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 পছন্দ ডিজনি 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 প্রবন্ধ here: link
My প্রবন্ধ 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 অনুরাগী 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 দ্বারা ‘hate’ অথবা ‘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 অথবা her father it’s about what she wants.
2.) Another example is when Ariel stumbles across the সঙ্গীত club and promises that she won’t tell anyone. But the very same দিন she returns প্রথমপাতা 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 অথবা what would happen if they were caught. Which is 10,000% আরো 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 অথবা 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 প্রদর্শনী that they care দ্বারা 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 অথবা 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 প্রদর্শনী 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 প্রদর্শনী 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 সঙ্গীত 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 দ্বারা 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 বছর old daughter if he doesn’t give in to her desires and whims.
5.) Which brings us to the পরবর্তি movie: The Little Mermaid. It takes place a বছর 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 সঙ্গীত that she had fought so hard for just a বছর ago. If আপনি 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 সেকেন্ড thing her father has forbidden within the kingdom. Now is it just me অথবা 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. রাঘববোয়াল is clearly frightened and just wants to leave, and Ariel’s solution is to আরো অথবা 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 হাঙ্গর 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.) পরবর্তি is when she remembers the সঙ্গীতানুষ্ঠান 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, প্রদর্শনী that she didn’t really care. She didn’t care that her father, her sisters and Sebastian were completely humiliated দ্বারা 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 ব্যক্ত she was ‘sorry’ wasn’t that enough to put the whole thing behind them.
8.) রাঘববোয়াল comes to her rescue at that point and tries to protect her, but accidently speaks of the seagull getting her আরো 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 সঙ্গীতানুষ্ঠান 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 আরো অথবা less get off her back. Which is extremely selfish প্রদত্ত the fact that the reason why her father has forbid interacting with humans is because her mother was KILLED দ্বারা humans. But that of course doesn’t at all matter to her. What matters is simply what she wants.
link
link
9.) Now to debunk a few things ব্যক্ত in that other article. The person who wrote it উদ্ধৃতি Ariel saying “If I become human I will never get to be with my father অথবা sisters again.” This supposedly means she cares deeply for them. But this is the only time in the entire movie আপনি see her think about that and to শীর্ষ 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 অথবা 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 চলচ্চিত্র because that is simply placed there for the desired ‘happy ending’.
It also doesn’t matter if she sincerely ব্যক্ত “I প্রণয় আপনি 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 চলচ্চিত্র she was the main character in. আপনি just need to open your mature little minds to see it.
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 thought it was time that I update this list, since my opinions have changed over time!
9. Mulan
Sorry মুলান fans...unfortunetely she is last on my list...that doesn't, however, mean that I don't think she is pretty. She's quite lovely. I just think they played it নিরাপদ with her looks because she had to pass as a boy as well. My পছন্দ feature on her is her long silky hair.

Tiana is very easy on the eyes. Even though she had a humble upbringing and childhood, she is elegant....

I know everyone thinks this, but too bad. I think her only truly beautiful scenes are when she's asleep, and otherwise she looks a bit young, cute at best.

5. Tiana
4. Mulan
3. Ariel
2. Cinderella
1. Aurora/Jasmine
My শীর্ষ is a tie between two differently gorgeous girls. Aurora is generically pretty like Cinderella, but she can pull it off with the slightly different hair color, the style of her hair, and her body. She's gorgeous in every way. জুঁই is incredibly exotic. She has skin somewhere between Tiana and Belle, and it basically is a beautiful, year-round tan. Her hair is silkily black like Pocahontas's, and her body is fantastic. Her eyes are giant, sexy, and brown with thick lashes. She is every Project বিমানের নির্মিত পথ contestant's dream.

I got Wendy :)Pretty well done quiz
আপনি are Wendy. Wendy is a girl who talks আরো than she breathes. However, there's always a treasure somewhere between what her cousin did last বছর and who her পছন্দ actor is. She is the girl আপনি can ask to take out the trash, and she would talk your ear off for an hour. However, Wendy is a caring girl who will one দিন be an ideal mother. Her passion for storytelling keeps her younger বন্ধু captivated until "The End" and she knows it. She doesn't flaunt her talent, though. She is a humble girl with morals. আপনি may have trouble getting a boy friend simply due to your talkative nature, but stop trying and someone will catch আপনি in their net. Your marriage will be one of class, and even though আপনি probably have never thought about doing anything against the rules, আপনি are not against the idea if it strokes your desire for adventure.
