Feminism

The historical texts I have chosen to look at are snow white and the seven dwarf,
Cinderella and sleeping beauty and in these texts the villains are all women
although they are playing a active role they are portrayed as evil. Moreover,
Cinderella, snow white and Bella all play the role of damsel in distress who
are waiting for a prince to come and save them which reinforces patriarchy.
Furthermore they take on a role to please men for example in snow white
The evil Queen is extremely beautiful and vain. She seduced and married
a widowed King.

binary oppostions in shrek 2

shrek vs fairygodmother

good vs evil

hero vs villian

male vs female

Economic context:
Shrek 2 is more expensive to produce as the characters in the film are 3D
compared to films like Cinderella where they characters are 2D.

Social context:
fairy godmothers who are usually women, who are typically represented as being motherly and caring. However, these days, women are
not like that as you get women abandoning their babies.

villians in my historical texts

The villain in this sleeping beauty is:
Maleficent -The wicked dark fairy
(Maleficent is a Latin-derived word
meaning harmful or
evil.)

Maleficent was often surrounded by eerie green flames implying that she had phenomenal powers of evil at her disposal
She dresses in black and her pet raven
Is black which reinforces to the audience
She is a villain as black connotes bad/evil.

the villian in cinderella is lady tremine

She also owned a very stubborn,
malicious cat named Lucifer, who
connotes her personality. Lady
Tremaine is represented as a bitter,
cruel, and selfish woman determined to
forward her own interests as well as that
of her daughters.

The villain of snow white and the seven dwarfs is The evil queen also known as
“Queen Grimhilde”
