Conclusion
A. Summary of body
In conclusion, the ideas of ecofeminism in both of Disney’s Pocahontas (1995) and Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World (1998) are influenced by the background of the directors. These ideas are represented variously in the films through the characteristics of the characters and the cultures of the Native Americans. The portrayal of the characters can indicate gender inequality between men and women. Men are often portrayed as active and superior while women are portrayed as passive and inferior to men. In the films, men can play a role of leader such as the Chief of the tribe, the Governor of the colonizers and the King of England. Unlike those men, women are marginalized. For instance, the English women are not even mentioned in Pocahontas. There are only men who have action in the film.
B. Restatement of thesis statement
Both of Disney’s Pocahontas (1995) and Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World (1998) are portrayed as ecofeminism.
C. Final thought
It is generally agreed that gender equity and environment awareness should be widely promoted in this modern time so that the earth becomes a better place not only for us but also for our children in the next
