One day I read a quote that said: “The perfect man; Definition: An unknown creature, available only in books and movies.” Witch shows that are relationships are based on the idea of true love that society wants us to believe in the perfect one. According to Disney movies, the roll of woman has change through time. They are free even though they are in a relationship, they can take care of themselves and they have dreams that are much more important that finding their own prince charming.
Snow White “hides away in the woods waiting for someone to rescue her”. (Nagi, 2014) She couldn’t stand up for herself. It was supposed for women to live for a man. They didn´t have a life or dreams of their own. Young girls were thought that the only …show more content…

Three years later Elsa becomes queen of Arendail. On her coronation day her sister Ana was determinate to find her true love. She meets Hans, the perfect prince. During the night they “fell in love” and they got engaged.
“Elsa: You can´t marry a man you just met!
Ana: You can if it´s true love!
Elsa: Ana, what do you know about true love?
Ana: More than you, all you know is how to shout people out!” (Jennifer Lee, 2014)
When Ana ask for Elsa´s blessing and she said no, they got into a fight and Elsa froze everything. Ana started a journey to save Arendail and bring back Elsa. Through the movie, Ana meets Kristof, Olaf and Sven. Ana learn what true love means when she fell in love with this crazy and wired guy, Kristof. At the end of the movie Hans was the bad guy and the hero was Ana. Elsa governed Arendail by her own and they learned that true love was not only in a romantic way but also your family and friends.

Through this work we can see how the princesses of Disney came from a dependent girl to a girl that saved her land and everyone in the movie and a girl that becomes queen. Yes Ana finds her true love but she actually knows him. They know everything about each other and they are together because of whom they are and that they’ve been

    After a more detailed examination of the stories, however, it becomes evident that each individual is striving to find love.
