How to Read Donald Duck

In the article, “How to Read Donald Duck”, it focuses on the comic books from Disney and their relationships. It goes into details of how there are no parental figures and that most of the characters therefore are and will lack that parental role that helps them grow. Since we never see the history of any of the characters so we never see them grow up either. They are made to stay the same age and mind set forever. This article also divulges into male and female roles. While females are used to keep the male characters in line, such as Daisy does to Donald Duck; the male characters are shown to be either domineering, i.e. Uncle Scrooge, or to be completely bullied, i.e. Donald Duck. Since these comics are geared towards children, the author wants the reader to focus on how these types of roles and personalities affect children.
