"A liar who agrees that I am only a rich, hot prize to be won? GO JUMP OFF A BALCONY! Oh, you have a magic carpet? Never mind, let me hop on that!" Until, of course, Aladdin whips out his magic carpet (no metaphor intended) and Jasmine instantly turns into the materialistic, shallow person that she's been insulting others for being this whole film. I won't fault him for that, growing up poor all his life must really take his toll, but does he need to bring someone else down with him? If what he assumes is true, that Jasmine IS shallow and only wants rich, handsome men, why would Aladdin, the boy who wants to prove that there's so much more to him, degrade himself and act as an impostor just to win a girl he assumes has shallow morals? My only assumption is that because as he previously repeats in the movie, he thinks being rich will solve all his problems. Even though he knew her when he thought she was also poor, finding out she was a princess illogically and immediately changed his view on her.Ģ. This is a shallow assumption for Aladdin to make, and shows he didn't listen to a word Jasmine said while they were talking at his hut. This means Aladdin is just automatically assuming that because Jasmine is a princess, because of her royalty, she must be shallow and only want the finest of men. You met Jasmine in the marketplace and SHE ALMOST KISSED YOU WHEN SHE KNEW YOU WERE A STREET RAT, YOU MORON. "If Jasmine found out I was some crummy street rat, she'd laugh at me."ġ. After referring to Jasmine as a prize to be won, Jasmine overhears and angrily scorns them for treating her as such.Ĭut to Aladdin talking to the genie. Aladdin grins his cocky-boy grin and enters the castle, charming the Sultan immediately. Jasmine is shown to be totally unimpressed by the big parade, rolling her eyes and scoffing at its grandiosity. Princess-in-disguise Jasmine is about to kiss street rat Aladdin.Ĭut to Aladdin dressed up as a Prince approaching the town. They have a cute moment and nearly kiss, when they're broken up. She discusses how she's getting forced to get married and how awful it is. "Oh sure, people who tell you where to go, and how to dress." Although Jasmine doesn't explicitly state that she is a princess, she does hint that it's not an enjoyable life. Scenario: Aladdin sees Jasmine in the marketplace, falls for her, brings her back to his poor-boy hut, and together they have a heart to heart about how they feel trapped by their situations.
