説明
This study aims to examine the maternal figures in the Winnie-the-Pooh stories: the novels by A. A. Milne as well as the adaptation films by Disney production. This study primarily focuses on Kanga as the only maternal figure, who is also the only female character in this story. As Finch (2000) indicates, Kanga is "an archetypal example of maternal instinct" in Milne's original stories. Kanga is portrayed as an affectionate mother who is sometimes overprotective of her son Roo. She prefers to constantly take care of her son and the other characters. Crews (2001) articulates harsh criticism on the portrait of Kanga: "Her speech never waves from the blandest and most cloying 'motherese'…" Milne describes Kanga as a mother who dotes on her child and devotes herself to childcare and housework. The problem with such a portrait is that it projects a stereotypical image of a maternal figure, and it seems to dictate what a mother should be. By comparing the images of Kanga in the adaptations mainly produced after the 2000s, this study aims to examine the maternal figures as adapted to the modern era of the 21st century.
