Some biographers and academics believe Andersen was bisexual.
Although we can’t say for certain what Andersen’s motives for writing ‘The Little Mermaid” were, we can say that some biographers and academics believe Andersen was bisexual, and at the time he wrote the story, he was also writing letters to a male friend expressing his affection for him.It’s important to note that while the Disney film is based on Andersen’s original tale, it’s not quite the same story.
Perhaps most importantly, Andersen’s story doesn’t have the happy ending that Disney princess stories do. In fact, the angsty ending reads as one might expect a jilted lover to write it. Despite this rejection, biographer Jackie Wullschlager wrote in “Hans Christian Andersen: The Life of a Storyteller,” Andersen wouldRictor Norton, an author who focuses on LGBTQ literary history,in his 1998 book “My Dear Boy: Gay Love Letters Through the Centuries,” that the story of Andersen’s life was reflected in “The Little Mermaid.”
Andersen was indeed a prolific writer, and his fairy tales remain highly influential today, many years after his 1875 death. His tales are likely familiar to many who heard them as children, and they continue to be adapted in stage and film productions, including, “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” “The Princess and the Pea,” “The Ugly Duckling,” “The Red Shoes,” and many more.Bellot, Gabrielle. “Dear Internet: The Little Mermaid Also Happens to Be Queer Allegory.
