To be told one cannot do something because they are the wrong gender or race should not be an issue in today’s world. However, this rather unfortunate problem is very prevalent in modern society, so much in fact, that Disney created an animated film based on the subject. In their 2016 film, Zootopia, Disney addressed this issue in the form of an allegory of a rabbit pursuing her dream career: becoming a police officer. The issue with the main character, Judy Hopps’s, dream, is she not considered the right species to be a police officer. Sharing a world with other, way larger mammals, such as bears, wolves, elephants and buffalos, many people repeatedly tell Judy she is too small or cute to become an officer. The film also offers a second character, Nick Wilde, a fox, whose story shows the difficulty of growing up under negative labels based on his species, just as many people grow up under labels based on their race.

The film Zootopia, written and directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, follows the life of a small, yet spirited rabbit as she endures the trials angst of pursuing a profession as a big- city police officer. The city of Zootopia is a lively, thriving metropolis where Judy Hopps, the story’s protagonist, bravely embarks on her dream of pursuing a career in law enforcement. The writers employ a buoyant, kid-friendly storyline to comment on a myriad of social injustices and inequalities abounding in modern-day society. Feminist literary criticism utilizes feminist ethic and ideology to analyze the way in which male supremacy permeates the language and themes ingrained within literature. It allows readers to observe literature from a renewed, unorthodox perspective, and therefore extends the spectrum of accepted ideas and convictions. Zootopia is wrought with commentary on the pervasive presence of female oppression in the workforce. Oft beleaguered Judy Hopps combats disrespect and prejudice from her colleagues, condescension from her family and community, and gender bigotry that requires her to continuously prove herself as both a legitimate and qualified officer.
“ As I am now, I am no wife for you”(Ibsen 887) This statement is from Henrik Ibsen’s play, A Doll House, is a play based in 1879, and it sets the tone of the remainder of the story. Ibsen seems to be making a statement that women need to mature and be independent before they have a family of their own.

Ibsen’s play shows that women must mature and be independent before they are ready to have a family. This is exemplified through Nora, minor characters such as Krogstad’s wife and the Nurse, and Christine. With this being one of the major themes
