“One day my prince will come…” This phrase, which is part of the famous Disney song about Snow White, irritates the ears of many people who grew up with her and other fairy tale princesses. Fairy tales, whether the original versions of dark fairy tales or the sedate Disney tales, have had a strange habit of depicting women as passive creatures who don't do much but learn. their place while doing housework. Unless the woman is the villain of the story, in which case her strength and power twist and distort her in a sense, sometimes literally, to the point that she envies the beautiful, innocent little heroine. In my story, I sought to betray these ideals of feminine beauty and to show that a heroine can be powerful and courageous without being the most beautiful of all. Alice, our little heroine, is a tomboy who is not afraid to get dirty to achieve it. aspirations. My goal with her is something that, in some way, has already been achieved. Alice was reimagined as a tough woman, but I felt like I was betraying the original Lewis Carroll Alice. Many Hollywood reinterpretations of fairy tale characters have a habit of making them tough only when they become adults. I wanted Alice to remain a child because I thought that in a children's story, children should be able to relate more to the main character. Steven Jones states in his article on the innocent persecuted heroine genre: “They frequently share individual episodes, such as being victimized. by their mother, stepmother or sisters-in-law as in “Snow White” and “Cinderella”, put to sleep as in “Snow White” and “Sleeping Beauty”, or kicked out of their parents' house , as in “The Young Girl”. without hands” and “The Princess locked in a mound”. I wanted my Alice not to be this persecuted heroine who allowed things...... middle of paper ...... what is certain is that none of the women, Alice or the Queen, do showing a lot of grace except during fights. Alice only gains feminine qualities when she spins and dodges during a fight. The Queen's anger makes her a little unsightly but during combat her movements are quite fluid. The title I chose for this story, which has a sequel in the works, is exactly what I wanted. Not your fairy tale. In the rest of the story, Alice meets the other members of WRW, other girls betraying their fairy tale roots in their own world. This story and its sequel are exactly as their titles imply, they are not your fairy tale, the days of the feminine beauty ideal are erased, revealing tough and powerful young girls ready to fight for what they believe. These are girls who can be both. fighters and assistants. They are beautiful in a different way; their beauty is in the form of confidence.
