First topic: Writing about a film Snow White and the Seven Dwarves by the Grimm Brothers. I plan on focusing on Marxist’s views on society and class struggle between the bourgeois class who owned the factories and the proletariat class who worked for them. Karl Marx did advocate for a revolution in which it would overthrow the middle classes. Hence‚ everyone would share equal amount of goods because there would be no class hierarchy. In Snow White the main character was expected to be modest

Blanche Neige – “Snow White” In complete contrast with its title‚ Angelin Preljocaj’s version of Blanche Neige is intended to be not so “whitely” pure (Wheeler 2012). Taking a leaf out of the Brothers Grimm original tale‚ in conjunction with Preljocaj’s influential background as mentioned earlier‚ Preljocaj attempts to twist this usually happy‚ Disney fairytale into a romantically dark thriller filled with serious societal undertones (Kourlas 2014). Snow White is no longer innocent‚ rather she

I liked “Snow White” by Andrea Hollander Budy. It puts an interesting twist to the commonly known fairy tale and introduces a new perspective. Generally‚ fairy tales focus on children and are made for the sake of entertainment. However‚ this poem is meant for females‚ particularly housewives‚ based on the line “mistaking the footprints of your own / children for those little men?” (9-10).
