Poor, cold little match girl: A literary analysis of “The Little Match Girl” I. Introduction Every time that it’s the Holidays, people tend to spend quality time and enjoy it with their families, like eat and have fun with them, have reunions and so. But sometimes there are less privileged people , instead of enjoying the food and the company of our relatives, some are even sent out to sell things, like what happened to this little match girl in this story, as she went into the cold night trying

Little Match Girl Re-write Mrs Charlton, knew that her daughter Susan wasn’t calling in to see her today. She had told her mother yesterday that she would be going away for a business trip. The only other visitor that Mrs Charlton knew would call would be the doctor. “Oh where was he?” she thought, as she looked at the clock one more time. “Not time yet” she said out loud. He normally came by around lunch time, after his morning surgery. and it was still only mid-morning. The pains were particularly

suffering, and redemption in Andersen’s: ‘The Little Match Girl’ 1 (1845); The Steadfast Tin Soldier’ 2 (1838), and ‘The Little Mermaid’ 3 (1837). This will be through the analysis of: the Little Mermaid’s transformation into becoming a human, and her death; the scene where the Little Match Girl burns her matches; the Tin Soldier’s river journey and when he is destroyed in the pan along with the Paper Doll. Within Andersen’s fairy-tale ‘The Little Mermaid’, the aforementioned themes are presented

The tellings of The Little Match Girl, both the modern version and the traditional short story by Hans Christian Andersen, tell the story of a poor young girl selling matches in blistering cold weather while illustrating the beauty of hope, reminding readers not to take things for granted and encouraging us to become more aware of the ones who do not have a voice to speak for themselves. The original telling of The Little Match Girl started off as a short story written by Andersen when inspired by

I am writing about the two different versions of The Little Mermaid. The text version of “The Little Mermaid” by Hans Christian Andersens, is about a mermaid eager to go out on the shore. When she is finally old enough, she swims up to the shore and meets a beautiful prince and tries to win his heart, by becoming human with the help of the sea witch. The movie version, The Little Mermaid is about a young mermaid who falls in love with a prince and goes to the sea witch to become a human and trades

The short story “The Little Mermaid” by Hans Christian Andersen tells a story about the tragedy of love and the result of selflessness in the form of death of the unnamed mermaid. Her love for the prince lead her to pain and conflict throughout the short story, only to end with her death. In contrast, Disney’s version ends with the “happily ever after” cliché as seen in many of Disney’s films with the little mermaid marrying the prince. With the drastic difference, it’s clear that the change in tone

Unlike in other fairy tales the Villain does not appear in the story himself. The Villain is the girl´s father. He is mentioned only incidentally and everything we know about him is that he is a tyrant who beats the little girl. On the other hand we know quite a lot about the hero, the Little Match Girl. She has long curly hair, red and blue feet because of the cold weather. She is little, hungry and poor. The author characterized her as a ´perfect picture of misery´. Due to the reasons above

concept with many different forms. This is seen in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice (1813), which presents readers with the staggering power of love, patriarchy, social status and intimidation. These forms of power are further observed in “The Little Match Girl” by Hans Christian Andersen, published in 1845. These themes are explored in several ways throughout the texts, and the authors of these texts draw conclusions and make judgements about society, hence presenting the reader with observations about

old witches like baba yaga or evil and mean stepmother like from The Snow White reminding the reader rather of a princess than a witch, and a prince in his stories becomes the evil, not the hero. In The Little Match Girl there is a villain without any magical skills but he has a control over his little daughter, and in The Evil Prince one can read about a villain who has no magic but who at least rules the world.
