Mother Gothel



Mother Gothel is the main antagonist of the upcoming film Tangled, and will be voiced by Donna Murphy. She locked Rapunzel into her tower when she was a baby. As Rapunzel grows up, she has then believed that Madame Gothel has always been her mother and her motherly figure. However, each year on Rapunzel's birthday, strange lights come from the castle which Rapunzel curiously sees at her tower window and she then has doubts and wonders what they are and what they mean.

Biography
Manipulative and over- protective, Mother Gothel stole Rapunzel from her parents and locked her in a tower so the world would never know of the power of her magical hair, which she uses to remain young. Mother Gothel uses subtle jabs, over- the- top guilt trips and refrains of " Mother Knows Best" to keep Rapunzel from leaving the tower. But when she begins to separate herself, Mother Gothel slowly descends into madness and will stop at nothing to get her little girl back.
