Why is the Queen jealous of Snow White's looks, when she looks better?


Charlize Theron is a lot prettier than Kristen Stewart, at least to me. So perhaps having Theron play a villain that is suppose to be uglier was bad casting?

It is just about physical looks. It's about the person and Snow White had a beautiful soul. And she was beautiful there's no denying it.

The mirror usually told the Queen that she was "the fairest of them all" in the realm. So when suddenly she was told someone had come of age who was fairer, she was taken aback. Before she could react further, the mirror also told her Snow White's emergence was the reason her powers (Queen Ravenna's) were fading -- and that if she held Snow White's heart in her hand, she would gain immortality without having to consume youth to maintain it. So it was more than jealousy, Snow White's death (her heart) was the Queen's ticket to spending all eternity with her youthful beauty intact.

Personally I believe Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart are both stunningly beautiful women.

Rest in peace, Roger Ebert. You were the best.
