I’m exploring some ideas for my research paper on how fairy tales have evolved and influenced cultural norms. One topic that really intrigues me is looking at how the depiction of heroines in fairy tales has changed over time. I find this fascinating as it reflects shifts in society especially related to gender roles and expectations.
For my paper I’m considering analyzing stories like “Cinderella ” “Snow White,” and “The Little Mermaid.” These tales have all been altered significantly in their retellings to adapt to changing cultures and the evolving status of women in society.
While I’m at the beginning stages of my research I’ve come across some resources in the BMCC library database. One article that grabbed my interest explores how classic fairy tales have been reinterpreted from a perspective in media. This might offer a framework, for my analysis. I aim to keep digging into articles that explore historical contexts and current adaptations.
