5 Predicament of Satisfaction of Esteem Needs in the Novel Snow White
As Maslow’s statement, at the same period, a person has many kinds of needs. Though in every period, there is always only one kind of needs takes up the preponderant position, any other kinds of needs will not disappear. Each level depends on each other and overlaps. Therefore, though people cannot satisfy their safety needs and belongingness and love needs, they still have esteem needs. And because the first two levels are not satisfied well, the esteem needs cannot be satisfied well, either. As Maslow states, esteem needs can be generally divided into two aspects: self-respect and respect from others. Self-respect mainly refers to a person who desires strength, achievement, confidence independence and freedom. It’s from one’s inner heart. While for the respect from others, it mainly means that a person desires recognition, attention, reputation, status, dominance and appreciation. It’s from the outside world. If a person is very confident and mastery, he can easily get others’ appreciation. In turn, if a person gets others’ recognition, he will become more confident. That is to say, self-respect and respect from others come from the same root, and they influence each other. If this kind of needs can be satisfied well, people will feel confident. But if this level of needs cannot be satisfied, people will easily get the feeling of weakness, helpless or even desperation. In this novel, Snow White, the seven dwarfs, Paul, Hugo and Jane all present the desire for esteem needs. But to their disappointment, they cannot satisfy this level of needs and eventually have to accept the disappointing reality. This part of the
thesis will mainly discuss the predicament of satisfaction of esteem needs for the characters in the novel.
