rather selfish, narcissistic and deceitful, having lied to Rapunzel about her past and stolen her away from her true family in order to keep the mystical powers of Rapunzel's hair all to herself. Her narcissism manifests itself in consistent psychological abuse towards Rapunzel: consistently telling her that the world is a dangerous place in order to keep her in, and even gaslighting her with the implication that a good, loving daughter would never leave the tower. | ||
Mother Gothel also cruelly binds and gags Rapunzel when Rapunzel attempts to leave the tower to rescue Flynn. Mother Gothel later stabs Flynn in both an act of cruelty against him and Rapunzel. | |||
