Diana: The Princess of the Amazons.
In the scene where Diana turns the wheel in the entryway to open tartarus, then Mona turns on Diana by unlocking the latches is so betraying and sad. Diana didn't know if she was a real Amazon so she told Mona all about it. Mona said if Diana could turn that wheel to open tartarus it means that she is a real amazon. So Diana and Mona rode on dolphins to get to the island where tartarus was at. Mona distracted the guard by making a sound. As the guard went there Diana spun the wheel. After she spun it she called for Mona but she was missing. So while she was looking for her and she turned her head back to the door she saw Mona opening the latches to let out all the monsters.

In the story Dianan, princess of the Amazons, it was the next day and Diana just woke up. Monna, underneath the bed, told Diana to skip her studies that she goes to every single day. After that scene Monna and Diana went off to “play”. Stealing and pranking, hiding Monna tried persuading Diana to prove that she’s an amazon. Monna said that Diana should pretend to be sick while she was laying on the floor. Then, Diana’s friend decided to make Diana prove that she’s an amazon by opening the monster door which leads to all the monster's soles.
If I was in Diana’s shoes I would be frustrated that my own friend is forcing me to do something I’m unsure about! Monna called me a wimp so how could i have not noticed that she's turning me into a horrible person. To further explain, it’s been two days of “Just playing”. What does “playing even mean to Monna? Stealing, pranking and lying? Then what, open the door with a ton of monster soles. Diana feels unsure because in one of the pages DIana asked herself if this is ok or if this is too dangerous. I would feel the same. Do I trust a girl I created with some sand and dirt? NO! She’s not tained well and doesn’t have caring adults to teach Monna what good habits are and what bad habits are.

In the scene in Diana Princess of the Amazons Mona turns onto Circe and then she asks if she wants to hear her side of the story and then another Amazon tries to attack Circe.
If i were in Diana's shoes i would be dissupointed. To further explain i would be disappointed because she did all of these fun activities with me like when we did the prank with the glue and i didn’t go to my lessons,so that we could go and play then it turns out that she is Circe!It is disappointing because Circe is a crazy sorceress that says that the queen was jealous of her when she was obviously jealous of the queen .If she wasn't why did she come back to try to convince Diana to be her friend?

In the book, Land Of Stories: The Enchantress Returns, Sleeping Beauty is rushed out of the palace and she has to leave her husband without knowing what is going on. She stops on the stares while being pulled by the soldiers and they tell her "She's back." sleeping Beauty knows exactly what is happening because it was such dark magic and she rushed as soon as she heard that so then she got into a small carriage so Maleficent thinks it's just a normal person. Other soldiers are around fancy carriages so she thinks Sleeping Beauty is in those and in the one that Sleeping Beauty is in the soldiers are not in uniforms and they are riding donkeys. Maleficent strikes all the carriages and Sleeping Beauty is left alone in the woods.
I infer Sleeping Beauty is very overwhelmed and she is concerned about her husband because remember she had to leave her husband because it was for Sleeping Beauty's "health" I also infer Sleeping Beauty is scared because last time she saw her husband, he was hanging out from their bedroom window (I forgot to include this in my summary.) Sleeping Beauty also knows how powerful and dangerous Maleficent is. Maleficent if one of the baddest villains (Also forgot to include that, but most people should know that.) Sleeping Beauty must be concerned about her, her kingdom, and her family aka husband.
If I were Sleeping Beauty I would be shaking in the back seat in the carriage because it would be a very terrifying moment because I just saw my husband who pretty much saved my life, hanging from a window on the 3rd floor. I would also be scared because it was late at night and I would be in bed sleeping peacefully instead or rushing down my castle stairs into a dirty, old carriage. I would also feel like i'm going to faint because I might have an interaction with the evil fairy who tried to kill me and my family.
