All right, first off a little history about myself. When I was a little girl I used to enjoy the little mermaid. Ariel was actually one of my प्रिय डिज़्नी princesses/movies.
Now that I am older however, I have just recently watched the little mermaid one, two and the third movie which is Ariel's beginning.
I couldn't believe what an awful role model she is and how selfish she is. I searched on the internet to find others with my similar view on her and I stumbled across this लेख here: link
My लेख here is solely debunking everything this particular person is going on about and finally displaying my evidence as to why Ariel is a selfish and poor role model.
The argument begins with Persephone713 explaining that people are using the word ‘selfish’ wrongly and that anyone who says so is not a true Ariel fan. I’d like to clear up right away that I am not an Ariel प्रशंसक simply because I do not like characters who are bad people.
I used to enjoy her, yes, when I was a naive child who couldn’t see through all the fancy songs and cinematic stimulation. But I’ve grown and I’m not blinded द्वारा ‘hate’ या ‘loyalty’ in my new opinion of her.
Selfish means: “One who is devoted to caring for oneself and ones interests, regardless of others.”
Ariel displays her selfishness the very first early stages of her life. (Ariel’s Beginning) She deliberately disobeys her father’s order throughout the entire movie all because she’s ‘bored’ and wants to have ‘fun’.
1.) In the beginning of the movie, Ariel (15) is bored and complains about wanting to do something else instead of just walking with her family which they do every morning as a tradition. Her sisters are against her idea because they don’t want to get in trouble. So, she tries to bring it up with her father, but when she’s denied that she goes ahead and fools around anyways. Despite potentially getting her sisters in trouble. Why did she do this? Because it’s not about what her sisters want या her father it’s about what she wants.
2.) Another example is when Ariel stumbles across the संगीत club and promises that she won’t tell anyone. But the very same दिन she returns घर she’s tells ALL of her sisters. She does so because ‘she’ wants to share that with them and she doesn’t even THINK about her promise to the other members of the club या what would happen if they were caught. Which is 10,000% और likely when it involves every single one of King Triton's daughters.
3.) In the end because of her ignorance and selfish wants. Everyone eventually gets caught and all the band members are put in prison and the rest of her sisters are confined to the castle. Which she shows absolutely no remorse या regret for. Instead she attacks her father on his decision and brings up their mother... which is an excruciatingly painful subject for Triton.
All of her sisters can see the damage she caused their father and they all दिखाना that they care द्वारा telling her to stop because she’s making things worse. Ariel’s older sister Attina tells her that she just doesn’t know when to quit. But despite upsetting all of them and even her father... Ariel selfishly runs away because she can’t get what she wants from her father या her sisters. She LEAVES... all the while knowing how much she means to her father and that he had already suffered through the loss of his wife.
4.) Only at the end of the movie when Sebastian showed her the trinket that belonged to her parents, did she finally दिखाना some resemblance of care for her father and what he was going through. And even then she didn’t feel sorry for what all she had done and all the trouble she had caused. Instead she decided that she needed to दिखाना her father the trinket in order to bring back the ‘happiness he lost’ which is a very ignorant thought.
In fact Ariel does not achieve anything throughout this movie with the exception of getting her selfish want of संगीत and a break in the boring, routine, structure her strict father had placed upon her and her sisters in Atlantica. The only reason her father changes his mind is due to the fact that Ariel is hit द्वारा torpedo-Marina and knocked unconscious thus causing King Triton to relive the death of his wife. I would go so far to say that it had nothing to do with the trinket and everything to do with a new found FEAR within the King that he may lose his rebellious fifteen साल old daughter if he doesn’t give in to her desires and whims.
5.) Which brings us to the अगला movie: The Little Mermaid. It takes place a साल later with Ariel now 16 years old and being completely absent to the hugely important concert, that she was staring in, taking place at that very moment. Sebastian even states that Ariel never even bothers to come to rehearsals. Ariel is no longer interested in the संगीत that she had fought so hard for just a साल ago. If आप will that was ‘so yesterday’ and now her newest interest was the humans and their trinkets. We see the exact same scenario playing out again as she sings about the stuff she has collected and how it isn’t enough—she wants more. She wants to be up there with the humans which is, ironically, the सेकंड thing her father has forbidden within the kingdom. Now is it just me या is this starting to REALLY sound like a rebellious teenager who wants all of the things that her daddy says ‘no’ to?
6.) Ariel is seen with her friend Flounder, who she’s seen clearly bullying and manipulating to have her own way which is to explore the ship. फ़्लॉन्डर, अशुद्धि is clearly frightened and just wants to leave, and Ariel’s solution is to और या less scare him into continuing to follow her.
link
Now I’ve seen arguments of others saying that she does care for her friend because when the शार्क is attacking she goes back for him. We’ll I’m here to explain, that is completely invalid because SHE was the one who put him in that position in the first place. Why? Because SHE wanted to explore the ship. It wasn’t about the safety of her friend, that is not what mattered to her.
7.) अगला is when she remembers the संगीत कार्यक्रम and returns to her father. She apologizes, but her sincerity isn’t there. Through her expression and how she lashes out moments after being scolded, दिखाना that she didn’t really care. She didn’t care that her father, her sisters and Sebastian were completely humiliated द्वारा her absence.
link
link
Even as Sebastian scolds her further she has the same uncaring expression. It’s like she’s treating the whole thing as a joke and doesn’t see why they are getting on her case so badly. She ‘forgot’ and कहा she was ‘sorry’ wasn’t that enough to put the whole thing behind them.
8.) फ़्लॉन्डर, अशुद्धि comes to her rescue at that point and tries to protect her, but accidently speaks of the seagull getting her और in trouble and she has the nerve to get momentarily angry at him.
link
Then she has the audacity after what she’s done with the संगीत कार्यक्रम to snap at her father and treat his concern again like it wasn’t a big deal. That she’s old enough to take care of herself and for him to और या less get off her back. Which is extremely selfish दिया the fact that the reason why her father has forbid interacting with humans is because her mother was KILLED द्वारा humans. But that of course doesn’t at all matter to her. What matters is simply what she wants.

