This document discusses applying pragmatic criticism to analyze the movies "Maleficent" and "Frozen". Pragmatic criticism views a work as being constructed to achieve effects on the audience and judges its value based on success in achieving that aim, such as providing aesthetic pleasure, instruction, or emotion. The document examines how each movie portrays good and evil and whether audiences understand those portrayals. It concludes that while the movies sometimes present ethics questions, audiences generally respond positively and see the phenomena as common.
