Beauty and the Beast

I recently watched Disney's Beauty and the Beast which is about a young girl who agrees to live with a beast in order to save her father's life. The beast treats her badly and constantly is yelling at her. However, she somehow finds the good in him and eventually falls in love with him. This movie shows the typical interpretation of how Disney princess are expressed. Belle is portrayed as a beautiful girl who gives up her life for a man. Although the beast does not treat her well, she still gives him a chance to be a gentlemen and ultimately returns to be at his side and save him from being killed. This movie displays women as being damsels in distress and as being afraid to stand up to men. The women's life goals are to find a husband and live happily ever after. Belle ultimately achieves this when she falls in love with the beast and he turns back into a prince.
