Looking for My Prince Charming Pgs. 543-544


The general argument made by Shalmali Pal is that it is not very easy to find your perfect prince charming.  More specifically this is a story of an Indian girl who can’t find a husband as easily as she thought she could.  She had three suitors and none of them were her prince charming.  She writes, “If I could take elements of my three suitors and fuse them together, maybe I would have the perfect man.”  In this passage Pal is only suggesting that she expects more in her future spouse. She also said that it would be easier if she married an Indian man so that she wouldn’t have to explain things to him. In conclusion, it is Pal’s belief that it is pretty hard to find a prince charming because she is lazy.

In my view I think that it can be hard for some to find their prince charming. I think that Pal had the wrong approach when deciding to be lazy when looking for a spouse.  For example in one of my favorite Disney shows, Beauty and the Beast, Belle is at first frightened by the beast and his hideous outward appearance.  At first the Beast was mean and did not want to be kind because of the way he looked.  Belle showed love towards him and was very persistent and patient with him.  This showed the beast that he too could be kind, and he had a change of heart. Then Belle and the Beast fell in love.  That story is a prime example of how we should not be lazy when searching for someone that we can love and spend our lives with. Although Pal was lazy when choosing a mate, she should not be lazy at all because she needs to find a good husband and being lazy is not the way to do it.   Therefore, I conclude that it may be harder than it looks to find your prince charming, but if you stick with it you will eventually find your true love.
