  • The Ideal Princess, the Perfect Woman
    Jones 1 Sara Jones Professor Nichole Bogarosh Women’s Studies Independent Study April 15, 2016 The Ideal Princess, the Perfect Woman The fictional princess character has been portrayed differently throughout many periods within cultures and the narrative has changed tremendously. The folklore model followed generations of repetitive stories that provided lessons, often moral, of do and do not to youth, which gave way to current royal character ideals of beauty, youth and knowledge formed and pedigreed within animation and film narratives. This paper examines current cultural expressions of the princess character contrasting idealized fictional models from mainstream films and other media forms to authentic royal ideals, emphasizing true royal princess models and characteristics versus illusory roles, and consistency of these roles within the ideal princess archetype and ideology despite narrative. For the purpose of this study the focus will be on mainstream film portrayals of Disney princess characters, Star Wars Princess Leia, and actual true royalty—Her Royal Highness, Catherine Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, and Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales. The illusionary model of the princess image morphs throughout culture, but changes very little in character narrative. This is especially noticeable in the Disney princess model; when we think of princess we imagine pink, big dresses, crowns, pretty and perfect features, with youth and innocence. By 1934, Walt Disney and his team were beginning to dream the possibility of a feature length animated film into being [The Goddess of Spring, was released on November 3, Jones 2 1934]…he wanted his forthcoming feature film’s narrative to be drawn from…stories he was raised on and with which he knew his audience would be most familiar.
