I’m interested in how fairy tales shape our perceptions about gender roles, beauty standards, and ethics. Although I haven’t read any articles on the subject, I believe it’s important to discuss classic stories like “Snow White.” I’m also curious about how contemporary retellings of these stories influence people’s understanding of these themes. I’m intrigued by the significance of fairy tales in our culture and how they have evolved over time. Although I haven’t had the opportunity to look for articles yet, I believe that they may offer some valuable insights.
