This creative project examines Disney’s Beauty and the Beast and Disney’s Frozen, focusing on how women are portrayed and treated. I use feminist literature as a lens to analyze both movies in the “Artist Piece” section.

After critiquing both movies, I include a feminist retelling of Beauty and the Beast and Frozen. I use feminist literature to retell these fairy tales with empowered female depictions.

My thesis is a creative writing project. I wrote the first chapter of what will be a book that is an original retelling of Beauty and the Beast. There is an analytical component, which is an essay comparing various retellings of Beauty and the Beast, in different forms, to the original fairy tale to see how the themes continue through all the different retellings.
