Jordan Peterson’s ”The Snow White Disney Doesn’t Want You To Know | EP 558,” offers a deep dive into the symbolism and archetypes present in the Snow White fairy tale. It discusses the Evil Queen as a representation of the ”devouring mother” and pathological aspects of femininity. The narrative explores Snow White’s journey as an isolated young woman who must learn to ”serve the dwarfs,” symbolizing stable, productive patriarchy, to escape the queen’s destructive influence. The analysis suggests that this service is necessary for her protection prior to finding a prince and establishing a stable partnership. Ultimately, he interprets the story as a developmental one, highlighting Snow White’s move from a pathological order into the unknown where she finds protection.
