after reading this weeks story’s I’ve had a shift in my perspective on fairytales, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Initially I saw the story as a tale of good versus evil influenced by what I’ve seen in media.. Upon inspection of the text and extra materials I discovered deeper layers of meaning.
In “Snow White ” I now see the power dynamics and gender roles at play along with the complexity of characters such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Of being passive characters they serve as nuanced reflections of human nature and societal interactions. Themes like jealousy, vanity and the quest for power carry weight now offering insights into common human experiences.
Furthermore exploring critiques and symbolic analyses has broadened my understanding of the story’s historical context. This has deepened my appreciation for its lasting relevance. Overall this weeks readings have expanded my admiration, for fairytales by showcasing their ability to convey themes and moral lessons through storytelling and symbolism.
