One of the similarities is the early emphasis on the story of Mulan. Both Wei and Edwards essentially begin their work by paying homage to the story of Mulan by outlining her story as a soldier who achieved equality on the battlefield. Edward’s interpretation of Mulan guides the reader’s ability to understand the how women like Wei saw Mulan and it also displayed that the narratives of Mulan change over time.

portrayed by the previous princesses. Mulan “demonstrates levels of strength and leadership that were inconceivable in the depiction of the traditional white‚ well-groomed princess” (Stover 2013:4). Mulan’s heroic fleet is abruptly ended when her true female identity is discovered‚ resulting in rejection and betrayal.

Fa Mu Lan: Book vs. Movie The book The Woman Warrior‚ by Maxine Hong Kingston‚ and the movie Mulan both tell the same story‚ but in very different ways. They have many similarities and differences in their plots. The main message “To thine own self be true‚” is shown a lot more in the movie compared to the book. They were the same in the overall story‚ but small details like how their family acts when they come home‚ their love life‚ and how they decided to go to war differ extravagantly. Some
