The Effect of Selfishness
in ‘Brave’.
THE ESSAY
Animated movies have become
a favourite for many these days because watching them helps to release tension.
Some examples of famous animated movies are Tangled, Cinderella and Sleeping
Beauty. The latest one is Brave. Here are some of the effects of selfishness
that can be found in the movie which are has created conflict and has caused
fights.
Firstly,
the act of selfishness has created conflict between
father and daughter as well as between mother
and daughter. The conflict between father
and daughter can be shown between Merida and her father who argues about her
mother. Merida told her father that her mother, Queen Elinor has been cursed
and turned into a bear but her father did not believe her so he wanted to kill
the bear.Moreover, conflict also happened
between mother and daughter where Queen Elinor wanted Merida to be a real
princess but she did not listen to her mother. Thus, in this movie,
selfishness has created conflict between father and daughter as well as between
mother and daughter.
Secondly,
being selfish caused the fight that happened between the three kingdoms and among siblings.
The fight between was created because Merida did
not want to choose whose son she wanted to marry. Instead, she volunteered as a
representative for her kingdom in the archery challenge. Besides that, the fight among the siblings is shown in the
scene where the eldest prince wanted to rule the land on his own and that is
the cause of their fights. Hence, being selfish can make rulers of three
kingdoms to fight and siblings to go against one another.
In
conclusion, causing fights and creating conflicts are the effects of
selfishness. One should think before doing something that will fuel people’s
anger. Other than that, one selfish act could ruin an entire kingdom. A leader
must be fair in ruling his or her kingdom to maintain harmony. Furthermore, one
should be rational and wise in making decisions. However, both sides also need
to be considerate and come to an agreement. Thus, one should throw away their
selfishness and be tolerant towards others.
