But she doesn't make a major move until he's in the picture and then the whole things centers on winning him over. Easy to see a girl who will do anything for her man if someone's inclined to look for one.

Honestly, when I watch that film, I see her more enjoying doing 'human things' than being around him. Enjoying the town, the clothes, the driving, the dancing, all the weird stuff she sees. After all, the song isn't called "By Your Side;" it's called "Part of Your World." Eric is a pretty attractive part of it but he was never all of it.

If Flotsam and Jetsam had pitched Ursula's idea pre-Eric, I'm almost 100% sure Ariel still would have taken the risk. It just happens that Ursula preys on Ariel's anger at her father and her new crush, linking her ability to retain her legs (something she sings early in the film that she's always wanted to have) to whether or not she can make Eric love her and kiss her (this also fascinating thing). And if she doesn't? She's Ursula's new pet. So yea, doing anything to make Eric fall in love has pretty high stakes.

I think if anyone really gets objectified in the film, it's Eric LOL. He's another human thing for her to explore. Ariel wants him cuz he's cute human man candy.

I don't disagree with you, I just think that if someone wants to see a girl who will do anything for a man in Ariel's story, they can. Same as seeing Belle as a girl who 'changes a man for the better'. That's not how it really goes when you take a better look in both cases, but everybody isn't taking that better look.

I saw him as a catalyst, to be honest. IDK, doing something for her man makes me think of someone following her man's desires and this is not the case. Ariel wanted out before falling for Eric and then he was the push she needed-. And, tbh, I don't why would anyone be inclined to look for such a thing.

It's usually creeps, jerks and troglodytes, but unfortunately there are people who still consider that to be the ideal kind of woman. Be thankful you haven't met any, I guess.

I was under the impression that her father's destruction of all her stuff was what really pushed her over the edge. After meeting Eric she had the statue of him and was very excited about meeting him, but it wasn't until her father went on his rampage that she even considered going to Ursula. And honestly I don't blame her for wanting to get away after her father did that to a world that she viewed as much better.

Also Ariel had always wanted to go to the human world and Ursula's contract was that she had kiss Eric in order to stay there so Ariel kind of had to center around him. If that hadn't been part of Ursula's deal there's no telling what Ariel might have done.

The fact that she has daddy issues kinds of makes it worse IMO. Freud would love that.
