Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

It seems like every fairy tale is about boys (who are animals, like the 3 Little Pigs... ironic much?) or they are about a girl who is waiting on the man of her dreams, her "prince charming" as they call it, to come along.

The fairy tale I thought of was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. She was thrown out of her house by her stepmother, who was very vain and did not like to be told that Snow White was more beautiful than her.

Snow White was actually suppose to be killed in the woods, which is really interesting and kind of graphic for a fairy tale. She was let go though by the man that was going to kill her and went to live in a tiny cottage belonging to 7 dwarfs. However, her stepmother always came back around, disguised as a witch, and tried to kill her with a poisonous apple. She cooks, cleans, and teaches them manners. She is the wife of the house and does it in a very good mood.

This fairy tale actually kind of bugs me now because it makes girls think that they have to cook and clean for men, and be happy doing it. Never do you see Snow White without a smile on her face or without make-up on. It shows how women are suppose to act and look. It's a bit shallow in a sense. It also makes woman look really competitive, and if you aren't good looking then someone is going to go after you, much like how Snow White's stepmother did with her.
