the apple in enchanted


So my allusion group was the fairy tale one. We talked about how the apple represents temptation, sin, lust and evil in a lot of fairy tales and literature in general. well i found this to be true in the movie Enchanted.

This movie is like a funny mock of other disney fairy tales. its really good but anyways the princess is going to marry this prince but the princes mom doesn't want him to get married. she wants to be queen for ever and rule so she hates Giselle. She sends her servant to try and kill her. There are 3 apples that are poisoned and so the servant had 3 chances to kill her. The apple in this movie represents hate, jealousy, lust(in a way because the step mom wants to be queen), evil, and tempatation. it symbolizes all of these just like we talked about in class so that made  me really excited. In the end, just in case youre wondering, Giselle tries the last apple and is unconscious but of course, true loves kiss wakes her up :)
