Analysis of Over Simplified Assumptions
• Some one isn’t smart because of their looks. (Both blonde sons weren't portrayed as ‘smart’, one no one could even understand.)• Some one is a Stuck-up/Cocky person because they are a fit male. (Third son, brown hair, fir, ‘swoopy’ hair, made girls swoon.)• Female bear is smaller then male, more fragile, male looks strong, rough, scary.

Stereotyping Analysis
Positive Stereotyping• Woman In authority.(When Elinor walked in the room, everyone listened.)• Independent Woman.(Meredith as a teen grew independent and stood up for herself.)• Strong king(Protected kingdom and hunted bear for his peoples safety.

Negative Stereotyping • Scottish people always wear kilts.• Witches are ugly and cold.• Expected to marry young and to a
Prince. (Not a man of her choosing or falling in love.)
• To be ‘Beautiful’ is to be pale/fair skinned, flawless.

Themes
Positive• Stand up for yourself and what YOU
want.• Don’t try to change someone, accept
them the way they are. • Princess don’t have to be proper, girly,
like Disney has portrays them in the past, they can be a tomboy and stick up for themselves instead of going with the slow.
Negative• (Beginning) “A princess is/must/must
not…” Certain criteria to be a princess. • Teenagers are rebellious.
