The institution I want to explore and analyze is Disney princess movies. Because there are quite a few of them I want to focus on the original set of princesses. That would be Cinderella, Snow White, Aurora, Ariel and Belle. I want to focus on these specifically because they play a very big part in how I believe we define beauty, stereotype the gender roles of both men and women, and how we view consent. Through all the readings then thing that stuck out to me the most is how important language is. How we describe ourselves matter, how we identify matters, and the words we choose matter. For all these Disney princesses it is interesting to hear how the narrator describes the women, they are spoken of more as objects than as people. These movies also play very heavily on stereotypes and gender roles. \u00a0 The woman stays home, she cooks and cleans, she isn’t very smart but man is she pretty. Then here comes a strapping young man to save her, to rescue her from a a tragic end. Most of the time kissing her whiles is unconscious. I just find it very interesting now that I can go back to these movies with a fresh pair of eyes. As a young girl you don’t pick up on the messages these movies are telling you. You just know that one day I want to be a princess and I want my Prince Charming to come and save me.<\/p>\n