link
9.) Now to debunk a few things कहा in that other article. The person who wrote it कोट्स Ariel saying “If I become human I will never get to be with my father या sisters again.” This supposedly means she cares deeply for them. But this is the only time in the entire movie आप see her think about that and to चोटी, शीर्ष it off after she says that Ursula tells her that she’ll have her man and that life is full of tough choices. In the end Ariel picks a man she’s only ever met once and never looks back.
10.) This one irks me the most. The person quoted Ariel saying “Daddy I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. I DIDN’T KNOW.” Which is a ball faced lie. Ursula explained the ENTIRE scenario to Ariel and she KNEW 100% that Ursula was an evil witch. But she went ahead anyways to get what SHE wanted and didn’t care about the consequences या how it would affect everyone around her. She was just thinking about herself. The end.
Conclusion:
I am not saying Ariel didn’t care at all about anyone around her, but I am saying that she is selfish and caused a lot of damage to get what she want. It doesn’t matter if everything worked out in the end of the फिल्में because that is simply placed there for the desired ‘happy ending’.
It also doesn’t matter if she sincerely कहा “I प्यार आप daddy” at the end of the movie because ACTIONS speak much louder than words.
Ending Notes:
I’m sure people will argue over stupid things and nit-pick at this and that. But the evidence is all there throughout those two फिल्में she was the main character in. आप just need to open your mature little minds to see it.

My opinion changes a lot almost weekly but every few months I update my प्रिय डिज़्नी Princess list, and I pretty much stick with it, until I update it again. This is my latest update of my डिज़्नी Princess list. Enjoy:)
14. Elsa
Honestly, she was sixth on my डिज़्नी Princess सूची for a while, but I think that was the only length of time I actually liked Elsa. Other than that length of time, I've never really liked Elsa. I mean, I guess I like seeing so many girls relate to her, but I really don't like much about her.
She has a horrible personality, she blames everyone else for her problems,...

Hello Lily!!
Princesses with their voice actress!
Yes, my MBTI posts are back! I've studied the cognitive functions a lot और so they'll be a little different. I have many other डिज़्नी MBTI posts ready on my link so I'll be posting और soon.

Greetings Dracula!
They Should Make a Vampire Princess
I personally think डिज़्नी should take the challenge to make a vampire princess, I mean we already have The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, The Twilight Saga and Anne Rice's vampire stories!
They could make the antagonist inspired from Elizabeth Bathory, in which she is a vain vampire throughout the movie!
The Shouldn't Make a Vampire Princess
It will probably intimidate young children, unless the directors watch Hotel Transylvania for inspiration to make it और family friendly.
Secondly, I hope that the movie is not going to be like the Twilight Saga.
Vampire या Not?
I have always wanted to see a vampire princess for a change, do आप agree?
Hello Bella Swan.
No one shows off his hairy chest like Gaston!
Gaston Gets Turn Into A Beast
This will happen during the climatic battle between the beast and Gaston, I would imagine that the Enchantress will magically appear and turn Gaston into a beast and Prince Adam back into human right in front of Belle!
The Magic Mirror
Since Belle have brought back the magic mirror, it could magically float in the air and review the Beast's true form in front of the mob, Gaston and Belle. Prompting the mob to disband and Gaston ultimately goes to the गढ़, महल alone to fulfill his deadly mission!
What Do आप Think?
So, only two make it through the cut. What do आप think of them?
Lovely shot!
Wow, this has been quite the countdown. We've finally made it to the end where all the winning dresses are pitted against one another to determine the best of the best! Most of the मतदानो were close, but it was lots of fun. Enjoy!

8. Pocahontas's brown dress
Aw, I'm so sad this dress was the first to leave since it's one of my प्रिय out of the winning dresses. I प्यार its unique style. Sadly, प्रशंसकों didn't agree and this dress was deemed to be the worst of the best.
It's not even a dress. ~truth76
I like the shape but the others are far prettier....
