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. ]]> 2023-10-19 16:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hftand/zx7eulh7itl008v6/wish/2754920617 Claim/Problem/Whole hftand https://padlet.com/hftand/zx7eulh7itl008v6/wish/2754920825 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

These become generalized stereotypes? Expectations?]]> 2023-10-19 17:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/hftand/zx7eulh7itl008v6/wish/2754963695 "Disability is different because there is an assumption that there is one way of moving through the world- one way of walking, one way of seeing, one way of smell and touch, of processing information" (37) hftand https://padlet.com/hftand/zx7eulh7itl008v6/wish/2754966375 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.]]> 2023-10-19 17:21:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hftand/zx7eulh7itl008v6/wish/2754966375 "In fairy tales, the transformation of the individual relies on fairies and magic- or the gods-because it is understood that society itself can't (and indeed won't) improve" (42) hftand https://padlet.com/hftand/zx7eulh7itl008v6/wish/2754969782 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]]> 2023-10-19 17:24:15 UTC https://padlet.com/hftand/zx7eulh7itl008v6/wish/2754969782 "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) hftand https://padlet.com/hftand/zx7eulh7itl008v6/wish/2754986509 Magic can be real in these tales so why is surviving in a world with a disability not]]> 2023-10-19 17:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hftand/zx7eulh7itl008v6/wish/2754986509 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) hftand https://padlet.com/hftand/zx7eulh7itl008v6/wish/2754997926 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.]]> 2023-10-19 17:44:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hftand/zx7eulh7itl008v6/wish/2754997926 "Beautiful girls are never ignored; they may be oppressed at first by wicked figures, but ultimately they are chosen for reward" (187) hftand https://padlet.com/hftand/zx7eulh7itl008v6/wish/2755089795 Like in Cinderella, life is a beauty contest, those beautiful will be the ones that win in the end.
