PHILOSOPHY MAJOR

Probably not what you’re expecting, but I hope to दिखाना that Aurora is very suited to philosophy.

To begin with, in Aurora's bedroom - if we look closely - we will see that she has two books. Being the 14th century (a century before Gutenberg's printing press) not only would पुस्तकें be very expensive and rare but literacy rates were very low - even lower considering her demographic: sixteen, female, peasant. द्वारा having पुस्तकें at this time, education / knowledge is extremely important in the household and Aurora is most likely very well educated (=at least literate).

Perceptive and Curious

The most important point first: when Aurora goes walking in the woods, she doesn’t just observe nature, but she सवालों it. Not the arguably और basic W’s (=who, what, when, where, या how), but “why”. She already knows the जवाब to the others, but she doesn’t understand why (=the cause, reason, या purpose, etc..) for the behaviour of the animals.

She devotes a whole song which not only सवालों her ongoing observations of biology (=I wonder why each little bird...) but also सवालों if such observations could apply to herself (=If my दिल keeps singing...).

Even though she has lived a very sheltered and isolated life, she is very perceptive and curious to the world around her - perfect for philosophy.

Level-headedness and Patience

To be a good philosopher, Aurora would need to evaluate different ideas and situations while understanding each point of view. It would be time-consuming as well as hard work (=hard ‘thinking’ work) Aurora did this when she responsibly returned घर after meeting the stranger, and when she dutifully went along with the betrothal and arranged marriage.

From my personality analysis of Aurora, I believe that she is educated and conscious about betrothal because she knows how socially, politically, and legally important अभिनय as a princess is. It’s this kind of contextual approach which would help Aurora form a well-supported (philosophical) decision.

Questions the rules

Now, this isn’t to say she’s headstrong, rebellious, या reckless, etc.. Rather, she will think things through, even the 'rules' which are usually assumed. For example, she wonders why the fairy aunts still treat her like a child (in the forest), and when they weren’t happy at her setting a तारीख, दिनांक she asked why because, after all, she is sixteen.

As such, not only is she willing to logically think things though, but she is also willing to सवाल her core beliefs and assumptions as well

Because of these reasons and personality traits, I think Aurora would be very well suited to philosophy.

Her major is undecided. Not because she lacks focus, but because she's keeping her options open.

MINOR: MUSICAL THEATRE

Aurora, द्वारा describing her dream and द्वारा acting, dancing, and गाना to her ‘dream prince’, is a very creative girl. In fact, she has enough imagination to practice and perform alone. As in her “Once upon a Dream” song, she uses her talent to make costumes and प्रॉप्स come alive.

In musical theatre, she can develop and perform the stories which have the themes that she is most interested in: rebellion and love.

She doesn't have an extra-curricular because she has this. Not only is she having fun, but she's getting credit too.

STEREOTYPE: The Dreamer

Rather than studying indoors, Aurora would rather be पढ़ना and thinking quietly under a tree. When she’s not on campus, you’d usually find her in the nearest park; wandering through the woods, wondering about life, and गाना to herself. She’s kinda shy but always up for a thoughtful discussion.

Both her subjects are something she can do which suit her quiet, peaceful, and thoughtful personality.
