snow white. It captures her, but she overpowers it by cutting its necklace using the dagger her
father gave her. It is transformed into Snow White’s father who has lost his memory. The king
decides to give Snow Whites in marriage to Prince Alcott as a sign of appreciation. During
her wedding, clementiana poses as an old woman and offers the princess a poisoned apple.
The princess recognizes her and she first gives a piece of the apple to her. Clementiana takes
the piece and she is defeated as the magic mirrors break.
This paper focuses on an analysis of the last scene of this film. It starts with the king
offering a gratitude speech to Prince Alcott and the dwarfs. He acknowledges their help in
fighting the greed of the queen. He also accepts the privilege of joining snow white and the
prince Alcott. The king appreciates his daughters courage and achievement in the fight. The
prince marries the princess and the people present celebrate by offering them gifts. An old
woman appears and offers the princess an apple. She claims that one bite from it will result in
fortunes. Through her words, snow white realizes that the old woman is clementiana. She
knows that nothing good could come from her. She cuts a piece of apple and gives
clementiana who takes it in a hesitant manner. The mirrors in the house of mirrors break
when clementiana eats the apple. Clementiana disappears into the ground. Snow white leads
the people to dancing and they all celebrate.
Several characters featured in this scene. The main character is snow white who is
getting married to Prince Alcott. She is wearing a happy face because she is marrying the
man of her dreams in the presence of her father. In this scene, her goodness overcomes the
evil brought by Clementaina into the kingdom. She comes out as happy because she is
smiling all through the occasion. She loves, judging by the manner in which she kisses Prince
Alcott. She is humble because she invites even the lowly servants into her wedding
ceremony. She does not despise the old woman who offers her an apple despite her rugged
appearance. She is bold because she faces the queen and overcome her evil.
