The Frog King Fairy tale

In my studio class we were assigned Grimm's fairy tales to read and analyze. The fairy tale that i was assigned was the Frog King. This story is about a princess that is playing in the woods with a golden ball and she drops it down a well, Seeing the princess upset a frog tells her he will get the ball for her if she will let him live with her at the castle. The princess agrees and the frog retrieves her ball however after receiving her ball back the princess runs home and does not take the frog home with her. Then while the princess is eating the frog comes and knocks on the door and the king makes the princess take care of the frog. But that night the frog wants to sleep in the princess' bed but she gets mad and throws him against the wall but when he hits the wall he turns into a man the kings son. The next day they get married and the kings son's servant comes back and the bands that were on his heart were broken because the prince was no longer a frog.
