Disney consists of many stereotypes of race, sex, and age, which get passed down to the children who read the books and watch the movies. Many people think that Disney is just a bunch of fairytales with lovely, gorgeous, and young princesses; however, these people need to start looking a little harder. Disney portrays many different archetypes of characters other than princesses, and one of the popular character types is the old lady who is either a mother, or a woman with no children of her own bloodline. This essay will argue that Disney portrays two types of old women: the first is the ones who follow the norms of an ideal woman, and the second is those who deviate from the norms.

Compare the presentation of the central heroines in the opening of ‘Jane Eyre’ and ‘The Magic Toyshop’ ‘Jane Eyre’ by Charlotte Bronte and ‘The Magic Toyshop’ by Angela Carter are both prosperous bildungsromans, which illustrate the personal development of their central heroines as they come of age.

Their hometown is Danville, Minn., and they are both from ''mountain folk'' families, living on the drab, uneducated, underemployed fringes of life. Finding Mickey ''real powerful,'' Francine marries him, moves in with his parents, who accept her passively as another object in the house, and settles down to an existence of almost unrelieved horror. Mickey's violence explodes early on as, unemployed and restless, he begins finding his wife's clothes too sexy or her attitudes too independent.
