"Evil Stepmothers"







I have been watching a handful of Disney movies lately. Have you ever noticed that there is always an evil Stepmother or Queen? This intrigued me as well as causing me to google image "evil stepmothers". I noticed that all off these women literally look like the devil's wives.

Another thing they have in common is they are all incredibly jealous creatures. For instance, Cinderella's evil stepmother made her stay home and clean all day because she knew that she was beautiful and she didn't want the prince finding her. The evil queen wanted to kill snow white because she was jealous of her beauty; and because of her selfishness, she wanted to be the fairest in all the land. In Enchanted, the evil stepmother wanted all the power, so she did everything possible to get rid of Giselle so she wouldn't marry the prince. So really, these evil women don't like people who threaten their existence.

MEANING: if you are more pretty (which you most likely are), smarter and nicer then them, that stepmother is going to feel threatened and is going to do anything in her power to get rid of you....funny I feel like I have seen this actually happen in real life.

Really, it is just immaturity on these evil women's part. If they would grow up and get over the fact that they really aren't pretty and no matter what they do, they cannot get rid of the princess, it would make everyones life easy. PLUS, really who do they think they are?? They are the STEPmother, not real mother. They are the person that their father married so he can get some action but stay moral. It's funny that Disney puts stuff like this in their movies to entertain older people while they watch movies with their kids, or other young people.


So EVIL STEPMOTHERS: Jealously will destroy you. Please get over yourselves and do what you ladies do best; looking like somebody hit you in the face with a frying pan and shoved a stick up your crotch. :)

As for those princesses, keep going strong, you get the happily ever after!!

  2. Maleficent isn't a step-anything or a queen :)
    Just a spiteful witch.

    1. Actually, she's described as a "dark fairy" if memory tricks me not.

      And the spite is NOT about Aurora per se, but NOT BEING INVITED TO THE PARTY. Curious differences indeed from the others.

      Also, the Wicked Stepmother is more about defending her interests - a good marriage to one of her daughters - than vanity/envy like Snow White's queen.
