Aladdin Freedom and Confinement Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Aladdin.

Quote #1

SULTAN: Dearest, you've got to stop rejecting every suitor that comes to call. The law says you...

SULTAN & JASMINE: ...must be married to a prince.

SULTAN: By your next birthday.

JASMINE: The law is wrong.

SULTAN: You've only got three more days!

JASMINE: Father, I hate being forced into this. If I do marry, I want it to be for love.

SULTAN: Jasmine, it's not only this law. I'm not going to be around forever, and I just want to make sure you're taken care of, provided for.

JASMINE: Try to understand. I've never done a thing on my own. I've never had any real friends. Except you, Rajah. I've never even been outside the palace walls.

SULTAN: But Jasmine, you're a princess.

JASMINE: Then maybe I don't want to be a princess.

Disney movies usually make being a princess look awesome, but Jasmine isn't digging it. She's got some serious #PrincessProblems to deal with: she's being forced into a marriage she doesn't want, and her entire life so far has been restricted to the palace. She's just as caged as her pet birds.

Quote #2

JASMINE: Oh, I'm sorry, Rajah. But I can't stay here and have my life lived for me. I'll miss you. Good bye!

What do you do when your dad is forcing you to choose a prince to marry in the next three days? Run away. Jasmine can't take the repression anymore, so she makes a break for it.

Quote #3

ALADDIN: Well, it's not much, but it's got a great view. Palace looks pretty amazing, huh?

JASMINE: Oh, it's wonderful.

ALADDIN: I wonder what it would be like to live there, to have servants and valets...

JASMINE: Oh, sure. People who tell you where to go and how to dress.

ALADDIN: It's better than here. Always scraping for food and ducking the guards.

JASMINE: You're not free to make your own choices.

ALADDIN: Sometimes you feel so—

JASMINE: You're just—

BOTH: —trapped.

Aladdin and Jasmine come from opposite worlds, but they sure have a lot in common. Both of them are trapped in circumstances they didn't ask for. They're both in cages. Sure, Aladdin's cage is dirt and rat-filled, while Jasmine's cage is gold plated with pretty jewels on it, but they're both still cages. Now might be a good time to kiss, guys?
