Running head: EVIL AS COMMUNICATED IN OUAT 1 “Evil Isn’t Born, It’s Made”: As Communicated in Once Upon A Time By Ellie Hodapp A thesis submitted to the faculty of Bellarmine University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Communication May 2016 EVIL AS COMMUNICATED IN OUAT 2 BELLARMINE UNIVERSITY The Undersigned Faculty Committee Approves the Thesis of Ellie Hodapp “Evil isn’t Born, It’s Made”: As Communicated in Once Upon A Time Dr. Moira O’Keeffe Associate Professor, School of Communication, Bellarmine University Dr. Kyle Barnett Associate Professor, School of Communication, Bellarmine University Dr. Ruth Wagoner Professor, School of Communication, Bellarmine University EVIL AS COMMUNICATED IN OUAT 3 Copyright © 2016 by Ellie Hodapp EVIL AS COMMUNICATED IN OUAT 4 Abstract In the television series Once Upon A Time, evil is portrayed as a circumstance rather than a character trait. Characters shift toward and away from evil; the evil character suddenly shows redeeming qualities and the good character becomes consumed with revenge. This unusual approach to depicting evil in a television adaptation centering upon fairy tales rejects the clear distinction between good and evil typically present in the written stories. A close reading of Regina and Snow’s narratives and rhetorical analysis of visuals in the show reveal good and evil as fluid concepts – developing and shifting within and between characters. Keywords: fairy tales, Once Upon A Time, evil, transformations, narrative, visual rhetoric, textual analysis.

There’s a reason we all know them. They’re a way for us to deal with our world. A world that doesn’t always make sense.” (Snow, Pilot, 2011) This study examines the portrayal of evil in a primetime television series, specifically, the transformations of evil in characters as revealed through a close reading of narratives and rhetorical analysis of visuals on the series Once Upon A Time (Kitsis & Horowitz, 2011-present). Narratives, or stories, are ubiquitous. We are surrounded by stories in our daily lives, especially when consuming television. Stories are essential to being human; in fact, one might say stories are what make us human (Fisher, 1985; Wright, 2000). As children, we are exposed to stories of all varieties. One of the most common types of stories is the fairy tale. Fairy tales become part of our experiences of the world through story time and through books, film, and television. Fairy tales were originally communicated through oral storytelling (Cashdan, 1999; Zipes, 2002) and were primarily told during leisure time by and to adults. Fairy tales are told, retold, and revised in an ever-changing environment (Cashdan, 1999; Zipes, 2011). Fairy tales remain popular and relevant due to a universal quality within the stories that resonate in people’s lives (Haase, 1993; Bottigheimer, 2009). The television series Once Upon A Time (OUAT) is an example of fairy tale adaptation. Despite changes to the tales, one can recognize not only the plots of commonly known fairy tales, but also the characters. These recognizable characters include villains like the Evil Queen from Snow White. Fairy tales, both as adaptations and products, are not only based on the culture or era in which they are told (Cashdan, 1999) but are adapted through different forms of media. Fairy tales are as relevant today as they were when originally told or recorded due to the EVIL AS COMMUNICATED IN OUAT 10 common underlying dynamic - the struggle between good and evil - that resonates across media (Cashdan, 1999). The evolution and adaptability of the stories in culture and media make fairy tales an important area to study. Stories, as a part of culture, have a dependent relationship with the culture in which they are told. Stories can play a role in shaping or maintaining culture by serving as ways to examine and understand life. Culture influences the content of the stories and how they are told. Fairy tales, as some of the first stories we hear, typically offer ways of dealing with struggles in our lives. The most common struggle depicted in the stories is between positive and negative forces often termed

