Hidden Roots

Thesis Statement

Hidden Roots

Lessons on morals and the do’s and don’ts have been preached since we were young. The learning of valuable personality traits were taught to us by our surroundings as well as by stories we loved as children. Though these stories have taught us about being kind and love, the remakes from Disney and Pixar have lost the lessons used to scare children into behaving. Delving into the dark histories, deconstructing these fairy tales, and exposing the realities of fantasy I discovered that the fairy tales we know today create unattainable fantasies we romanticize about.
