Character Analysis
Maleficent
Maleficent resembles her mother Hermia,
who was a beautiful faerie with long, dark locks, a tall, human-sized frame and
magnified black wings. Her eyes inherited from her father, Lysander whose eyes
sparkled like glowing Jade pools. Maleficent believed in her late parents hope
that there are good humans and they could also have a good relationship with
them to live in peace and harmony. Maleficent’s first love was Stefan, a human,
whom she trusted and treasured because she taught that he was the one whom her
parents waited for. Her dream never lasted long. The humans attacked the moor.
Inspite of the relationship with the humans, she stood-up for Moors, her
motherland and even risked her life to protect them. Maleficent took the
responsibility for the Moors. She fought against the king like a faerie warrior
with gigantic feathered claws. She was very determined that the Moors cannot be
captivated by anyone. After this fight, Maleficent was disheartened by the
human behavior and she feared that this attack may affect her relationship with
Stefan. Therefore, she left the moors and she also thought that her wedding
with Stefan will be a truce for such an unfriendly situation. Maleficent
believed Stefan and went out of the Moors for the sake of her true affection towards
Moors and Stefan. But a news came that Maleficent’s wings were stolen by
Stefan, the human to get the throne. Even though the part of the cut off wings
was painful, the most deepest wound was the betrayal of her so called love, Stefan.
This pain of disloyalty changed the good faerie to an evil one. Maleficent, now
so-called evil faerie with dark look returned to the moors. She created a thorn
wall around the moors. This symbolizes that she covered her true-self with a
rough and harsh outlook. She came to know that the king, Stefan is christening
his daughter, Aurora. She cursed his
beloved daughter and then when Stefan pleaded, she gave a remedy which Stefan
didn’t possess, a True love’s kiss. Even though, she had made herself rough and
tough outside, her kindness is revealed by her heart when he pleaded. She never
expressed that in her face. If she was really such an evil person she would
have left the place but, she gave a solution to Stefan. The pixies took baby
Aurora to the cottage, thinking that Maleficent would not find them. But,
Maleficent accompanied them. Baby Aurora started to cry in hunger but pixies
never knew how to feed Aurora. The baby stopped its cry and slept suddenly
because of Maleficent. She was with Aurora but never revealed her face to her.
But Aurora knew that her faerie Godmother was with her always. After eight
years, an unexpected war happened where Aurora was also there. Maleficent made
a note that Aurora should not be afraid and made her to float in her dream. Maleficent
made Aurora to feel the vision of her dream. Her experience made her hesitant
to believe in a human again, because Aurora was Stefan’s daughter , Maleficent
feared that his greed would have inherited in her. But Maleficent couldn’t
resist the absence of Aurora , so she goes to Aurora and takes her to the moors. Maleficent enjoyed seeing
Aurora playing in the moors. Earlier Maleficent used to think twice before she
spoke to Aurora but, later she answered to her questions immediately. Maleficent taught Aurora new things about
moors everyday. No longer Maleficent can hold the truth that she was the one
who cursed Aurora. Aurora wished to stay with Maleficent but unexpectedly the
pixies had revealed the truth that Aurora has been cursed. Hearing the truth,
she ran to the castle to see her father. Maleficent knew that if Aurora went to
the castle, the curse will definitely catch hold of her and so, she tried to
stop her but she failed in her attempt. When Maleficent found Aurora, it was
too late because already she was in her death sleep. Maleficent cried her heart
out and kissed her forehead. The curse upon Aurora was vanished and Maleficent
realized her mistake when she met Aurora and found that she was not harmful but
somehow reflected her own self. She herself recognized that she loved Aurora
and she can’t live without her only when she came to know that she will be no
more. She was the one who gave Aurora a second birth. This is the nature of
Maleficent. Even though she is dark , harsh and cold , deep inside her was the
true love which no one possessed. The Curse of hatred paved a way to identify
the true motherly love within Maleficent.
Aurora
Aurora
wanted to see and meet new people as she grew only with her aunts, nature, the
shadow of her godmother and a bird. She was left alone by herself mostly. She
had a thirst to explore the moors. Her curiosity raised to see what is there
behind the moors. Aurora started to realize that her true place is in the moor,
the faerie realm rather than with human beings. She began to see her feelings
of the world into two parts such as human and faerie. Though she is a human,
her attraction turned towards nature. She admired the night in the moor, that
strolled among the faeries and their stories. She experienced a different
atmosphere which made her to enjoy each thing in the moor. She had a great
attachment with the faeries and she also connected emotionally with them as a
family. She had love for nature and she also loved the change of seasons.
Aurora wandered the woods exclaiming the beauty in every tree and she also
wished to be a tree. She had not felt all alone, because she loved the forest
very much. She was delighted to sleep in trees, eat and live with faeries as
friends. It depicted her true feeling for fairy land. She considered it as her
best days of young life. Aurora thought that her faerie godmother kept her safe
and watched over her from childhood. She did not get scared of the mysterious
place for the first time. As she spent time in the Moors, she grew affectionate
towards Maleficent. Aurora claimed her godmother as a friend .When Aurora met
Prince Phillip, her heart flustered, but she remembered Moors. When
she became aware of her past, happiness shattered and everything seemed
different to her. She ran to her faerie godmother whom she trusted very much
but felt like being pricked by thousand needles when she was revealed with the
fact that it was Maleficent who was behind the curse. Everything seemed to be a
