Since it is holiday already, so I have more time to gather the data and publish this article, which is entitled Gender Stereotypes and Performativity in Frozen movie .

She knows that she is beautiful, and that's why she behaves spoiled and arrogant. Everyone loves her, including her mother who is also almost depressed when Kitty refused all marriage proposals from rich and handsome men ...
