People say that the love in fairy tale goes nowhere in reality. However, people are eager to receive love like in fairy tale. Because compares to the love in reality, love in fairy tale is more tranquil, romantic, and fascinating. Love in reality is such a dish that has sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, and all kind of different tastes. "The sleeping beauty in the wood" by Charles Perrault is about pure and romantic love between princess and prince. However, "Love the way you lie" by Eminem and Rihanna text side by side in order to highlight opposing views on love as a process or experiences. Compare to "The sleeping beauty in the wood" and "Love the way you lie", people could see that perfect love story only happen in fairy tale. In the reality, people should manage love and experience the process of love.

The love in fairy tale is like destiny. People know princess and prince are always being together in the end of story. Princess will fall in love with prince in some point in the future. According to "She shall only fall into a profound sleep, which shall last a hundred years, at the expiration of which a king's son shall come and awake her"(399), this is the beginning of story and also people can see the end of story. Because it illustrates that prince is the right one for princess. Princess just need to wait her prince come to wake her up and take her to happy life. But in the reality, love is unpredictable. People don't know who is going to show in their life and have good time together. Even they think they meet someone who is right for them, and then turns out he or she is not the right one. Because human desire distract people from their relationship. There is no right one, there is only love based on understanding, trust, and compromise in a relationship. Every girl can be a princess to wait for her prince to come. But this is not fairy story, there are no certain princes will stop by. People need to experience each one showed in their life and to recognize who is the right one for them. 

In fairy story, there are no processing to approach the love. Even prince and princess meet at first time, it still seems like they are already being together forever. According to "He approached with trembling admiration, and fell down before her upon his knees. And know, as the enchantment was at an end, the princess awakened, and looking on him eyes more tender than the first view might seem to admit of: 'Is it you, my Prince?' said she to him. 'You have waited a long while.' The Prince, charmed with these words, and much more with the manner in which they were spoken, knew not how to show his joy and gratitude; he assured her that he loved her better that he did himself"(402). It represents the pure love between prince and princess. They have perfect love and they are meant to be together. Many people are eager to have love like love in fairy story, because they are already hurt by someone who was a princess or prince. They want pure love, because they are tired to get involved in a complicated relationship.

In fact, in "Love the way you lie", it indicate a process to start a new relationship, which get more complicated than people expect before. People need to meet others, to know their interests, and to be attracted to others. According to "You ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe, When you're with 'em,You meet and neither one of you even know what hit 'em, Got that warm fuzzy feeling" (Love the way you lie). It gives an idea that how people approach to level of love. Unlike the love in fairy story, people have a period time to fall in love with someone. During this time, this feeling is like eating sweet marshmallows, drinking hot chocolate, and lying on the beach. This is the first step people start to take love this drugs. This is important because when people have this fascinating feelings, they want more and more. It's not pure love like the way in the fairy story. 

After then, there are differences from what people expected when they are fall in a relationship. According to "I can't tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like, And right now there's a steel knife, in my windpipe I can't breathe, but I still fight, while I can fight As long as the wrong feels right, it's like I'm in flight High off of love drunk from my hate, It's like I'm huffing paint and I love it the more that I suffer I suffocate, and right before I'm about to drown, She resuscitates me"(Love the way you lie). Eminem used men's first person point view, which audience have real experiences from this song. From the lyrics, people can easily tell the struggles in this relationship. Eminem said: "there's a steel knife, in my windpipe I can't breathe, but I still fight, while I can fight as long as the wrong feels right"(Love the way you lie), he refers to when something wrong in this relationship there are unspeakable feelings stuck in people's chest and it is painful, like a knife is cutting their windpipe. However, people are enjoyed to suffer in this situation. Because people sometimes can't control their feelings to get away from "drugs". It's like a moth darting into a flame. A flame is very attractive to a moth. People are like moth, even they know flame is dangerous and it will hurt themselves. They are hurt while happy. 

But there is different love story in fairy tale. Prince and Princess have no such problems. They are having marshmallow all the time. According to "and after supper, without losing any time, the lord almoner married them in the chapel of the castle, and the chief lady of honor drew the curtains"(402), prince and princess are married within half day. They have no reason but already to know each other. The half day they spend together like other's years. Because they have no doubts to love each other. They have the vows from fairies.   

In fairy tale, love is not hard to manage. The love between Prince and Princess like a river move forward really smoothly. According to "and that he always had some excuse ready for so doing, though he had lain out three or four nights together, she began to suspect that he was married, for he lived with the Princess above two whole years, and had by her to children, the eldest of which, who was a daughter, was named morning, and the youngest, who was a son, they called day, because he was a great deal handsomer and more beautiful than his sister"(403), Prince lied to his father and his mother to earn more time with his wife. He doesn't want to tell his mother, because of he feared her. He says excuses to keep his wife safe. Their two kids named "morning day", which represents their love. Because the morning day is always full of passion, hope, and daylight. Love in fairy tale is passion, pure, and tranquil. 

In the reality people should manage their love. However, It is easy to fall in love, it's hard to keep love last forever. Because it's not in the fairy tale. According to "Now you're getting fucking sick, of looking at 'em You swore you've never hit 'em, never do nothing to hurt 'em, Now you're in each others face, Spewing venom, and these words, when you spit 'em You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, bit 'em,Throw 'em down, pin 'em"(Love the way you lie), it refers people are lost control on their emotion when they are in relationship. Because they love each other so much. People wants their lovers to do what they expect their lovers to do. People feel uncomfortable when their lover did something that they think it is inappropriate. Also in one relationship, people count their lovers to have trust, careness, and love on them. However, each person is individual, has different thoughts, different value worth, and different outlook. There are conflicts when people don't compromise. 

Love in fairy tale is impossible to achieve in reality. But fairy tale is beautiful dream to children and also adults. What is love? People have different answers with difference experience. Love is not easy as people read in the fairy tale. Love is hard. Love is about how two individual person get along with no complains. Love is not only sweet, but also bitter, hot, and salty. Love is drugs, everyone has addiction to use it. People are passion, lost, sublime, and appreciate because of love.
