The deep love that the Little Mermaid will feel for the Prince, will make her shine like the moon. A pair of high-heeled shoes are the conjunctive ring which begins as the Prince’s boat, and is later torn apart in the wreckage, producing two shoes the mermaid will keep as a memento. She will wear those shoes when she gains a pair of legs, and they will become the vehicle of her journey towards feminity. At the end of the show, the dolls and the message of love and self-sacrifice will be discussed with the children.
