She always had an attitude. She didn’t know how to tell the truth. She always stole the most peculiar items. She tortured animals to near death. She didn’t have any friends. By the age of 18, Snow White had a sense of superiority and arrogance that no one could get rid of. Her step mother tried every possible punishment to put Snow White back in line, but nothing worked. Snow White was just too stubborn. The queen nearly had enough of her immaturity.
One afternoon, the evil stepmother asked her enchanted mirror, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall! Who is the fairest of them all?” The magic mirror’s face appeared and gave the queen a shocking answer, “Snow White, your majesty. Snow White is the fairest of them all.” The Evil Queen was enraged and jealous. Snow White was now her competition, and she couldn’t have that.

Not only this, but the transformation of the evil queen into an old witchy lady with an apple is also terrifying.

When reading Anne Sexton and the Grimm’s versions of the tale the reader may begin to be very disappointed and think there has to be more to Snow White than her “China-blue doll eyes” (Schacker et al., 386). Even her name, Snow White, is nothing more than a simple description of her appearance. The dwarves and prince in the story see her as nothing more than pretty to look at. They even refer to her as an “it” in several instances; for example, in the Grimm’s version of the tale, it says, “But the dwarfs answered, ‘We won’t give it up for all the gold in the world.’” (Schacker et al.,

These well-known characters purposely stand on opposite ends of the pole, together with all they represent. On one end, there is the virginal and almost childlike heroine, and on the other, the mature and sexually threatening stepmother. Jerilyn Fisher and Ellen S. Silber, the authors of the article: “Good and Bad Beyond Belief: Teaching Gender Lessons through Fairy Tales and Feminist Theory,” claim that in the absence of the heroine’s true and righteous mother, her pathological stepmother is “the only available, living ‘model’ of feminine maturity” (124). However, since the stepmother is put under harsh social criticism, the heroine is likely to associate herself with “the passive, feminine identity of the first queen, avoiding any identification with the active principle embodied in the characterization of the bad mother/witch” (Fisher and Silber 124). Such is the case of the tale of “Snow-white,” in which we only see the good queen when working on her embroidery, (considered a typical female activity) and wishing for a child (Grimm 215).
