Han, Sang-Soo, “The Sexual Politics and Political Cruelty in Andersen`s “The Little Mermaid”, “The Brave Tin Soldier”, and “The Red Shoes”.” Modern Studies in English Language & Literature 57.1 (2013): 241-60. This thesis sets out to explore the ideological significance of ``sexual politics`` and ``political cruelty`` by carrying out the demythicization of Andersen`s three classic fairy tales, “The Little Mermaid”, “The Brave Tin Soldier” and “The Red Shoes”. This demythicization of these fairy tales means to identify and expose the ideological operations of patriarchal society out of them. The patriarchal ideology exerts its power by guiding young girls to read the fairy tales, thus, making them docile for the male centered society; the fairy tales are not ``innocent``, but already ``politicized``. The cultural forces of the patriarchy have determined the positions of women subordinated to men. The private areas of love, marriage and dance appear to be ``non-political``. In fact, these areas are the focal points of power that patriarchal sexual politics is most powerfully operating. This thesis is designed to criticize the repressive cruelty and violence of sexual politics rooted in three classic fairy tales. (Hannam University)
