Bernachia, Andrea
All this does not only make children think that the only way of loving is through beauty and nice clothes, but it also shows them what the beauty standards are.
It teaches how we should measure what we like and that we must all have the same taste.
In The Little Mermaid, Ariel changes her body so she can be with the man that she sees through the water. Again, she falls in love with his beauty and wants to be different for him to like her. This example is similar to what was said about Cinderella, but here she wants to transform her body. She wants to be different from her family and wants to get rid of what it makes her a mermaid for a cute boy that she doesn`t know.
