Summary:
Elizabeth
is a brave princess who goes after the dragon who dares to take the prince before they are wed. She
is determined to rescue and save the prince but in the process ends up with nothing to wear but a
paper bag. After rescuing the prince she discovers that the
prince is ungrateful and realizes she doesn't need him afterall.
Visual Element:
Lines
The Paper Bag Princess shows
expression in the use of lines to show characters emotions and feelings in the
story. The princesses’ exasperation, the dragon’s flight, and the happiness the
princess feels at the end of the story as the sun sits on the horizon.
The princess in the text changes the
traditional role of the main character in a fairy tale. The princess is not rescued by a prince, does
not wear beautiful, expensive gowns and does not live in a luxurious castle.
Also, at the end the princess does not end up with the wealthy, good looking
prince, but happier by herself.
