Dealing With Dragon By Patricia C Wrede

Cimorene does not act like an average princess, but is upheld for her actions, and Alinora acts like a medieval princess more than Cimorene, but is still true to herself. “Im widely considered to be unduly suspicious of everyone and everything.” Kazul said in a dry tone. “Particularly wizards.”(106) Others may say that Cimorene acts like a princess when being sweet to Antorell so that he wouldn’t know what they were doing there. In conclusion, from the evidence in the text, it is proven that Cimorene doesn’t act like a medieval princess, but it is justified for her

Cunegonde was a beautiful young woman, she was the daughter of the Baron, and is constantly being pursued by Candide throughout the whole story-which really is about him finding his way back to her the whole time. Cunegonde grew up in the Castle of Baron Thunder-Ten-Tronckh which was located in Westphalia. She grew up rich, getting all the nicer things in life, and didn’t have to worry about anything until one day, Candide got banished from the castle and that’s where it all started going downhill. Cunegonde was separated from Candide, her home got attacked, and her family was murdered. From there, Cunegonde is passed around through a couple of men: The Bulgarian, Captain Don Issachar, The Grand Inquisitor, Don Fernando, and others. Candide ends up feeling like she isn’t as beautiful after he gets her back in the end, and really just is not attracted to her like he used to be. In fact, in the end, there is a description of how ugly she really is while she is running to Candide after their time apart. There is also a line that says “in fact, Candide had no real wish to marry Cunegonde” (Voltaire 411) when in the beginning he talks about his love for her non-stop. But now that she’s been raped, abused, and used for whatever, he thinks she’s ugly and really doesn’t want to marry her but thinks that it is a good decision. At the same time, Cunegonde understands that she isn’t very powerful and doesn’t have a lot of options. So, if she wishes to survive, she must use her beauty to her advantage. Women in the 18th century didn’t have a lot of options if they wanted a “good” life after marriage. They married someone who could take care of them since they legally couldn’t have jobs. This quote “A women’s gender and marital status were the primary determinants

Cunegonde is the daughter of a wealthy German lord. She is described as “extremely beautiful” (Voltaire. 5) and is repeatedly referred to as “the fair Cunegonde.” (39). She is the typical damsel-in-distress: a woman who is completely reliant on male protection and

Cimorene was not acting like a princess when she ran away from home. For someone of Cimorene’s position her choice to become a dragon’s princess was abnormal and yet it was fitting for her. her choice was a fitting occupation when she left home to be a dragon's princess for someone of her position, and yet her non-traditional personality still takes effect in her every-day life but so does her normal princess behavior.“fencing is not proper behavior for a princess.” pg.3 this shows that she was fencing when she was not supposed and that she was not performing proper princess behavior.“the castle chef taught me, before my father made me stop.” pg.11 this shows that she was taught something secretly and that her father clearly did not want her to be learning things that were not princess like.

Cimorene is an unsatisfactory princess because her choices aren’t wise,Because it says (Wrede 5) “This!Cimorene gestured at the castle around her .Embroidery lessons,and dancing,and -being a princess!”This shows Cimorene is not your typical princess that loves embroidery,sewing,and beautiful gowns But I do think she might act like a princess in some ways,Cimorene might be expected to follow these social life times as being a princess.But Cimorene father was just trying to help her.It says(Wrede 3)”Yes of course you are my dear,said her father with relief.He had been bracing himself for a storm of tears,which was the way his other daughters reacted to

Cimorene’s father offered an innumerable reward of half the kingdom for her safe return. Morwen realizes, “Sooner or later the chance of getting hold of half of it is going to tempt someone to try rescuing you whether you want to be rescued not.” (page 34) Many were determined to rescue her and could have easily been hurt or killed in trying to do so. This shows that Cimorene could be viewed as impudent in leaving her family and not following social norms. She also put her own life at risk, which was very reckless. When Cimorene foiled Woraug’s plan to become the new king of the dragons, Woraug exclaimed, “I’ll tear you limb from limb.” (page 192) Luckily the escort dragon appeared and was able to save Cimorene. Selfish acts would not justify putting one’s self and others at

Cimorene got tired and bored because all she wanted to do was have fun but a princess had a strict schedule. When her parents told her that she was to marry Prince Therindail,she denied the marriage but her parents told her that it was already done.After a long time she was away from her home she was a princess of Kazul,a dragon, she treated her very nice and didn’t want to eat her like the other dragons did.

“My parents want me to marry Prince Therindill”... “I suppose there is no help for it, you will have to run away” (Wrede 9-11). This shows that Cimorene does not have to marry Therindill. This also shows how Cimorene runs away from her problems. Cimorene becomes Kazul’s princess when a dragon says “Who would want an improper princess,” And then Kazul says “I would’’(Wrede 19). This shows how Cimorene becomes Kazul’s princess. This also shows how Kazaul wanted cimorene to be her princess.

At the beginning of the novel, Cimorene is shown disregarding the activities that her parents allow her to do. The activities chosen for Cimorene are standard things for princesses such as herself, but she wants to do something more fun and exciting, creating an interesting juxtaposition between her and her sisters. “‘Embroidery lessons, and dancing, and- and being a princess!’ ‘My dear Cimorene!’ the fairy said, shocked. ‘It’s your heritage!’ ‘It’s boring.’” Furthermore, Cimorene literally says that she loathes being a princess because of how monotonous everything is. Her fairy godmother is shocked by Cimorene’s choices, not sure how to help her with her problem. Cimorene was supposed to be like her sisters, but she came out obedient instead, defying while also going below their standards. Secondly, Cimorene repeatedly managed to get out of her recommended activities to sneak herself into the lessons she wants, like cooking. Cimorene’s parents constantly had to manually stop her from doing these activities that she chose. “The same thing happened over the Latin lessons from the court philosopher, the cooking lessons

She fears not being accepted and failing at her tasks. In the movie, the audience watches as princess Ameerah develops and grows from an infant to a young lady. Throughout this period, princess Ameerah avoids all childlike activities; where princess Lollita would play games and watch movies, princess Ameerah would study the ways of the kingdom and follow the rules of her parents. Princess Ameerah perceives Lollita to be a burden to the family and does not have a strong relationship with her sister.

In the novel, “Dealing with Dragons”, it is made very clear that Cimorene immensely loathes being a princess in the Kingdom of Linderwall because of the social norms that she is forced to abide by. The author states,” ‘Then what, exactly is your problem?”...’This!’ Cimorene gestured at the castle around her. ‘Embroidery lessons, and dancing, and-and being a princess!”. This event occurs when Cimorene fairy godmother comes to the castle for a visit. Cimorene blatantly states that everything involved in her life is exactly her problem and because that, one can find that she was justified to run away from a life that she despises. Furthermore, this shows that Cimorene had a motive to run away from what would be an inexorable marriage because of her parents and that she never wanted to hurt
