Narrative Essay About Snow White

Superior Essays
Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful hallowed princess named Snow White. Her father had died when she was a young girl and her step mother raised her alone. One day when Snow White was outside playing with the animals while singing songs, a prince riding nearby heard her angelic voice coming from the palace and was shook. He couldn’t help but gasp when he saw how beautiful she was, and thought for a moment about joining her in song. He began to approach the palace walls. He then realized that this was not his property, so he got on his steed and rode off. The haughty Queen saw Snow White’s timid admirer from her castle, and was seething with jealousy.
“Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” asked the Queen.
“Snow

She ordered her Huntsman to find Snow White and kill her. The Huntsman followed Snow White into the woods one day, and he almost got to her until she turned around and saw him. The naive Huntsman explained to Snow White that the Queen had ordered him to kill her because she was so beautiful.
“Why would you allow her to order you around and treat you like property? You are human! Everyone should be treated equally”, exclaimed Snow White.
“You know what, you’re right. I should be treated with more respect than this. Besides, I was reluctant to hurt a woman anyway. Now go, run as far away as you can” warned the

After what seemed like forever, Snow White took the apple and she thanked the lady. When the old woman had asked Snow to take a bite of the apple is where Snow White drew the line at. She became wary of the lady’s intentions and regretted opening the door in the first place.
“I don’t feel comfortable with what you’re asking me to do!” Snow White announced timidly.
“One little bite won’t hurt dear.” the woman insisted.
“No means no, please respect my decision.” declared Snow while shutting the door on the old hag. She knew a thing or two about sanitizing produce before eating, so she took the apple to the sink to wash it. But that wasn’t enough to wash away all of the poison from the apple’s outer rind. After she had gone to take a generous bite out of said apple, she dropped to the floor and fell into a deep sleep. The evil queen left without compunction.
The dwarves came back from work to find their beloved princess passed out on the dirty cottage ground. They had heard of this Queen’s apple before, and they knew that the only way to wake her up was true love’s kiss. They placed her in a beautiful glass coffin and

    Almost all girls have either seen or have heard the “Cinderella” story before. Being a princess has been most girl 's dreams as a child, but little do they think about the theme and the message the “Cinderella” story creates. Elisabeth Panttaja, professor from Tufts University and author of the article “Cinderella: Not So Morally Superior,” explains a theme that people may find unsettling because she claims that Cinderella and the prince may not have been in love. She hints at the fact that Cinderella’s mother may have been the culprit in scheming and seducing the prince into marrying her.…

    The archetypal theme of selling your soul to the devil has been in practice for centuries back. The willingness for someone to sell their soul in exchange for something they desire or what they most want in life and not always do they have another choice and that’s when they decide to not work for what they want and go the easy way to having fame, power, revenge and beauty. Both Tom Walker from “The Devil and Tom Walker” and Queen Ravenna from “Snow White and the Huntsmen” thought they had no other way and chose to sell their soul to the devil but ended up worse than how they were in the beginning and alone with nothing or nobody by their side. Foremost, Tom Walker was a very greedy man who didn’t care about anyone but himself, not even his wife who he was married for years now, yet there was no love nor affection from both of them.…

    Symbolism In Snow White

    When Disney released its first animated film, “Snow-White and the Seven Dwarves”, it became an instant classic. Since then, the cheery chirpy version of the story is what has stayed in the hearts and minds of young readers. The story is based off of the Grimm Brother’s version of the tale; although by no means the oldest version of the story, it is the most popular version known by readers today. However, although the image of the Disney version is bright, even the cleaned up version written by the Grimm Brothers is significantly darker than what most people might have in mind when they think of “Snow-White”. One of these darker elements is the nature of the mother-daughter relationship represented in the story as it portrays the mother-daughter relationship as a power-struggle between a young, beautiful girl and a cunning, jealous mother figure.…

    Further, I analyzed that sexism in the narrative, especially in the scene where she was with the dwarfs and the only way that she could be accommodated, she was to serve them, cook for them, clean, sweep and wash to keep the cottage tidy. This is portraying that the roles of women are clean while the dwarfs symbolizing men go out to do menial jobs. Additionally, the plot of The Little Snow-White is straightforward, and it narrates a story where the beauty of the Little Snow-White attracts envy and hatred from her own stepmother, that almost caused her death. The beautiful queen with a heart as dark as the bats of the night ordered a huntsman to kill the innocent seven-year- old princess. The narrative was told from the point of view of an omniscient narrator that gives the reader the opportunity to share in the struggle of the little princess.…
