ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Queen (Snow White)

Okay kiddo, so you know the story of Snow White and how she had to run away from her evil stepmother who was a queen, right? Well, this queen was very vain, which means she thought she was very pretty and wanted everyone to think so too.

One day, she asked a magic mirror who the fairest (prettiest) of them all was, and the mirror said it was Snow White. This made the queen very angry and jealous because she wanted to be the prettiest. So, she ordered a huntsman to take Snow White to the woods and kill her.

But the huntsman couldn't do it, so he let Snow White go and told her to run away and never come back. Meanwhile, the evil queen found out that Snow White was still alive and decided to take matters into her own hands.

She disguised herself as an old woman and gave Snow White a poisoned apple, which put her into a deep sleep. Luckily, a prince came along and woke her up with a kiss and they lived happily ever after.

So, the queen in Snow White was a very mean person who cared too much about how she looked and was willing to do some very bad things to stay the fairest of them all. But in the end, kindness and love won out over vanity and jealousy.
