Hmm, what's worse, your father forcing you to marry or the whole town thinking you're a weirdo? Mm, maybe Jasmine had it easier.

I've been in Belle's situation before, and it was AWFUL!

And Belle's father was viewed as a "lunatic", so that's that.

I also agree with you guys i have been in this situation(still am!) Where people automatically judge you and will never give you a chance...I feel that being waited on hand and foot your whole life really isnt as bad as Jasmine says it is...yeah you dont get to explore but your castles like as big as a city so.

Neither.

Just because Jasmine lived in a castle and was rich doesn't mean she was happy. "Money can't buy happiness." Who cares that she lived in a castle and was rich? She was lonely, her only friend being a tiger, she was being forced to marry, and her father and her didn't seem like the closet pals.
If thats not a hard life, then I don't know what is. I'm not saying it was the hardest, but it wasn't easy like some people see it was.

Belle, well she was considered weird by the whole and her father was considered a lunatic. She wanted adventure "in the great wide somewere."

If I HAD to chose, I guess it would be Belle, but honestly, neither princess had it easy.

Yeah but rmemeber Belle didnt have any firends yeah Jasmine had a tiger but Belle had no one....everyone isolated her calling her strange

^ But she had her father and horse (which is much like a pet).

I'd go with neither too, but if I had to choose, it would still be Jasmine, because I think being talked about behind your back would be harder than having to marry a prince by her sixteenth (was it sixteen?) birthday.

I agree....I dont really think any of the princesses had a necesarily easy life.

But verbal abuse is worse then being forced to marry i mean all the princes seemed nice that came to the palace.But could you imagine Belle having to marry Gaston*Rolls eyes*Ohhh boy! That would have been very bad...

Yes, but there are plenty who had dreams of their own; like Belle and Pocahontas in term of wanting more than just a simple life; Jasmine and Cinderella who just wanted to be free; Tiana and Ariel who know what they want to be; and Mulan who just wanted her family to be proud of her.

I supposed the ones who aren't very outspoken about their dreams (though had had some very difficult challenges throughout their lives) are Snow and Aurora?

I suppose but both were in a since waiting for their prince charming and i thought pochahontas was content with her life...she stayed in the new world instead of going to England in the first movie i always assumed she was happy about her life because she didnt know of any better life.

I guess, but in the song "Steady as the Beating Drum" (where she sang alone), it looked like she always wanted to have adventures, as interpreted by the smooth and rocky rivers. :p

i have to say...jasmine =P

Just Around the Riverbend

I'd rather people thought I was a little weird than be forced to marry someone I don't like.

No one liked Belle...I thought it odd that she fell in love with a talking yak, but...

Though I kind of see SG1-090's point....

Jasmine would have been unhappier in the long run. At least Belle could've married someone of her choosing.

hmm...this is tough...good pick!

I don't think that it was an easy pick, though -- I don't think either of them really had it easy. On the outside, it looked fine, but on the inside, they were both suppressed by gender/class roles they wanted to escape from. So...yeah.
