Essay #2

The artifact I will be choosing for my final essay is the recent movie that was released "The Princess and the Frog". After looking over fantasy theme, I believe that this method may be best in analyzing my artifact. As explained in one of my other posts about "The Princess and the Frog" it is a typical fairytale story, where eventually the main characters fall in love with eachother. When this film was released it was a big deal because Disney had never had a black Princess before, this was their first one.

Im hoping to analyze all the symbolic convergences that come with this movie properly, because there are many. Such as Tiana starting off as a lower class worker, then becoming a Princess later on in the movie (as what happened in Cinderella.) And another one is the Prince being a frog and needing to be kissed to re-instate his status.