lie to her. Her aunts were not her true relatives and her parents were alive.
She emotionally broke and realized that her world is packed with full of lies.
Aurora stumbled to whom she can believe and reach out, so she took a horse to
see her father and mother. At the entrance of the palace, Aurora saw large iron
thorns which was filled with grief and horror. Darkness over shaded the whole
place and she did not feel any bond like the moors. Aurora stood in front of
her father and hugged him where she felt the warmth of him that was represented
by the hard and cold heavy iron armor. As she asked numerous questions, Stefan
asked the servants to lock her up in the room. She broke down, when she came to
know about her mother who has died long before. She felt like a caged bird who
wanted to ask about her mother to her father who was very strange. She felt a
great regret towards the death of her mother and felt like to be held on her
arms which would never happen again. She realized all the happenings, anger and
disappointments that was directed towards Maleficent. Her curse started to
react and Aurora realized that her father didn’t announce her return. She
didn’t want to disturb him against his wish and so she wanted to help her
finger. She found a spinning wheel to get relieved for a moment and fell asleep
eternally. The curse was fulfilled. For Aurora, the palace was not like a home
rather it was an odd, dark and caged place with strange people and things. Aurora
realized that Maleficent has not done any harm to her. She was sad and dismal
of her father who wanted to destroy Maleficent. She was ultimately happy
because only the kiss of Maleficent had woke her up to lift the curse. She
received the love of a mother through Maleficent. When Maleficent and Stefan
waged in a war, Aurora entered into a room where Maleficent’s majestic wings
were kept. Aurora was heartbroken to know Maleficent's source of pain and the
real motive of her father and so she realized that it was his fault that she
was cursed by Maleficent. She used all her strength to push the case that
contained the wings in order to make Maleficent regain her power. Thus, Aurora
realized the motherly love of Maleficent.
King
Stefan
Stefan,
as a small boy living in barn entered the realm of the moor hiding inside the
bush for taking a stone from the pool and to guard himself from the creatures
in the moor. He refused to come out when Balthazar asked him. When Maleficent
asked him to come out he was deprived by the creatures of the moor. He
criticized their looks by saying in a disposition of resistance in his tone.
Here, his thought of judging things by looking at the outer appearance and his
act of forgetting to know their true self depicts the human nature which deprives
one’s value in recognizing people around them that made to feel shallow of that
person. It represents the aftermath of every day real life in this world of
judging people. He also blamed them as
they wanted to kill him. It portrays the human kind of thinking which one has
as the solution for solving problems in life. Stefan also wished and dreamt to
live in a castle when he saw the stone fortress. His self-desire of wanting to
go there glowed in his face with a set of determination or motive. The notion towards the thought of attaining to
live there portrayed his life’s desire and the first step towards his ambition.
This statement stands as a step for him to enter into the palace after he had a
chance to become a king. He cut away Maleficent’s wings which represented her
greatest magic inspite of his two years of love because of his ambition and
greed to make way to the palace which is his dream. His blindness for power
betrayed his love towards Maleficent. Stefan’s realization to live and gain the
power in the palace has turned him to be a tragic villain of the novel. His
chance to realize his mistake was greater, but he failed to recognize it. Stefan,
as a king with majestic look of dark wavy hair, a broad shoulder and a
sun-kissed complexion is found trembled with anxiety when Maleficent entered
the court on the christening day of his daughter, Aurora. He stopped her
because of his guilt of what he has done to her and knew that things were going
to become complex and worse. When Maleficent came across him he was surprised
from the thought of her power because he has taken away the greatest wings from
her but, still he was afraid that Maleficent would avenge him. It is observed
that he has realized that he has done wrong to her but does not think of
rectifying it. Hatred is the only thing that flopped in his nerves instead of a
guilt. When Maleficent bestowed a curse upon Aurora, Stefan started to beg her
mortally with pain because of his love and affection towards his new born
daughter. It represents Stefan’s betrayal towards Maleficent. He stood sighed in clenching his jaw which
represents a stress or anxiety against the situation which made him not to do
anything though he was the king of a fortress. As Stefan asked for a cure,
Maleficent pointed out his mistake to
make him realize in a satirical tone to knock out his desire and ambition by
saying that only a true kiss can vanish the curse. The action of Stefan to
destroy all the spinning wheels in the kingdom made him realize that there is
no true love in earth. He did not try to love his daughter or wife truly
instead he planned to take Maleficent faraway. He did not have the confidence
in him to love oneself truly. This version of Stefan is set in a pessimistic
way where he always neglected the goodness in his path. When Maleficent came to
save Aurora, Stefan ordered the soldiers to kill Maleficent without any gratitude.
This attitude depicts the cruel beast like nature of Stefan. His aim to live in
the fortress paved way to gain the throne to kill Maleficent. Even though he
got a chance to kill Maleficent, he did not perform it because of the prick in
his conscience. His humane nature, made him to leave Maleficent alive. His
greediness, thinking, and realization made him to be a character of ambition.
James was the king of human kingdom. He
is the father of Princess Leila and the grandfather of Aurora. He seemed to be
very powerful in nature. His ambitious nature reveals the fact that he wanted
the humans to be powerful. This can be seen when he promised to give his throne
to the one who killed Maleficent.

