Abstract

This study analyzed The Three Little Pigs through the theoretical framework of Maria Tatar’s Moral Development Theory (2009), identifying the consequences of preparation vs. impulsivity, the value of preparation for young audiences, and the role of a narrative device in testing preparedness and impulsivity. The story focuses on the three pigs, who moved out from their parents house to build their own, then the Big Bad Wolf destroyed the first two pig’s houses that were made of sticks and straws, but when it comes to the third pig’s house, the wolf could not destroy it because it was made of stones. The finding reveals: 1) Preparation leads the third pig to safety and success, meanwhile the first two pigs have to experience the consequences of impulsivity which is the wolf’s attack. This outcome demonstrates the moral lesson of the tale: the importance of foresight, diligence, and hard work. The story highlights how careful preparation and effort lead to security and success, while impulsivity and shortcuts result in vulnerability and failure. 2) The narrative’s outcome shows the importance of preparation and how impulsivity can lead to negative consequences. The first two pigs were rushing to construct their homes which resulted in their houses getting destroyed. Meanwhile, the third pig was patient and didn’t rush things which led to the house being safe from the wolf. 3) The big bad wolf serves as a narrative device to test the resilience of the three little pigs’ houses, figuring out who is the best at planning to build.

Abstract

This study uses Hobbes’s Power Theory, The Social Contract Theory, from Leviathan (1651), as the main lens to analyze the movie, Minions: The Rise of Gru. Using a qualitative method of the research minions ac, the film's narrative, the research identifies three main Hobbesian parallels: 1) The Minions’ initial chaotic and ungoverned behavior perfectly represents the State of Nature, characterized by self-interest and disorder. 2) Gru's early actions, including his challenge to and theft from the Vicious 6, illustrate the inherent Hobbesian struggle for power and the conflict between individual ambition and existing authority. 3) Gru’s ultimate rise to leadership and the imposition of rules demonstrates the creation of the Leviathan (sovereign authority), which is necessary to curb chaos and unify the group with a shared purpose. The study concludes that the film supports Hobbes's central thesis: that strong authority and control are essential for transitioning from anarchy to a stable, purposeful society. It demonstrates that modern animation can serve as a literal case study for the Social Contract, where subjects trade total freedom for the protection of a "Sovereign." This research calls for further research by contrasting Hobbes’s "fear-based" authority with Machiavellian "virtue" to see how Gru maintains power.
