    Snow White has the purest soul and the kindest personality, which makes her so perfect that not being capable to be a movie character, because perfect means boring for a protagonist. Besides boring, Snow White is obviously the weakest and most brainless character, that she didn’t show any spirit of revolt or independence, making friends and great relationships with animals and dwarfs, chasing by a hunter in the forest, waiting for the prince’s kiss after having the poisoned apple from the queen. Snow White has taken a negative and a passive position since the start of the movie. Even the song (Someday My Prince will come) opened up her mind with blind optimism and useless waiting attitude. But citizens enjoyed watching such story, that Snow White was made for her era, that the dejected Americans needed such a fairytale to bring their confidences back to life after the great depression ended in…

    Snow White’s death and her glass coffin are more dangerous to the Queen than Snow White being alive, as she “is an object to be displayed and desired” and becomes a the “ideal woman” to the patriarchy (Gilbert Gubar 296). Ultimately, Snow White defeats her wicked stepmother, but Gilbert and Gubar argue that her life will follow the same path of her wicked stepmother as she only “exchanged one glass coffin for another” and will “embark on that life of ‘significant action’ which, for a woman, is defined as a witch’s life” (Gilbert Gubar 296).…