son of King John and Queen Ingrith. He met princess Aurora in the forest whom

Maleficent. He admired and appreciated Maleficent’s actions at the same time,
he felt sorry for the character change in Maleficent while she undergoes
betrayal of Stefan’s love.

Maleficent. At first, Maleficent rescued a raven from a trouble and later transformed
it into a man. She named him as Diaval. Diaval was regarded as the caretaker
and loyal servant of Maleficent. He served as the wings of Maleficent throughout the novel. Diaval was a good
looking tall man and his face was full of markings with feather’s cut. Diaval's
relationship with Maleficent started when she faced the betrayal of Stefan.
Maleficent turned Diaval into a human so that she would be able to converse
with him. Diaval also looked after Aurora with more care as Maleficent. When
Aurora met Prince Philip, Diaval was the one who realized him as her true love
and felt happy that the curse of Aurora was going to end soon.
Hermia
and Lysander
Hermia was a beautiful faerie with long
and dark hair. She also had beautiful wings. Lysander was a person who admired
nature which reflects in the character of his daughter, Maleficent. They wished
to create a peaceful environment in which their daughter would grow. They
wanted to have a friendly relationship with humans. They lived in a fair folk
which was filled with harmony of nature. It was a magical place of wealth.
Since they had a cordial relationship with humans, their daughter Maleficent
too had a strong faith towards human and longed to speak with them. On contrary
to their thoughts, the humans killed Hermia and Lysander and so Maleficent
became an orphan.

transformed herself from the guardian faerie to evil faerie, these three pixies
got out of the Moors and decided to live a luxurious life in the castle. On the
christening of the baby princess Aurora, all the three faeries were frightened
of Aurora but Knotgrass came forward to protect Aurora and warned Maleficent
not to come close to the baby. Even though she knew that her efforts are
inadequate to stop Maleficent from harming the baby, she volunteered herself to
save the baby. Thus, she is courageous in nature. After the malediction, the king ordered
the pixies to take-away the baby where Maleficent could not find and not to bring
her back before completing her sixteenth birthday. He also asked them not to
use their powers. They were so disciplined that even after knowing that the
king cannot find them, they did not use their powers. Knotgrass may have a cold
character but she had many good virtues that everyone should possess.

very cheerful and spoke from her heart without even thinking. The three pixies
decided to gift baby Aurora. But when Thistlewit was about to give her magical

The role of Feminism
and Ecofeminism in the novel
Elizabeth
Rudnick tries to describe how women can be induced easily by love. She has also
described how disappointment and an act of betrayal can lead a person to live a
rude and unhappy life. Maleficent is described as the protagonist of the novel.
She can also be considered as a round and dynamic character who is feministic
in nature. She started to realize that there must be good human who can save
the nature and so she considers Aurora to be one of the best ones to save
nature. Throughout the novel, Maleficent begins to realize and change herself
as she regrets her mistakes. Aurora also plays a role of ecofeminist throughout
the novel. She loves to spend her time in Moors rather in the Human kingdom
which inturn makes Maleficent to crown her as the Queen of Moors at the end of
the novel. Thus, the aspect of feminism and Ecofeminism is revealed through
Maleficent and Aurora throughout the novel.
Writing Style
In this novel, Elizabeth Rudnick uses a descriptive style in her
writing; the construction of characters in her work makes us to see the real
world through our own imagination of the place, people, things, concepts, etc. Mostly
there is personification of nature through the human characters. Many literary
devices are also employed in this fantasy fiction. Here, the author describes
the reality of the society as a story. Usage of language is very simple with appropriate
diction and familiar vocabulary. The tone of the novel is very emotional
reaching out to various optimistic emotions and also has a perspective to lot
of thoughts. The mode of the novel varies from in different ways that primarily
ranges from feeling excited to frustration followed by an elation to enragement
that is further experienced by a sudden change of happiness, peace and
surprise. Thus, we could see a lot of mode change in the novel. The narration
is done by both the characters and the narrator. The narrator also changes the
story by including some parts but at the same time all the point of view of the
characters are shown in a well-versed manner. This novel consists of five parts
with twenty chapters to understand the story more clearly as well as to
understand the story of different characters elaborately in order to avoid
confusion. The story is ended with a happy note where the readers are inspired
to learn a lot of morales. Theme is conveyed in a larger scale where we can
find that true love exists and it does not expect anything in return. We can
explore a lot of transformation in the characters because of betrayal, revenge
and hatred but all got pacified through love which made the negative qualities
to become immoral in the novel. The sentences were short and concise which
makes it even more comprehend to read. Most importantly the story is written in
active voice which does not make the sentence complicated and is more directed.
Moral
