But, the deal was that she had to marry the prince to stay alive and also every time she would walk she would feel enormous amounts of pain. When the prince seen her walking around the city he had her brought back to his castle, during that time at the castle they had developed a love for one another. The prince’s parents told him he had arranged marriage already set up for him. So he picked to marry the new girl than the mermaid. The mermaid’s sisters missed her and wanted her to come back home so they gave up their hair to give her a chance to come home and be a mermaid again. In order for her to become a mermaid again she had to kill the prince. While she stood over prince as he slept she decided not to kill him. In the story “The Little Mermaid” the author Hans Andersen uses the young mermaid as a way to illustrate his theme that our desires can lead us to do crazy things. The author was able to depict his theme by making the young mermaid, a protagonist character in the story, a major character whose role is vitally important in building the elements of this theme as well as the overall development of the story. With so much pressure of being perfect in this generation, people usually go against the social normal and start becoming the person who they really want to be. Which usually leads to all the different personalities around us. Sometimes going against the social normal will lead you to make major sacrifices, can cause backlash from friends, family, and even strangers, and can cause them to face major consequences. Anderson depicted this by having the little mermaid go through the process of becoming a human to go to the surface to gain the love of the prince. He did it to show the struggles of trying to become the person you really are. To become something other than the normal she had to make major sacrifices such as losing her tongue and deal with major consequences like death. This type of situation happen in our generation when people come out the closet to everyone they knew. For example
