Several of people have watched the Disney movie Mulan and didn’t comprehend that it was actually relating to the story of a Chinese poem which is called “The Ballad of Mulan” as it is a folktale and a legend. Because it was a Folktale and a legend it is unspecified when Mulan had lived although she was believed to have lived during the Northern Wei family which had lasted from.

    Western and nonwestern heroes come from different regions of the world; therefore, have different cultural backgrounds. More specifically, western heroes come from the Greco-Roman or Judeo-Christian traditions. Nonwestern heroes come from other parts of the world that would not associate with these traditions. While these heroes might seem to have little in common when it comes to origin, “The Hero’s Journey” by Joseph Campbell demonstrates that all heroes have “similar patterns” (Campbell). However by examining the non-western hero, Mulan, in “The Ballad of Mulan” demonstrates how this figure is different than the hero outlined in Joseph Campbell’s “The Hero’s Journey” in the following ways, Mulan does not have any kind of “supernatural aid”, “tests that lead to the final showdown”, or a “life-changing experience for her or many others” (Campbell).…

    In the story of Mulan, she uses her intelligence and strength to defeat the Huns for ruling over China and at the same time wins the heart of her love and Chinese army leader, Shan. But, she did not defeat the Huns by herself, did she? Mulan herself had not one sidekick but two, Mushu and Cri-Kee. Everyone seems to forget the Cri-Kee though because he is actually her good luck charm. Even though Mushu and Cri-Kee are so small in size, literally, they work together that makes most think that they are one huge…

    Mulan Monomyth Analysis

    • 140 Words
    • 1 Page

    I agree that Mulan is a great example of the monomyth. It has many of the archetypes mentioned in the Hero's Journey. It also follows the plot analyzed in the monomyth. However, I don't necessarily agree that the main herald is the discovery that Mulan is a woman. In my opinion, the main herald in her father being called off to war, considering that is what first made Mulan leave her realm of comfort. It is true that the dishonor of being discovered does factor in as a herald later in the film, along with her duty to her county, to tell her to go warn the soldiers that Shan Yu is still alive. Though, that is just my opinion and I did enjoy your opposing point of view. It made me look at Mulan's motivation in a new…

    Macbeth is a play filled with murders and lies, but it is not the murderer who is responsible for the most evil in the play. The main character Macbeth kills two important characters in the play, and is responsible for the death of a third. Macbeth is still only the instrument carrying out these evil actions. Other main characters in the play are the three Weird sisters, or the three witches. They are supernatural creatures that prophesize that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor and eventually king. They stir Macbeth’s ambition to ascend the throne. Lady Macbeth is Macbeth’s strategic wife that plans the murder of King Duncan. She uses Macbeth’s ambition to acquire more power.

    In the beginning of the Walt Disney Picture, Mulan (1998), it shows women in Mulan’s village helping her get ready to meet the “matchmaker”. The matchmaker arranges marriages for both women and men. Throughout the song the women in the village explain different qualities that Mulan should possess in order to impress the men and the matchmaker. Repeatedly the women state by portraying all these characteristics and pleasing the matchmaker she will “Bring honor to us all”. In China, during the Han Dynasty, it was a cultural norm at Mulan’s age to marry and bear children. While the men were at war the women would take care of the children, which were always preferred to be male. The only way for women of Mulan’s age to bring honor to her family…

    In William Shakespeare’s Macbeth the main theme of loyalty is explored throughout the play by main characters. Loyalty can be defined as faithfulness or unwavering devotion to a person or cause. Duncan, Banquo, Macduff and Macbeth are all essential characters who are given opportunities to express their loyalty, however it is the different ways in which these characters choose to be loyal or disloyal that shape the play as a whole. It is the character’s loyalty and/or disloyalty that construct the course of the play. The theme of loyalty interrelates the over arching themes of guilt and masculinity throughout the play.…

    However, in time of distress, Mulan does not rely on her strength to overcome the obstacles presented. Instead of listening to the advice of the men, she utilizes her own instincts to stop the Han army from killing the few men left in her regiment. Once again, Mulan overthrows the stereotype of women being fit only for domestic work by using her cleverness to device a strategy within seconds. She may not have the same capability of being as physically strong as the rest of the men, but it is this physical impediment that encourages her to use other resources to help her reach greatness and success in time of emergency. Because of Mulan’s quickness, the men hold an immense amount of admiration and gratification towards her until they find out she is a woman. Due to the men’s loss of appreciation and trust they had towards Mulan before they discovered she was a woman, the film addresses gender roles furthermore. Simply because of gender, Mulan losses her spot as the hero of the day, and becomes a “treacherous snake” regardless of the achievements she reached. Even when she is accused of treason and looked down upon, Mulan continues her journey in attempt to save her town rather than giving in to defeat. She not only empowers herself, but she also demonstrates how women can rise even when they…

    Throughout this book I always thought how similar Jade Moon’s character and story are to the Disney Movie, Mulan. Jade Moon and Mulan have been secluded to the real world only knowing the boundaries of her country home and farm in China. Their fathers and grandfathers raised them and they only had “nushi” the housekeeper to be their example of a woman. Jade Moon and Mulan are very curious girls who want to see the world and experience all the things life has to offer. Everyone including their own family always holds them from their potential because they don't want their daughter to get hurt. The world is a tough place and not meant for girls to be alone they say. Due to this Jade Moon has a lot of internal conflict questioning if she should…

    The 1998 disney movie “Mulan” is a film that despite encouraging the empowerment of individual women, is not free from common gender stereotypes. The gender roles within this film are very different and have set duties and personality traits that they must live up too. For example, the males are seen as astute, muscular, brave and dominant whilst women are portrayed as weak, feeble, insignificant and soft compared to their male counterparts. For example, in the first song “Honour to us All”, the females sing the following lyrics: “A girl can bring her family great honour in one way, in striking a good match, and this could be that day. Men want girls with good taste, calm, obedient, who work fast-paced, with good breeding, and a tiny waist,…

    Ancient Western Heroism

    • 1408 Words
    • 6 Pages

    In ancient western, people valued those who had the spirit of adventure. Even though their extreme pursuit might cause them to achieve ‘by fair means or foul’, their spirit is still being recognized among their people. This is exactly Judith did to save her village. “All the people were greatly astonished, and bowed down and worshiped God…” (“The Victory of Judith” 6). After Judith succeeded in her assassination of Holofernes, everyone lived in the village was shocked since they cannot believe that a single young woman could risk her own life to deceive a lot of soldiers and get solo to Holofernes and eventually killed him. “Then all the women of Israel gathered to see her, and blessed her, and some of them performed a dance for her…”(“The Victory of Judith” 7) Everybody admired Judith’s spirit of adventure which brought them saved and quiet life again from the hand of the Assyrians. In sharpest contrast, Mulan was recognized by her community for different reasons. Although Mulan also joined in battle and killed a lot of enemies, the most important reason she was being recognized was her filial piety. There is a saying in ancient China, “Hundred good, filial first.” Every year, the emperor would give awards to those who behaved very well in filial piety. The Mulan was one of the examples of having filial piety. Later, Mulan was awarded by the Khan…
