  • Mermaids and Their Cultural Significance in Literature And
    MERMAIDS AND THEIR CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE IN LITERATURE AND FOLKLORE by LARA KNIGHT (Under the Direction of Charles Doyle) ABSTRACT Mythological characters, mermaids represent seductive women and hybrid personas; their dual nature often reflects a conflict within their environment. By studying different popular mermaid appearances in literature and folklore, I can map cultural changes along with ideas and symbols that vary little between cultures. Hans Christian Andersen’s story “The Little Mermaid,” for instance, allows a female character to take charge of her destiny within a patriarchal world; his little mermaid finds a road to salvation she can walk alone, without a man. Many critics have condemned Disney’s adaptation of Andersen’s story because it neglects the spiritual quest. Instead of explaining this shift as a regression, a common trend among scholars, I have considered the film within the context of the 1980s and the context of mermaid traits found in mythology. I have also traced mermaid appearances in American legends of the Flying African. Mermaids represent several cultural variations.

    1 SCENE 1 - THE OCEAN SURFACE “Fathoms Below” PILOT: I’ll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue SAILORS: And it's hey to the starboard, heave-ho PILOT: Brave Sailor beware, ‘cause a big one’s a brewin’ SAILORS: Mysterious fathoms below! Heave ho! PILOT: I’ll sing you a song of the king of the sea… SAILORS: And it's hey to the starboard, heave-ho PILOT: The ruler of all of the oceans is he… SAILORS: In mysterious fathoms below! ALL: Fathoms below, below, From whence wayward westerlies blow. Where Triton is king and his merpeople sing In mysterious fathoms below! PRINCE ERIC (spoken) Isn't this perfection, Grimsby? Out on the open sea, surrounded by nothing but water! GRIMSBY Oh, yes, it's simply... delightful.
