Those Who Defy Their Fate: How Princess Tutu rejects traditional narratives

Princess Tutu pays tribute to various classic ballets and fairy tales while simultaneously weaving a new fairy tale-like story that upends gender roles and rejects the archetypal tragic narrative. In doing so, it embraces feminist ideals of individual freedom, rebellion against archaic tradition, and the construction of a new, more liberating society.
