Artist Chris Hill takes seven Disney figures and turns them into allegories of evil. Snow White succumbs to gluttony when she reaches for that apple; greedy Ariel is never satisfied and gives new meaning to upward mobility; and Belle, with her fabled beauty, personifies vanity. Tinker Bell is also included: Here’s Tink, not a princess but the most suitable character to represent the battle with Envy. Tink’s envy of Wendy and Peter’s relationship causes her to do some pretty mean things, but in the end she overcomes her envy and grows to be the sassy fairy we all know and love.
In Off with Their Heads, I wrote about fairy-tale Daughters of Eve and their seven sins and, now, in retrospect I wish I had included a section on these Disney heroines. JK
The image comes from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, and shows Freder’s hallucinatory encounter with the seven sins.
