A fairy tale story that I enjoy to read since I was a child till now. The story exposes the wickedness of a stepmother who is jealous of her stepdaughter's beauty. However, since it is a fairy tale I could not feel the hardship faced by Snow White. It seems so easy for Snow White to endure the pain due the wickedness of her stepmother. Even when I watch the animated films or other motion pictures about Snow White I still feel the same. I enjoy to read the story and watch the motion pictures just to see the beauty of Snow White and how she meets with her Prince Charming. I also enjoy the ending of the story where Snow White lives happily ever after which is predicted and actually it is not supposed to be true in our real life.
Watching the movie 'Snow White: A Tale of Terror, changes my perception towards the story. It is true that Lillian, the Snow White is beautiful, but at the same time the story highlights to us the wickedness of her stepmother. She tries to kill Lilllian and after she fails to do so she starts to use her black magic. The story reveals the unnatural motherhood of the stepmother, Claudia. Women are born with the quality of natural motherhood but Claudia does not shows that she posseses the quality. Even if Lillian is not her biological daughter, it does not mean that Claudia has to hate her. A real mother should be proud of her child and tries to show love towards her child. Moreover, as for Claudia, she does not have any other child, so if she is blessed with the quality of natural motherhood, she would love and care for Lillian.
