The only one I can think of right now is the very well-known "Rapunzel" and similar tales, which only has blinding at the end. There must be some traditional tales involving disability and isolation. BTW, CapriUni, I read your blog post on "Hans-My-Hedgehog'and the conclusions you came to from retelling it. And I have to ask, are you going to be drawing comparisons in themes between the tales and the classic literature you write about on the blog? BTW again, thanks for sharing those posts, you've made me think about folktales in a different way!
