In this video Snow White sets her animal friends to work so they can all help and be happy. Whats so wrong with this? a. its impossible for animals youve just met to help you with everyday chores as complex as dishes and dusting. b. it is representing that to also be the perfect women like Snow White you must be friends with animals. What is your allergic to animals, frightened by them or simply are not fond of them? does that make you not a perfect women? Not at all. The portrayal of this is clearly represented through Snow White. c. she enjoys every part of it. Singing away while sweeping, wiping, dusting, drying. She is happy to do all of the household chores. As happy as someone would be if they were say in love. This representation of the Disney Princess is also reflected in society. Women whom enjoy to clean and do it simply and effortlessly are seen as perfect women. Not every single person out there enjoys to do each and every chore yet we as a society still enforce the idea that to be the perfect women you must enjoy cleaning and sing while you do it.
This implication demonstrates the change we have had in society and how powerful media really is that it can change the thoughts, views and ideas society has on everything. Now not only is media creating implications on society but society is too creating implications on media. Its a never ending circle which leads to a huge question, where are we heading? If this idea of the perfect women has been created and developed so much over the past century and especially fast in the past decade (years of the Disney Princesses) then what is to be more expected of us women? What will women have to live up to in order to be perfect and will the idea of being perfect become more important to society?
