It was only until a little man who went by the name of Rumpelstiltzkin appeared that she was forced to compose herself. He then informed her that he would complete this task for her, if she give him something in return. This happened on three occasions, as the King was so greedy that he just needed more and more gold. Though on the third occasion the miller’s daughter had nothing left to give Rumpelstiltzkin and so she promised him her first born son when she became Queen.

After this third feat, the miller’s daughter was in fact made Queen and when the day arrived of her first born child’s first birthday Rumpelstiltzkin came to take the child away.

This promotes the idea of not only love at first sight but also male dominance as the prince is taking charge, protecting her from any further injustice as she is not able to do so herself. Later on this becomes even clearer as she agrees to give her first born child to Rumpelstiltzkin as she remembers her princes promise of protection.
