Abstract

The article explores a reinterpretation of "The Little Mermaid," challenging traditional narratives surrounding the characters and their motivations. It emphasizes the mermaid's strength and agency, contrasting her portrayal with that of the male character, who is depicted as dependent and fearful. The text critiques societal views on older women, particularly through the lens of the sea witch, and questions the dynamics of power and desire in the original story. Overall, it presents a nuanced perspective on themes of longing, identity, and the complexities of relationships between land and sea. [Extracted from the article]
