Wizard Of Oz Symbolism

In the Disney movie Sleeping Beauty, there are 2 perspectives, one is Aurora’s and the other is Maleficent’s. Maleficent is not invited to the christening of Princess Aurora; therefore Maleficent gets outraged and decides to seek revenge. Maleficent is evil because her revenge was to curse Aurora, “that she will die before sunset on her 16th birthday after pricking her finger on a spinning wheel”. Her plan is for

So she dresses up as a little old lady and gives Snow White a poisoned apple, leaving her lifeless. The stepmother does this out of jealousy, for she, the queen must be the loveliest, not Snow White. She feels threatened, and wants to get revenge on Snow White for stealing her spot as the “loveliest in the land”. Many poets write about villains getting revenge, one of which is Nathan Stobbs, who wrote the poem Two Faced. In this poem a man tells of how he is viewed as a villain for things he did; even though, like poseidon, he was doing them for a greater good.

The Land of the Munchkins were ecstatic that the Wicked Witch was gone. Munchkin Country praised Dorothy. Moving on, the death of the Wicked Witch of the West was also caused by Dorothy. Dorothy 'melted ' her by dumping a bucket of water on the Witch. Following the Wicked

The witch took Blanche home with her and asked her to cook, clean, give her a massage and do exactly as she's told for three days. The protagonist accomplished all of her tasks and was rewarded with talking eggs that gave her great riches. Rose, the lazy sister, was forced by her mother to do the same thing that her sister did. She found the same witch, but refused to follow the witch’s rules.

This leads the evil stepmother into a wild pursuit for power, where she is willing to kill her stepdaughter in order to once again be the “fairest” and most powerful, it is here that food comes in to play. Cannibalism is of importance in “Snow White” as it shows the evil stepmothers power in one of its most significant ways, proving she has complete supremacy over the girl: “The cook was ordered to salt and stew them, and the godless woman ate them, thinking she was eating Snow White’s lungs and liver” (148).

There are two Wicked Witches and two Good Witches. They live across from each other on the axis of South, North, East and West. The evil witches are distinguished by their enslavement of the people who live in the land, and their constant desire for power. The Wicked Witch of the West tried to destroy Dorothy and her friends numerous times on their quest to see the Great Oz. The Good Witches, however, provide guidance and counsel them along their catastrophic journey.

Disney inspired fairy tales have a certain universality, everything is romanticized and there usually is an evil antagonist making situations worse. In Disney’s Enchanted, Giselle the protagonist is the typical gender stereotyped fairy tale princess. She is a cartoon character in a fictitious place called Andalasia, who later turns into a real woman in New York City after getting pushed into a magic well. This happened because Giselle’s prince’s evil step mother Narissa thought Giselle is marrying the prince to get Narissa dethroned. Similarly, in Sleeping Beauty, Aurora a passive, beautiful princess is cursed to fall into a deep slumber when she is pricked by the spinning needle.

Then at the end of it all, this toxic twisted manipulative murderer walked away freely with no punishment at all. The Crucible is a story about a young girl who single handedly destroyed a town. The keys of many lives rest in the hands of a twisted young girl, the kingdom started to fall when the Nobel lives of those who refused to lie, dangled from a noose by their

In the novel “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” the colors are used to bring meaning to the various aspects of the story. Initially when Dorothy is in Kansas at her Aunt and Uncles farm everything is presented in muted colors, like gray and dreary. This coloring also serves as a symbol for the life that Dorothy lived in Kansas. It was a boring life, simple and there wasn’t much to smile about.

Snow White is a kind and caring person in OUAT, even though nobody except for the kid knows that time has stopped because of the evil queen. She wakes up Prince Charming by reading him a story of the past to remind him of what happened. I personally like the Snow White that killed the queen at the end. It was the story from the “Twisted Fairy Tales.” I think it is awesome that she was poisoned then went on to kill her step mother because she was trying to kill her throughout the entire story.

Unlike the Disney Movie "Beauty and the Beast" , It starts with the curse casted by a witch upon the prince, the Film La Belle Et La Bete starts off with a woman reading the book entitled "La Belle Et La Bete". How the beast came to be also differs. In La Belle Et La Bete, a curse was cast upon a God, as a form of vengance when his Daughter was accidentally killed when she was in the form of a Doe. Belle 's character and background changed a bit too. In the Disney Movie, Belle was a book-nerd, whom people thought of as crazy for loving books, and also seems to be an only daughter.

The Wizard of Oz is an epic because it is a long story and has many heroes that will be remembered for their feats. In The Wizard of Oz, the epic characteristic of supernatural setting was shown. This was shown in the whole land of Oz, because this land isn’t any ordinary land, it has talking animals, and witches.
