Peter Pan Stereotypes
This might be a general stereotype, homosexual males being viewed as mentally ill but on the other hand, have a vast imagination and are very fashionable. However, this stereotype isn’t accurate. Having actual gay friends, they should not be viewed as mentally ill, as they have a cheerful and energetic personality. This chapter will examine the villains from five full-length animations; Peter Pan (1953), Robin Hood (1973), The Little Mermaid (1989), Aladdin (1992), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) and Hercules (1997), and see how the stereotypes are applied and being created through their commonness. The antagonist Captain Hook in Peter Pan is one of the most vicious and cunning villains. His only desire is to have revenge on Peter Pan.

    Popular Film Stereotypes

    Tania Modleski's "Cinema and the Dark Continent: Race and Gender in Popular Film," discusses how popular film perpetuates stereotypes of black women. Some controlling images of black women include: the mammy, the jezebel, and the sapphire. While Modelski doesn't analyze the sapphire stereotype, she does use Whoppi Goldberg's past film roles as examples of the nurturing and maternal mammy and the over- sexualized jezebel. While I could clearly see Modelski's comparison of Goldberg's roles and black women's stereotypes, I could not as easily accept her theories on "Gorillas in the Mist" and "King Kong." Modelski says the gorillas in "Gorillas in the Mist" and "King Kong" represent issues surrounding the stereotype…

    Atticus Finch Stereotypes

    Books filled with controversy rarely get recognition for shaping people’s lives; however, To Kill a Mockingbird overcomes this stereotype by showing the good in an otherwise not so good community. This community, known as Maycomb, exemplified traditional racial views that southerners held during the 1930’s. Most of the community, and most of Southern America, shared these same racial views, but Atticus Finch’s beliefs differ from those around him. Throughout the book, Atticus stands up for people of all races despite what those around him think. The courage shown by Atticus has greatly impacted all aspects of my life, including my faith, and demonstrates the determination that I wish to possess.…

    Social Norms: Big Gay Al

    By year 10, Alan had been given the nickname ‘big gay al’ partially because he was tall, but also because his platonic relationship with the girls, allowed his friends to see him as gay. You see, a virtuous male in his friends’ eyes was a man who possessed dominance and control, who related to women as objects, designed to cater for a mans every need. Confused at how someone so tall could lack this kind of masculinity, Alan’s friends made it clear to him that being gay was not an option. Alan’s carefree nature created a rubber glue relationship with these friends. They became threated by Alan’s ability to reject the comments and provide a mirror of reflection to each of them.

    The Inaccurate Representation Of Racial Stereotypes In Disney Fairy Tales

    Disney Fairy tales have always been used as a tool to maintain white supremacy, racial stereotypes, and internalized racism. Despite its use for entertainment; fairy tales have commonly been used as a strategy to inform and educate children about the real world. However, the information children received while watching these fairy tales are often filled with unrealistic stereotypes. This is mainly because many, if not all Disney films are used to produce a negative image for people of certain minority groups. Although Disney tries to make the stereotypical representations very subtle, they still manage to destroy any minority groups image in the growing mind of the children who…

    Rhethorical Analysis Movie Shrek

    People have always watched fairytales at a very young age, growing up to believe in them. Some watched them to obtain some kind illusion, for pure entertainment, and others for the sake of love. However, not every fairytale has a purpose of giving us an illusion, of entertaining us, or making us believe in love. Shrek is not a typical fairytale. Even though many people see Shrek along with other fairytales as any other movie created for entertainment, it is a satirical critique of the archetypes involved in a fairytale. While in many fairytales we have a knight, a damsel in distress, a partner, and a villain, Shrek changes things up by manipulating our stereotype of these characters. Our usual knight in armor is a smelly, heartless ogre. The damsel in distress is not much of a mannered lady and changes her pretty human shape at nights. The partner, the knight’s companion, is in denotation and connotation of an ass, both a donkey and an imbecile. The feared villain turns out to be a weak midget who cannot do anything for himself. The movie Shrek is not a standard fairytale as the director uses the rhetorical device of logos to archetypes of the damsel in distress, the knight, and the friendly beast.…

    Once Upon A Time Stereotypes

    Many people would say that the ABC series Once Upon a Time is a lousy show, is unrealistic, and does not make sense or follow a good storyline; but over its first six seasons, Once Upon A Time has stolen my heart time and time again for many reasons. These writers and the creators of this show Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis have re-created many people's favorite scenes from their favorite movies like Prince Charming finding snow white and Waking her up with true love's kiss, or beauty and the beast dancing together, and they brought so many favorite and new characters to the show unlike anything before.The writers changed classical fairy tale stereotypes, they give the villains a chance at happy endings, and a deeper backstory than usual,…
