Shattered: A Fictional Narrative

Once the Queen arrived back to her castle, she went to her magic mirror and said “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, Who in this land is fairest of all? It then replied with “You, my queen, are fair; it is true. But Snow-White, beyond the mountains with the Seven Dwarfs, Is still a thousand times fairer than you” Her jealousy and anger got even worse than before, she was furious. The Queen then made a poisoned apple and went beyond the mountains back to the cottage gave it to Snow White. As soon as she took that first bite she fell over dead.

However, as those who are familiar with the story know, this was not the end of Snow White. When the Queen finds out Snow White escapes death from the huntsman and ends up living with seven dwarfs, she still considered Snow White a

“DID I SAY I CARE FOR YOUR SAFETY? No! Damn fool! EXECUTION! EXECUTION!” She screamed it loud as she could, rattling the throne beneath her, but she soon stood up and started to yell and scream. She was nothing but a queen, and the fool’s head would be beneath her, rolling on the grass, blood trailing

His sense of her inferiority–of its being a degradation of–the family obstacles which judgment had always opposed to inclinations were dwelt on...” (Austen 12). These words reflect Mr. Darcy’s excessive pride and heightened awareness of social status, while inducing him to recount all the ways in which he and Elizabeth are an illogical union, rather than relaying anything complimentary. In response to this insult-ridden proposal, Elizabeth proclaims that if he had acted in a more “gentlemanlike manner,” she would have been more inclined to express sympathy following her rejection of his advances. Despite Elizabeth’s clear message that she will not observe his insensitive words in submission, Mr. Darcy endures in the conviction that his prideful manners toward Elizabeth are well-justified and merely detail the truthful, adverse nature of her inferior social standing with the utmost sincerity.

Ever since birth, Darcy has thought highly of himself. He felt like it was a natural thing to do. He never noticed how he treated people. Darcy met Elizabeth at a ball. She was in the middle of telling a story, when Darcy walked away. He said that she wasn’t handsome enough for him. She didn’t have the perfect symmetry he was looking

Snow White is another tale that involves struggle of good vs evil. It is about young girl named Snow White. Her mother died soon after giving birth to her. Snow White 's father is the King. He remarries a beautiful woman that is very wicked and conceited. The new queen has a magic mirror, which she asks every morning, "Magic mirror in my hand, who is the fairest in the land?" The mirror always replies: "My queen, you are the fairest in the land" (Grimm). The queen is pleased to hear that she is the fairest. As Snow White grows up she becomes more beautiful each day. One day the queen asks her mirror again who is the fairest in the land but it tells her that Snow White is the fairest. This shocks the queen. She becomes jealous and grows to hate Snow White.

Clarification of her beauty is there to aid the reader in understanding that she is good and valuable. Furthermore, her hair not only symbolizes beauty but fertility and sexuality; proving that she is an object. Once she loses her hair, it is evident that she also loses what makes her of value to men, which in this case is the innocence of her untouched beauty or her virginity (pg. 35). In addition, the story “Little Snow-White,” presents an initial description about Snow-white centered around her beauty: “as white as snow, and as red as blood, and her hair was as black as ebony” (pg. 124). Because of this description, the reader defines Snow-white’s importance with the base of her pure white skin, passionate red lips, and seductive black hair. These three characteristics show the value of Snow-White to the prince, who begs the dwarfs for her coffin. While persuading the dwarfs to give over Snow-white, he attempts to trade objects to compensate the dwarfs (pg. 130). To young women, values defined in fairy tales depict a horrid, demeaning view of

Long ago in the kingdom of Glendora lived a small village. The Evil queen and her trolls lived in the South Mountain. The Ice queen and her munchkins lived on the far opposite side of Glendora. Both queens were known to have had friction among the years. The effects of which the citizens of Glendora knew far too well of. It is said that one sunny day in Glendora the Ice Queen, Blair, made her way through South Mountain collecting her daily herbs. Startled Queen Blair turned around after the crackling of leaves erupted throughout the forest. The fiery eyes of the Evil Queen stared back at her. “ What brings you to my part of Glendora Blair?” ,exclaimed Queen Eleanor. “I’m only picking out my herbs Eleanor.” , cracked Blair. “I’m finding that

Darcy’s pride and his sense of superiority are considered rude and ungentlemanly behavior, and no amount of money or fine looks can save him from falling into disgrace with the people of Hertfordshire. Later, when Darcy first proposes to Elizabeth, she shocks him when she angrily exclaims that “had [he] behaved in a more gentleman-like manner” (168), then she may have felt

Snow, Glass, Apples is written as a short story meant to mirror the Brother Grimm’s story Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. This short story, however, is told in first person from the perspective of the Queen. This alteration the classic Snow White story offers a look at the tale in a way the reader is not used to. No longer is the Queen just this one dimensional evil character most people have grown comfortable with. Instead, Gaiman challenges what is considered typical for the antagonist and offers the complexity the evil Queen’s character often lacks.

When the Evil Queen starts to mess with Emma then it all turns into a war. The Evil Queen does not quit for anything. She just wants Emma( Henry’s real Mother) to leave the enchanted forest since she never cared for him before he came to look for her. My favorite version of the Evil Queen is when she plays in the story Snow Night.

The older mentality for the female was that their purity on the inside reflected their countenance on the outside. Thus, Snow White, being the fairest, was also the purest of them all. The plot relies heavily on the queen trying to remove Snow White. Yet, even though this is important to the queen, to the readers there is still the question of why. Why was it so important for the queen to be the fairest of them all when she had the highest status for a woman? The Grimm Brothers claim it was her envious heart at work, that her vanity filled every want and whim she had. They Portray her as Aphrodite, beautiful and fair for sure, but ready to destroy any girl who might take her place.

Mr. Darcy is very proud and vain man. Darcy’s pride occurs because his family allows him to follow his principles “in pride and conceit” (Austen 310). Elizabeth decides soon after meeting him that he is a

NARRATOR: Once upon a time, there was a King Malicious who had a beautiful daughter. Men from all around the world sent proposals of marriage to King Malicious, but King Malicious said.

Following the stepmother are the seven dwarfs, who also reduce Snow White to her beauty in two very distinct instances. When Snow White appears in their house, they are quick to let her stay in their bed because she is beautiful. The Brothers Grimm write, "My goodness, oh my goodness!'… 'What a beautiful child!' They were so delighted to see her that they decided not to wake her up and let her continue sleeping in her little bed," (97). This clearly shows how the very first thing the seven dwarfs noticed about the evident intruder in their home was her beauty. In a more logical world, one would be upset or at least remotely afraid of a stranger being in their home and sleeping in their bed. But the seven dwarfs quickly reduced Snow White to her enchanting beauty, completely disregarding the fact that she broke into their home and could have potentially been trying to steal something. Another instance in which the seven dwarfs undoubtedly reduce Snow White to beauty is after the "death" of Snow White. Completely under an enchanting spell by her beauty, the seven dwarfs refuse to lower her into the "dark ground," claiming that "she still looked just like a living person with beautiful red cheeks." (Brothers Grimm, 101). Again, the word "beautiful" continues to be prominent when describing Snow White, even as a dead corpse. The seven dwarfs
