Who? In both the Grimm and Disney versions, her beauty is what motivates the dwarfs and the prince. It's why the huntsman doesn't kill her. For that matter, her beauty is also why the vain queen tries to kill her. Snow White's looks drive the whole plot.
Snow White is a simple story of human interactions, yet there are many potential motivations for caring in a positive or negative way, just as there are many possible good or bad actions people can choose as a value judgement on risk versus reward. There are often many complexities when dealing with human emotions, logic, and the search for love, understanding, self, and position in life and society.

In my view of the world, guided by the love and gifts God has given me, I will choose to value positive, but recognize negative. I will not give in to hate served as a meal for political favor.
The very condition of a deconstruction may be at work in the work, within the system to be deconstructed. It may already be located there, already at work. Not at the center, but in an eccentric center, in a corner whose eccentricity assures the solid concentration of the system, participating in the construction of what it, at the same time, threatens to deconstruct. One might then be inclined to reach this conclusion: deconstruction is not an operation that supervenes afterwards, from the outside, one fine day. It is always already at work in the work. Since the destructive force of Deconstruction is always already contained within the very architecture of the work, all one would finally have to do to be able to deconstruct, given this always already, is to do memory work. Yet since I want neither to accept nor to reject a conclusion formulated in precisely these terms, let us leave this question suspended for the moment.
