Many myths and fairy tales tell of a prince, who has been turned into an animal or a monster by sorcery, being saved by a woman. This is a symbolic representation of the development of the animus toward consciousness.

She always breaks her promise and is only able to find her beloved again after a long quest. (Marie-Louise von Franz)
