Loss Of Innocence In Frozen
In the movie Frozen, the storytellers use the loss of innocence plotline to show that we as humans must stay true to who we are because if we don’t we have to face the consequences later on and others could get hurt along the way. Therefore, Anna faces reality when she finds out what Elsa has been hiding from her since she was a little girl and learns how to live with it. Without a shocking experience or big change in someone’s life, everything stays the same, when it shouldn’t.
At the beginning of Frozen, Elsa and Anna were little kids living with their parents who are king and queen, and Anna and Elsa princesses. In the movie, Elsa had powers and her and Anna loved to play with them but no one else outside of their family knew because they were princesses and that would have caused a commotion and a great danger to Elsa and would have put her family and loved ones at risk. Elsa accidentally strikes Anna in the head with her magic when they are playing and she was trying to save her from getting hurt but she ended up hurting her anyways. If Elsa had just not used her magic dangerously then Anna wouldn’t have almost died, but instead they had to erase her memories of Elsa’s magic. That is a big change in Anna and Elsa’s lives because Elsa has to hide her

As shown in the movie, Elsa is supposed to hide her powers from everyone because they believe it will protect people, but really if she had just told Anna then things wouldn’t have gotten complicated because Anna could have helped Elsa control her powers instead of letting them get stronger and Elsa trying to keep them under control on her own. This ties with the loss of innocence because Elsa has to learn that this is her life now, hidden from her sister that she used to do everything with. Even though she thinks she is protecting her, she should stay true to

    In Shira Feder’s article, “Slamming the Door: An Analysis of Elsa(Frozen)”, the author focuses on Elsa’s impact on the traditional Disney princess outlook. Moreover, the author attributes this change to the new look and factors of her character, in the perspective of a feministic view. In addition, she briefly touches on her humanity and relate-ability to the audience as a factor. This aspect should have been discussed further and made the center of Feder’s critique, because it plays a crucial role throughout the entirety of the movie.…

    Frozen is not like the other Disney films that the main character is a prince on a journey to save a princess or the main character a princess being saved by a prince, it is about a princess saving her sister, and not a man “because all men are disgusting loners” and “lying manipulative power hungry sociopaths” (Honest Trailers- Frozen). Leaning in the direction the women do not need a man to do great things, these princesses also display great powers, which includes creating life signifying a woman ability to give birth. Men were viewed as weak, evil individuals given that women are the only important thing being supported in this…

The Disney Princess Effect” originally published on October 3, 2011 from the Christian Science Monitor. Hanes makes her argument by persuading…

    However, life in the kingdom was far from perfect.

    Did you know that in the Disney version movie of “Sleeping Beauty”, Princess Aurora is there for only sixteen to twenty minutes. Most of the movie was more about how prince Phillip fought a dragon in a lava pit, more than about the princess Aurora who the story was really about. Disney made it seem like Aurora slept gracefully while prince Philip was out fighting evil witches and dragons. A girl should be taught to take up arms on their own and not to wait for some guy in a white horse to save her; girls should not be portrayed as a damsel in distress, but be taught that girls are strong and can be their own hero, that they can do anything if they…

    The Snow Child is the shortest story in the book however it can be easily argued that it is the most shocking. This is because on the two pages on which it lays, the story takes the reader through a wicked, twisted version of Snow White, as the Count gets the girl he wishes for and by the end of the second page she gets killed after which the Count begins to have intercourse with her. “Weeping, the Count got off his horse, unfastened his breeches and thrust his virile member into the dead girl”. This is shocking to the reader as we don’t expect the Count to be a necrophiliac. The story is shocking as the girl is given human characteristics, and so we see the intercourse as human to human therefore realistic, allowing us to take it more seriously.…

    In 1937, Disney released its’ first princess film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In this film, we see a young maiden who had to spin, wash, and mind the animals; housekeeping was always imposed upon her. As the film moves forward, it becomes apparent that she was “merely concealed behind this inherited drudgery, waiting to be revealed in the new form by the storytelling props…” (De Rozario 37). After the princess comes of age, we see her meet her true love, the prince, and we see the evil queen, femme fatale, start to take action against our damsel. In Walt’s princess films, the princesses are innocent to any hatred that is pinned against them, their only downfall is their beauty which drives the femme fatale crazy. We see the same course of action in the second princess movie Walt releases, Sleeping Beauty. In this film, Aurora, our princess, is sent away to live in a forest and performs duties the same as a housewife, cleans, cooks, and washes. This was normal in the 30s, 40s, and still the 50s. It is something that the women of that age can relate too. Also, like the evil Queen in Snow White, the femme fatale in Sleeping Beauty really wants to rule the kingdom for herself “…so it is when…

To kill a mockingbird represents the destruction of innocence in the story. This is shown through Tom Robinson’s innocent death and Boo Radley’s societal given identity.…

    However, most of them highlight the negative impacts of the ‘Princess Ideal’ left on young children’ mind; especially on the young girls. Snow White’s fair and white skin color don’t only attract more boys, but it also becomes a dream for girls trying to look like these princess’. Consequently, girls with the dark skin lose their confidence. In this regard, the animated fairy tales are prime example. Snow White, being one of the favorite Disney princess' of children these days, has changed a lot in the last twenty years. Intentionally or unintentionally, the Disney princess is teaching young girls that all the value is of their beauty; and with this beauty, they can dream of having a handsome prince. Paradoxically speaking, this thought does not give any good reason to the less beautiful girls to love themselves as they’ve fear of not being able to attract any prince charming. Hence, beauty is invariably prominent and…

    Few people can grow up within today's society without knowing the tale of Snow White. From the Grimm Brothers to Disney, it has been told and retold to children throughout the ages. However, what is often overlooked are the true meanings within the story. Fairytales typically have underlying messages that can be found between the lines, generally in terms of the key themes. Snow-White discusses the theme of jealousy, and shows how humans' obsessions of material can lead to their own downfall as well as the harm of others. When focusing on the relationship between Snow-White and her stepmother the Queen, it is evident that the jealousy inside the story results in a power struggle in which beauty and pride are seen as the basis for the stepmother’s envy towards Snow-White. “This gave the queen a great shock, and she became yellow and green with envy, from that hour her heart turned against Snow-White, and she hated her.”…

    An initiation story’s plot is typically concerned with a protagonist's experience that drives character development. More commonly it is concerned with the loss of innocence in a child adolescent. One example of this category of fictional writing is “Boys and Girls” by Alice Munro, in which a young girl found pride in helping her father breed and slaughter animals in a time and place where a woman’s role was to be married and tend to a family. After watching her father kill Mack, a horse the narrator and her brother had grown close to, the narrator’s rebellion against social norms comes to an end, and she begins to accept her role as a woman in society. Through her experiences, the narrator learns that it is not the qualities of courage and bravery but tidiness and attractiveness that…
