Why I think Ariel From Disney’s Little Mermaid’s Knew What She Was Doing

A SYTYCB Entry

As I was sitting around one day with my friend watching TV, when she turned, looked at me and calmly said, “Ya know…I think Ariel knew what she was doing. That girl had a plan”.

And while I mulled that over, I realized something, “OMG. If she had EBay, she would have so much money!”

What followed was a very awakening reveal about Ariel and possibly an argument that she might be more of a feminist then a hoarder.

My conclusion became this: Ariel wanted to be a human and Eric was just a means to an end. That sounds kinda harsh, but here are my main points:

•  “Part of Your World” is all about her being human. Sure, there’s a line about “When’s it my turn to know love” but its followed by, “to walk on those shores up above”. She doesn’t want to meet a husband, she wants to be independent and have legs
• And that collection! That girl is stockpiling for her own boutique. I do not think she is a hoarder, I think she is planning on reselling
• She sees Prince Eric and her comment, “the handsome one.” Marriage is not on her brain, she’s just checking out a hunky man on a boat
• But when she finds out he’s a prince…Ariel to the rescue! Oh, so convenient that you were nearby to save a Prince
• She saves the Prince who has a castle by the sea! I mean that thing is awesome. She saw that boy and thought, “Humm, be human and live in a craphole or save a prince and live in a seaside castle?”
• That seawitch bargain is for human legs. She just has to have a kiss of true love. Not, marry your true. Just a smooch and legs forever!

Mull it over for a bit. Maybe she is just a teenager obsessed with chatskis, but for me, I think that this little mermaid had a plan. She had a dream and a means and followed through.
