Intro: We all want to find happiness and succeed, we all want society to accept us so we can live our happily ever afters.
Context: We all want to find these endings like Charles Perrault's Cinderella, who rose from rags to riches after oppression from stepmother and stepsisters; Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont's Beauty in Beauty and the Beast, who saw past the Beast's "ugly"; and Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid, who rose to the heavens after sacrificing her life over her prince's.

"Every disabled story becomes a narrative- a story that has everything to do with what culture perceives of as good (able-bodiedness, beauty) and bad (disability, disfigurement), and how we, as a society are supposed to act toward one another- and what society, or the higher powers that be, will do to us in return" (36)

Such tales define the meanings of good and bad in society and how we should treat people who have these traits. These become generalized stereotypes? Expectations?

Similarly, fairytales arrange the characters journey or way to happy ending as a singular path. There is only one way to marry the prince, one way to be the chosen one; and ultimately any character with an impurity is stoned to death, fades to seafoam, or must get rid of their impurity.

When taking into account history it is true that making change in society as a common peasant is difficult but these days whatever is taught in fairytales is taken into real life and this is not true in modern society --> bad message to say you cannot make change and you must change yourself to satisfy society

"instead of imbuing the reader with a worldview in which change is possible and things can turn out positively for the disenfranchised, the prevalence of magic in fairy tales serves to reinforce the class and societal structures already in place" (42)

Magic can be real in these tales so why is surviving in a world with a disability not

From Lieberman but quoted in Haase: "fairytales have been made the repositories of the dreams, hopes, and fantasies of generations of girls"  "millions of women must surely have formed their psycho-sexual self conepts, and their ideas of what they could accomplish ... in part from their favorite fairy tales" (385)

These ideas/beliefs about how to achieve goals or how to love are being carried into adulthood from childhood stories. They become internalized tales and blueprints as how life should go, we imagine that our lives should proceed according to a story. Apply what we learn to our lives so the competition and bringing other girls down and ugly people are bad and won't succeed ideas can be applied to life unconsciously, just because that's how the tale goes.

Like in Cinderella, life is a beauty contest, those beautiful will be the ones that win in the end. The point of life is to win this reward.

And on top of one prize, only one way to achieve that prize. You either win or lose on the way to achieve that happy ending. It teaches girls to put other girls down to win.

You cannot achieve a happy ending without charm. NOTHING. There is only one way to achieve such a goal. One way too success. Which is absolutely untrue!!

Competition between stepsisters and cinderella: must have competition aspect to succeed in life --> putting other girls down to win

# data[].attributes.body
Although it may seem like these classics are innocently telling the tales of our cherished princesses, I argue that these tales promote unhealthy competition and supports stereotypes that those with "impurities" cannot succeed in life or find happiness. What we don't realize is that life cannot be like these fairytales and won't always go according to planned (?) Through further exploration of the fates of characters and their "impurities",  I will show that unlike how fairy tales put it, life can be navigated in more than one way, even with obstacles in the road. (work on this because I'm trying to show that tales are promoting the opposite of this)

1. Teaches audience there is only one way to live life or succeed your goals, if not then you ultimately fail

2. They promote that there is a certain requirement to become happy and successful, "you have to fit this mold"

3. Teach girls to bring other girls down and teach them to be less proactive.

4. You can succeed in life without bringing other people down

5. Only one way to be happy and succeed when in reality there are so many ways to be happy and live life even with any "impurities"

6. Generalize such ideas

"He can give you a soul and yet to keep his own. But it will never happen. For that which we consider beuatiful down here in the ocean, your fishtail, they find ugly up above on earth. They have no sense; up there, you have to have two clumsy props, which they call legs, in order to be called beautiful" (153)

The only way for the mermaid to be happy and in the world up above was to get rid of what the humans considered ugly and an impurity: her tail. She would never be given a soul if she is not accepted by them --> if she is considered ugly and without legs

Being ugly is such a bad thing that his kindness goes to waste because he is ugly. "Pity" for his "impurities"

# data[].attributes.body
What we don't realize is that there is more one way to achieve our happy endings, not just either sacrificing our lives or conforming to the norm. (?) We can continue living with our own "impurities" and fight back these social standards. Because in reality there are people living happily and navigating through the world without being the /// society expects them to be.
