You might think that beauty is only portrayed in only adult movies or commercials but if you think about it they portray it in fairy tales as well. To me i don't think the authors know about this but on the second thought they might. Think about it do people sell beauty products with fairy tale characters? Well they do and what the producer is trying to do is make little girls think that they could be as beautiful as the fairy tale character by selling make-up or glitter etc. Liz Grauerholz at the Western Illinois University was studying how beauty is written about in fairy tales and whether stories with beautiful princesses and more likely to be popular. And also said that "Fairy tales, which are still read by millions of American children, say it pays to be pretty." That there makes kids want to be more beautiful but they don't know what kind of price it comes with. Now kids just think that the price is money, but when it really symbolizes pain and suffering. What i think the fairy tale authors are doing is a really bad way of telling people to change i think that the authors should make the morale of the story to be that beauty is only in the inside not the out!
