Snow White Stereotypes

In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Snow White is portrayed as an immature, naive princess who depends on her seven male friends and a prince for her survival. What could have easily been the story of a young girl’s journey to personal discovery turns into the portrayal of women’s domesticity: Snow White is seen cleaning the home of the seven dwarves, accepts a gift from a stranger and is criticized for taking it without the permission of her male friends, and of course, to top it all, requires true love’s kiss from her Prince Charming in order to stay alive.
Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, both have equally depressing plots—both have a need of the heroism of the male prince and not the likely heroine—and contribute to the gender stereotypes
