[quote="AladdinsGenie"]But I still don't understand how that makes her spoiled :lol:. I guess our definitions are different because If I have some issues with a part of my life that I was born into, that will affect me for the rest of my life and pretty much be who I am, it makes me spoiled because I'm choosing not to just succumb without any questioning of it and without going "hey, hi, remember me? I am the one going through this. Don't I get some say in my life?" She knows she has a duty. I'd hope that was something that was brought up long before the week of her birthday :lol:, but I think she came to a crossroads where it came down to continue to have people make all your decisions and marry just anyone even if she didn't love the guy just to carry out her duty, or start taking control of her own life no matter what--including if she even [i]wants[/i] to get married--and she felt the only way to do that was to completely leave that life. It may not have been the best of decisions, but she made it and I can't call her spoiled for that. Maybe a bit irrational, but you do that when you're upset :lol:. She wasn't planning on going back, yes, but I reeeeeally doubt she would have made it far without being found after they realized she was gone. So it was a nice try, but I think somewhere deep inside she knew she was going back; she was just boasting in front of Aladdin :lol:.
 
I completely agree she was running away for herself, but I can't help but feel there's more to it than just that. If that was the case, that she did it because she was doing it just for herself and nothing else, I think she would have reacted to that a while ago because that seems to be an issue that has been going on for a long time. For a rich teenager that's the only child to the heir of the throne of the entire city, she has managed to not end up being a pretentious snob, probably because she rejected a lot of that pampered life that comes with the title and seems really annoyed with people who really indulge in it. She's not crazy about it, but she put up with it. To me, she doesn't seem to really get that push that finally causes her to go over the edge until after Sultan's chat with her reminding her the law really doesn't care about her feelings or personal needs.

She's said so herself that she was raised a princess and the needs of the people outweigh her own, and while I don't think she was fully wanting to accept that responsibility in the beginning (she can't even take care of her own needs for herself as a person, how is she suppose to take responsibilties for being a princess that includes herself and other people's needs? Talk about pressure :lol:), I have a hard time thinking that responsibility is something she completely ignored all her life. I think she learned more about what it meant as she was able to take more control of her life and actually be among the people she's going to one day rule over, but I guess I am looking at the personal aspect of it and you're looking at the technical side, which was the conflict in the movie to begin with :lol:[/quote]
