beauty and the beast

Dracula

Shreck

Holes

Sleeping beauty

Narcissus –in one version

Aladdin- the genie is cursed

Bluebeards castle - a command from her side- a secret from his

The cure

The cure for the curse is often love- parent for child, woman for man, people for each other, love of god

The cure may be confession -relating it to the secret

The cure may be acknowledgment of a sin or transgression- could be Pandora

There are curse stories where the curse is a statement made rather than a literal curse, for example a character may say in the beginning that Buck will not be able to fall in love until he sees himself for who he is.

Look at as good as it gets to see if it fits.
