As someone who never watched the Disney version of the little mermaid and only read the H. C. Andersen version, I went wut?
Doesn't she jump into the sea to become mindless foam at the end of the story (and end up ascending to be a spirit due to her good deeds), when she can't make herself kill the prince as he is lying there with his new bride, the other woman whom he thinks saved him?

Yup, that's the fairy tale's ending. But this is Disney. No dying in the end unless you're a villain. :p

(They did the same with "Hunchback of Notre Dame".)

That's one of the cool things about fairy tales and stories, they get retold and details changed to fit the time and the teller and you can learn a lot studying the changes.

Like most of the stories the Brothers Grimm collected had evil mothers, not evil step mothers, but they changed it for better appeal. They also tended to be gender fluid, with the protagonist being the gender of the child they were told to and any others switched appropriately to fit. The Brothers tended to chose male protagonist for publication

Basically, the very nature of fairy tales is that they're perfect for studying creative changes that happen over time and what sticks and what's dropped. Like the lotus-feet tiny shoes importance staying with Cinderella long after she left Chinese tellings instead of being commonly replaced with something like a corset or gloves or anything else.
