This comparative study examines the characterization of the iconic fairy tale character Snow White in three selected film adaptations: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Snow White and the Huntsman, and Mirror Mirror. Through a close analysis of these adaptations, the study explores how each film portrays Snow White's character, highlighting how her representation has evolved. Employing a feminist lens, this research examines the depiction of Snow White in each film through the framework of gender representation, agency, and empowerment. It explores how the adaptations challenge or reinforce traditional gender roles and stereotypes, and investigates the extent to which Snow White is presented as a multifaceted and independent character. The findings of this study contribute to the existing body of research on fairy tale adaptations and feminist readings of female characters in the film. By analyzing these particular adaptations of Snow White, the research sheds light on the changing cultural attitudes towards gender and women's roles, providing insights into the complex interplay between popular media and societal norms. Overall, this comparative study aims to deepen our understanding of the portrayal of Snow White in film, revealing the nuances and variations in her characterization and offering a critical analysis from a feminist perspective.