  • A Foucauldian Analysis of Black Swan
    Introduction In the 2010 movie Black Swan , Nina Sayers is filmed repeatedly practicing a specific ballet turn after her teacher mentioned her need for improvement earlier that day. Played by Natalie Portman, Nina is shown spinning in her room at home, sweating with desperation and determination trying to execute the turn perfectly. Despite the hours of gruesome rehearsal, Nina must nail every single aspect of this particular turn to fully embody the role she is cast in. After several attempts at the move, she falls, exhausted, clutching her newly twisted ankle in agony. Perfection, as shown in this case, runs hand in hand with pain. Crying to herself, Nina holds her freshly hurt ankle and contemplates how far she will go to mold her flesh into the perfectly obedient body. This is just one example in the movie Black Swan in which the main character Nina, chases perfection. Based on the demanding world of ballet, Darren Aronofsky creates a new-age portrayal of the life of a young ballet dancer, faced with the harsh obstacles of stardom. Labeled as a “psychological thriller” and horror film, Black Swan tries to capture Nina’s journey in becoming the lead of the ever-popular “Swan Lake.” However, being that the movie is set in modern times, the show is not about your usual ballet. Expecting the predictable “Black Swan” plot, the ballet attendees are thrown off by the twists and turns created by this mental version of the show they thought they knew. Similarly, the attendees for the movie Black Swan were surprised at the risks Aronofsky took to create this haunting masterpiece.

  • Foot Pedestal Brooke Mckenzie Sroufe
    Shattered Moments: The Fall from My 30-Foot Pedestal Brooke McKenzie Sroufe Faculty Advisor: Margaret Sartor Graduate Liberal Studies April 2015 This project was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Graduate Liberal Studies in the Graduate School of Duke University. Copyright by Brooke McKenzie Sroufe 2015 Abstract Part One of my final project consists of a series of creative non-fiction stories detailing a traumatic accident I experienced in 2009. The stories examine my physical and emotional recovery. I have also written stories about my strongest childhood memories to explore the events that helped shape the beliefs I held at the time of my accident. The stories are not linear, but span from my childhood to the three years following my accident. Through these stories, I hope to contribute to greater conversations about trauma, emerging adulthood, and identity— particularly among young people. Part Two of the project analyzes the question of trauma and the necessity of narrative following trauma. I break this section of the project into three short essays addressing different aspects of trauma and narrative: a history of trauma, the need for memoir, and posttraumatic growth. I reference three larger works within these essays and relate the authors’ arguments and theories to my traumatic experience and to the process of writing my stories. In addition to these written parts, I include personal photographs throughout the project. These pictures, like my stories, are not linear. They are visual pieces of my shattered life puzzle, showing me before and after my fall from the 30-foot pedestal I’d created for myself.

  • Snow White: Evil Witches Professor Joanna Bourke 19 November 2020
    Snow White: Evil Witches Professor Joanna Bourke 19 November 2020 Each generation invents evil. And evil women have incited our imaginations since Eve first plucked that apple. One of my favourites evil women is the Evil Queen in the story of Snow White. She is the archetypical ageing woman: post-menopausal and demonised as the ugly hag, malicious crone, and depraved witch. She is evil, obscene, and threatening because of her familiarity with the black arts, her skills in mixing poisonous potions, and her possession of a magic mirror. She is also sexual and aware: like Eve, she has tasted of the Tree of Knowledge. Her story first roused the imaginations of the Brothers Grimm in 1812 and 1819: the second version stripped the story of its ribald connotations while retaining (and even augmenting) its sadism. Famously, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” was set to song by Disney in 1937, a film that is often hailed as the “seminal” version. Interestingly, the word “seminal” itself comes from semen, so is encoded male. Its exploitation by Disney has helped the company generate over $48 billion dollars a year through its movies, theme parks, and memorabilia such as collectible cards, colouring-in books, “princess” gowns and tiaras, dolls, peaked hats, and mirrors. Snow White and the Evil Queen appears in literature, music, dance, theatre, fine arts, television, comics, and the internet. It remains a powerful way to castigate powerful women – as during Hillary Clinton’s bid for the White House, when she was regularly dubbed the Witch. This link between powerful women and evil witchery has made the story popular amongst feminist storytellers, keen to show how the story shapes the way children and adults think about gender and sexuality, race and class.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 27, 2017 BC’s Leo Awards Makes a Historic Move in Canada’s Film & TV Industry for Accepting Gender-Fluid Performer in Both Male and Female Performance Categories Star of short film Limina gender-fluid eleven-year old Vancouver actor Ameko Eks Mass Carroll is being submitted into both Male and Female Performance categories for the Leo Awards.
