Moral Of The Story?
The Queen is a true example of a negative character – jealous, vindictive, selfish and cold. She is very arrogant and will do anything to get what she set her mind to, even if it requires human sacrifice.
Jealous of Snow White's beauty, the wicked queen orders the murder of her innocent stepdaughter, but later discovers that Snow White is still alive and hiding in a cottage with seven friendly little miners. Disguising herself as a hag, the queen brings a poisoned apple to Snow White, who falls into a death-like sleep that can be broken only by a kiss from the prince.

The Danger Of Vanity
The evil queen wants Snow White dead as she cannot accept the fact she is not the most beautiful woman in the kingdom. This vanity destroys her in the end.
Vanity - inflated pride in oneself or one's appearance. Usually viewed as a negative, it is one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
The framework of the deadly sins is used to help people curb their evil inclinations before they can fester, with specific focus on pride and greed, thought to be the sins that sever the soul from grace, the very essence of evil, with these two underlying all other sins.

Shine Bright Like Snow White
The concept of real beauty is another theme discussed in this story. The evil queen may be beautiful on the outside, but she is wicked and ugly on the inside. In contrast, Snow White is beautiful both inside and outside.
Throughout the story, Snow Whites kindness and pure heart helps her defeat injustice. She doesn’t have a bit of wickedness in her, so it’s easy to deceive her because she’s a bit naive. Even so, the good people around her keep her safe, she gets her happy ending.
The queen is not as beautiful as Snow White because her heart is not pure. Real beauty comes from within.
