Female Apperance

Have you ever read or seen a fantasy story were you imagine a beautiful, elegant princess waitng to be rescued by her one true love? Have you ever compared yourself to her wondering, the way I look I am not going to get a prince charming. My research paper is about how female appearances affect a story line and characters. In which the beauty of a woman seduces a man to make him go through rough challenges to save her. Therefore there has been other cases where the female image is not a lovely view to see, which adds a sinister taste of the tale. The sources I used are mainly films:
