I have been inspired によって other 記事 of defending the Walt era princesses on this website. I thought I would write my own 記事 because I also get upset when people bash the Walt era princesses.
The Walt era princesses get a lot of flack for being anti-feminist. This really irritates me. People have to realize when these films came out, social norms were different back then. Snow White was released in 1937, シンデレラ was released in 1950, & Sleeping Beauty was released in 1959, that was 78, 65 & 56 years ago! On 上, ページのトップへ of that these films are based on fairytales that were written centuries 前 when women were viewed as 秒 class citizens.
Snow White, while she is not one of my お気に入り princesses, I don't think she deserves all the flack she gets. People accuse of taking an 林檎, アップル from a stranger, while it wasn't a wise idea, あなた have to remember she was only 14. Another criticism is that she went into a strangers house, again not the smartest idea but she was trying to escape from the Evil クイーン who was trying to kill her, she needed to find shelter.
People say シンデレラ should have left her abusive stepfamily. Where could she have gone? She couldn't simply 移動する to an apartment and work at a restraint. Women didn't have as much options back then. Marriage was her only way to escape her stepfamily. At the beginning of the film, she wasn't even talking about marrying a prince. When she was going to the ball, she just wanted a night out, she wasn't expecting to find a husband.
Aurora is difficult to write about even though I 愛 her. She is asleep for most of the film. She basically gets criticized for sleeping. The film is called Sleeping Beauty. It is the whole point of the story. If she doesn't go to sleep, it would no longer be called Sleeping Beauty. How are あなた suppose to tell the story without Aurora going to sleep? If wasn't completely her fault she touched the spindle, Maleficent hypnotized her.
Bottom line: Just because Snow White, Cinderella, & Aurora aren't shooting arrows または fighting huns, doesn't mean they should be considered bad characters.
