  • Deconstructing the 'Witch': A Reinterpretation of Grimm's Rapunzel

    1261 Words  | 3 Pages

    Through fresh writing, the character of Witch is allowed to have the most contradictions, therefore blurring the rigid binary of good vs bad, an idea ingrained in popular culture for eons, in effect making her the play’s most human character. This is key to de mystifying the Grimm Brother’s fairy tale “Rapunzel”, as she is no longer placed in a 2 dimensional mold of evil figure. While her defining moments in the text are marked by unexplained rage, jealousy and retribution lensed with zero objective perspective within into the Woods she is given opportunity to be viewed in a more well rounded light as she is central in everyone else’s story allowing the audiences to experience more of her.

  • Obasan By Joy Kogawa Summary

    Through this, it is apparent that painful memories resurfacing from one's past can haunt them forever and leave them scarred eternally. Kogawa's use of vivid descriptions within the story further helps convey how traumatizing memories can negatively affect an individual for the rest of their life. For example, when Naomi worries about her older brother, Stephen, finding out about her dark past, she claims: "If Stephen comes he will see my shame. He will know what I feel, and the knowing will flood the landscape. There will be nowhere to hide [...] I am Snow White in the forest, unable to run. He is the forest full of eyes and arms. He is the tree root that trips Snow White. He is the lightning flashing through the dark sky” (Kogawa, 69). Here, the author directly associates Naomi's inability to hide her shame to the helpless Snow White; unable to disguise herself in a forest where everything seems as if they are monitoring her. The author also assigns human values to the forest, such as it having eyes and arms to relate to Naomi's brother being able to see right through her and read what is on her

  • Analysis Of Snow White

    892 Words  | 2 Pages

    The comb is an example of having beautiful long hair in a female which is often classified with femininity. When the queen brushes Snow White’s hair she states “there my beauty” and “beauty wears at a good price.” This shows that the queen possibly acknowledges and identifies Snow White as her “beauty” which could support the statement that Snow White is just a figurative metaphor for the queen’s life and past beauty. It is further asserted when she says “Beauty wears at a good price” which suggests that her beauty is fading and price means aging and becoming a queen. The corset further alludes the theme of the queen’s insecurities but now implies that she might have lost not only her beauty but her youthful figure. The corset is seen as tool of beauty and the perfect figure; therefore, by using it as a way to kill Snow White, it shows that her youthful body has disappeared along with her beauty. The objects used to kill Snow White further alludes to the idea that the queen is feeling vulnerable and fragile in this fairytale as she continues to age. This provides a further insight into the queen’s

  • Analysis Of Neil Gaiman's 'Snow, Glass, Apples'

    1694 Words  | 4 Pages

    The stepmother poisons an apple, Snow White eats it and then dies. After this, Gaiman’s version strays significantly from the fairy tale happy ending. As did the Queen’s and Snow White’s character change, so did the Prince’s. In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the prince kisses the princess and breaks the curse. In the Grimm brothers version, which is more like Gaiman’s, the piece of poisoned apple is dislodged from her throat and she comes back to life. In “Snow, Glass, Apples”, the prince’s true motives are uncovered. “He bade me remove my shift, and made me stand in front of the opened window, far from the fire, until my skin was chilled stone-cold. Then he asked me to lie upon my back, with my hands folded across my breasts, my eyes wide open – but staring only at the beams above. He told me not to move, and to breathe as little as possible. He implored me to say nothing”(Gaiman 342). The prince’s requests are strange and uncommon but the Queen complys. The prince is trying to make the Queen seem dead. This reveals the prince to be a necrophiliac, which is why he shows great interest when he first discovers Snow White’s body. He is willing to give the dwarfs anything in turn for Snow White’s corpse. They give it to him and while he is having his way with it, the piece of apple that is lodged in her throat becomes loosened and she comes back to life. Snow White stayed cold and always looked as if death was upon her, so the prince’s desire for her was not diminished when she awakened. The prince is not the valiant savior he is thought to be, but a lust driven necrophiliac in search of
