1. The Frog King, and Beauty and the Beast, among others, all relate to the idea of one royal marrying an initially less fortunate (in terms of appearance or economic/social stature) person. These folk tales are best described for dealing with life’s vital issues and that is where the drama can begin. Each story delves into rites of passage in some manner, for instance young women leaving their parents to marry and friendship they find with an unlikely candidates. Each story shows children grow up and learn to survive on their own to become adults and live happily ever after having survived very difficult situations, each lady making a deal for their time, love, etc.
“Unlike the narratives favored by psychoanalysis, which are about maternal absence and disempowerment, this tale tells a story about a strong mother/daughter relationship that shape events.” (660). Cinderella’s mother, ultimately, helps Cinderella find a husband. Cinderella’s mother and the step sisters’ mother, in the end, want the same thing. They both want to find their daughters the “right” man, but Cinderella’s mother comes out on top. Yes, Cinderella and her mother ended up on top but not while being morally sound.
For instance, while the county attorney and sheriff are making their observations of the home, they do not take into consideration the awful state of the house as a possible clue of the everyday struggles in Mrs. Wright’s life. Instead, they blame Mrs. Wright right away for "not being a good housekeeper". Also, the men laugh at the women's assumptions in a way that seems pretty rude. This is also because, to the women, this is a normal form of treatment: they are simply to be seen and not heard; they are pretty much invisible. There is definitely a tendency to mock the remarks made by the females of the play just because they are women.

A pretty face gets far in our society, and in the book Fairest by Gail Carson Levine, the characters act no different. A lady must be pretty and have a fine voice to stay ahead, and the main character Aza has one but lacks the other greatly−beauty. Convinced she is ugly, Aza believes she will have to hide in the shadows of her parents’ inn−until a fantastic opportunity turns her from silent peasant to the new queen’s lady-in-waiting. She aches to be pretty, but she soon learns that while beauty is desired in her homeland of Ayortha, all that glitters is not gold.
Housewives might need a lot of persuasion since they are described as being lazy. Housewives don’t sound as proactive as workingwomen. That being said, their conflicting views might be a problem. Since housewives are headstrong that their husbands work enough to provide for the entire family and see no reason to work, housewives will merely brush off the idea of working. Taking into consideration that housewives seem to have an addiction to soap operas, I assume that they are merely exaggerating their problems
She, unlike those previous female roles in Disney; is quite outspoken, clumsy and independent. This is why she failed to meet the matchmaker’s expectation. So she considered herself as a shame, a black sheep of her family. But then she shows the filial piety of the
She is like no other individual, different in every way, making her more complex and captivating. Jane Eyre appeals to me because although she is not beautiful, she is intelligent; she is not sweet but forgiving; and she is not affectionate but faithful. She goes forward even when all odds are against her. In Cinderella, Cinderella is a poor, unfortunate girl who has nothing; however, when she goes to the ball and sees the prince, he falls in love with her because of her beauty.
