207 Words1 Pages
The way Disney’s Mulan stereotyped the roles of women shows both accuracies and inaccuracies. Examples of accuracies is the when Mulan goes to visit the match maker at the start of the movie. Research shows that match making was and is a thing in ancient china, a marriage would be decided not by a young couple's love, but by their parents' desires. Only after a matchmaker's introduction and when parents considered the two family conditions were similar and could be matched (("Ancient Chinese Marriage Customs, Traditional Wedding Ceremony, Groom & Bride", 2017). Match making started from the Qin dynasty in 221 BC. There was no match maker mentioned in the ballad, it is likely it wasn’t mentioned because she was fighting in war for 12 years.
