Snow White is so detached from her own story that she barely even interacts with the two characters who drive it. She never
says a word to her true love, the prince, who she sees once and
instantly falls in love with. While he declares his passion for her
immediately, she, in all her sweet innocence, instantly runs and hides
from him. Quite right, perhaps, since he first appears as a creepy
eavesdropper with a feather in his cap, who appears beside her and joins
her in a duet without invitation, and next appears to kiss the lips of a
beautiful corpse. But the “true love” hardly rings true.
Snow White the the Seven Dwarfs is actually about drugs. According to some theorists,
the story of Snow White is a symbolic representation of the seven
stages of cocaine addiction. ‘Snow White’ is a nickname for the
narcotic, plus names such as Dopey, Sneezy and Grumpy line up with some
of the symptoms.
A beautiful girl, Snow White, takes refuge in the forest in the house of
seven dwarfs to hide from her stepmother, the wicked Queen. The Queen
is jealous because she wants to be known as "the fairest in the land,"
and Snow White's beauty surpasses her own. The dwarfs grow to love their
unexpected visitor, who cleans their house and cooks their meals. But
one day while the dwarfs are at their diamond mine, the Queen arrives at
the cottage disguised as an old peddler woman and persuades Snow White
to bite into a poisoned apple. The dwarfs, warned by the forest animals,
rush home to chase the witch away, but they are too late to save Snow
White from the poisoned apple. They place her in a glass coffin in the
woods and mourn for her. The Prince, who has fallen in love with Snow
White, happens by and awakens her from the wicked Queen's deathlike
spell with "love's first kiss."
