ABSTRACT
Disney being one of the most influential media giants in the world, attracting both young and adults equally and creating memorable characters for almost 80 years, has introduced some memorable villain characters. But interestingly, the projection of male and female villains is rather different and often questionable. This paper aims to investigate how the evil characters have an unequal projection in terms of their gender roles.
KEYWORDS
