Answer the following guide questions:

1. Compare the two kingdoms in the story

The Moors, a wonderful and enchanted land populated by
fairies and other mystical beings, and the human kingdom,
governed by King Stefan, are the two kingdoms in the
narrative. In contrast to the human kingdom, which is marked
by aspiration, fear, and industrialization, the Moors stand for
nature, beauty, and enchantment. These dramatic contrasts
in culture and morals serve as the backdrop for the struggle
shown in the movie.

2. Why did Estefan betray Maleficent?

Estefan's enormous ambitions and desire for power led to his
betrayal of Maleficent. He spotted a chance to win the King's
favor by taking Maleficent's wings, which he regarded as
something of value. Maleficent's transformation into the
malevolent figure we are familiar with from the timeless
"Sleeping Beauty" tale was brought about by this act of
betrayal.
3. Why did Maleficent bring curse to the infant princess?
As payback for King Estefan's betrayal, Maleficent cursed the
young princess, Aurora. On her 16th birthday, she cursed
Aurora, causing her to go into a profound slumber that could
only be broken by the kiss of true love. The curse was
Maleficent's means of ensuring that Estefan would endure the
same suffering and loss as she had when he stole her wings.
4. Why did an earthshaking war break out between
Maleficent and King Estefan?
Due to their strong feelings against each other, Maleficent and
King Estefan started a world-shattering conflict. Estefan's
betrayal and extremeness mad Maleficent, and Estefan saw
Maleficent as a challenge to his authority. This rivalry resulted
in a crucial conflict as Maleficent tried to save Aurora from
 being cursed and keep her from getting married to Prince
Phillip, who was heir to King Estefan's throne.

5. Write a single paragraph reflection on the video in relation

to building a just society.

In the effort to create a just society, the film emphasizes the

significance of empathy, comprehension, and addressing the
underlying causes of societal problems. It highlights how
deeply rooted discrimination and inequalities in society may
sustain continuous discrimination and unfairness. It is
essential that we acknowledge the human stories hidden
behind the numbers and participate in open communication
to close the gaps of miscommunication in order to build a
society with greater justice and compassion. In order to create
a just society, it is necessary to actively work to solve the root
causes of the problems, promote togetherness, and encourage
diversity and justice for everyone.
