The Disconnect Between Good And Evil In Disney's Snow White

84 Words1 Page

The disconnect between the behaviors of the Queen and the mother relate to how people believe how a Queen and a mother should act. These types of people must act kind and sweet while in the classic tales they represent the antagonistic force. Disney changed the title of the evil character to a witch because witches are known as evil people. This notion described a decision made in Snow White; when attempting to kill Snow White, the evil stepmother disguised herself as a witch.

    983 Words  | 4 Pages

    Nelson mentions first, that Snow White, has a very prominent evil presence throughout, unlike the latter films created by Disney. Not only is there a strong, and terrifying antagonist, but evil exists before we even meet the evil witch.

We can assume that this evil is from the wicked queen, but evil also resides within darkness and nature. Not only this, but the transformation of the evil queen into an old witchy lady with an apple is also terrifying.

Often, identifying the villain in Disney films is easy, since they differ considerably from gender conforming characters due to their physical features, abilities, and style of dress.
