Abstract
Film is one of literary works which most of people from different ages love to enjoy it. Literary works also take parts in our character building. What we see and what we hear will affect the way we think and see on something. Those who enjoy watching the Princesses stories like Snow White, for example, may not recognize that they are influenced by the princess's characters to imitate her. The imitating that the viewers done unconsciously may lead them to think that girls or women have to behave like the princess in the films. In this study the writer attempts to give a popular point of view toward the people about their standards what women should be like. By applying Feminism theory, the writer attempts to show that women are not supposed to act like the way they see women on films. The writer will compare the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Mirror Mirror film; both of which narrate the concept of snow white's story. While the character Snow White in conventional Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs film is weak or dependent, the character Snow White in the Mirror Mirror is on the opposite. She is independent, brave, wants to learn new things, and she fights for her life and love. The writer will also put some evidences to show that the female character in the Mirror Mirror film should be seen as a popular point of view toward women.
