Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject German Studies - Comparative Literature, grade: 2,2, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, language: English, abstract: Are princesses still living happily ever after or did they change? This paper seeks out to answer this question by a taking a look at fairy tales and their Disney movie adaptions. It will be argued that a comparison of Disney films and traditional fairytales offers a great possibility to teach gender. The goal of this paper is, therefore, to enhance the understanding of older and newer storytelling concerning gender and its benefits for teaching English as a foreign language. Listening to marvelous tales and stories is and has always been omnipresent in children’s life. Everyone knows the Brothers Grimm and Disney who are popular for their fantastic stories. These stories have been patterns for many Disney movies that have become omnipresent and essential in todays media. Especially Disney is very popular among young students. It is obvious that children are likely to identify with these stories. Consequently, it is important to analyze views and values that are presented in these newer films in comparison to older and more traditional Grimm fairytales. The first part of this paper offers a description of gender roles and depictions in Grimm and Disney in order to promote the understanding of the two genres. Moreover, there will be a focus on the development of Disney's gender depiction because of the obvious change in their portrayal of female characters. In the second part, then, these theoretical ideas and background information are applied to two concrete stories by Grimm and Disney. Firstly, the fairytale "Der Froschkönig oder der eiserne Heinrich" will be analyzed concerning its depiction of gender. Secondly, Disney’s adapted film "The Princess and the Frog" will also be analyzed according to its depiction of gender and the change that has been made since Grimm's story. The third part deals with the concrete benefits of teaching gender through these two stories. This chapter will also focus on the teaching potential of these Disney films and the learning outcome. To sum up, the third part of this work illustrates the potential that a comparison of Grimms' and Disney’s depiction of gender offers.

Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Literature - Comparative Literature, Boston University, course: Fairy Tales and Literature, language: English, abstract: In classic fairy tales, the main character is, more often than not, a female figure. She is usually innocent, sweet, and beautiful, and the tale revolves around her. Beneath this surface, however, one can see many different depictions of female figures in fairy tales. Fairy tales evolve over time through different versions told by different authors, and "Rapunzel" is no exception. One of the very first renditions of the tale appeared as a short story by the Italian writer Giambattista Basile, published in 1637. However, the story did not gain popularity until after 1857, the year it was published by The Brothers Grimm. This later version differed from its predecessor because of its depiction of females as weak and helpless, reflecting society's concrete view of gender roles at the time in which it written. The story essentially evolved from Basile's neutral standpoint to a misogynistic tale that is the most common version of "Rapunzel" today. The Grimms' version of "Rapunzel" was also the first to be targeted to children. Therefore, their rendition continued to gain popularity as it was passed from one generation's children to the next, which contributed to how it became the most well-known version of the story. Attempts at eliminating the gender bias present in the Grimms' version and restoring the original tale through modern retellings of the story have been made, and one of these attempts is the Disney film Tangled. However, these efforts ultimately fail since society is most comfortable with the version they know so well, which includes the use of heroic male characters and weak females. In the version of "Rapunzel" by The Brothers Grimm, the reader is ultimately taught that women are nothing without men. This is not an accurate or appropriate representation of females, but this version's success suggests that it is a concept that society continues to support today.

The fairy-tale adaptations of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's tales in the United States and East Germany expand the punishments for women who misbehave by acting contrary to expected gender roles within the gendered power hierarchy. Although fairy tales and fairy-tale film have been extensively studied in scholarship, this dissertation provides a comparative study of power and gender dynamics from the fairy tales of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children's and Household Tales, or KHM) and their cinematic adaptations in East Germany and the United States. Focusing on two specific tales-"Der Froschkönig oder der eiserne Heinrich" ("The Frog King or Iron Henry," Grimm 1812) and "Rapunzel" (Grimm 1812)-I examine the gendered dynamics of power and status as they exist within the referent Grimm tales and the adaptation of these dynamics in the fairy-tale films from the East German Deutsche Film-Aktiengesellschaft (DEFA) and the US-American Walt Disney Company. Alongside a thematic analysis of power, status, and gender for these two tales across these three corpuses, I demonstrate how these power dynamics and the expanded punishments for women who defy them indicate a continued power hierarchy of gender in fairy tales which mirrors that of both the socialist East Germany and the capitalist United States. Male protagonists have power over villains and female protagonists, villains have power over female protagonists, and female protagonists have power only over animals. My study analyzes three categories of 'misbehavior' for women in these fairy tales and their adaptations-lying and deception, the wish for advancement and higher status, and the enactment of anger and rage. When a female protagonist reverses the direction of the power hierarchy-e.g., lying to a villain or deceiving a male protagonist-the fairy-tale films from DEFA and Disney present greater extremes in the protagonist's loss of bodily autonomy and atonement than what occurs in the Grimm tales. These gendered consequences for female misbehavior reflect not only the 19th-century assumptions and expectations of gender roles still present in modern fairy tales, but the expanded punishments indicate the continuity of those expectations for the behavior of women in society today.

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 3.0, University of Osnabrück (Anglistik), course: Linguistics@schools, language: English, abstract: In 1937 when Walt Disney released his first movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, a completely new era of language acquisition started. The former fairy tales were turned into movies and instead of old complicated language, easier and child friendly language was established. The former, sometimes brutal, fairy tales were changed to convey a different message, the core of the story often stayed the same but the plot around the central issue was changed. The same is true for Beauty and the Beast. By supporting his films with music and accents, Walt Disney invented a new kind of storytelling. By answering the questions: How do Disney and the fairy tale present the female main character? Is it easier for children to understand the character traits of a person by only hearing about them or by simultaneously seeing the character act? Which cultural representations can be found in movie and fairy tale and what influence do they have on the language of the main character? Which kinds of stereotypes appear and how are they presented? Is the presentation of Bella in the fairy tale still current today or is it too old-fashioned? I will compare the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast (La Belle et la Bête) of 1740 by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot, Dame de Villeneuve, with the same-titled movie by Walt Disney.
