I agree and disagree. I mean, it didn't bother me that Jasmine wanted to marry for love because in her universe, the only reason she has to is because of some old law no one cares about.

In Merida's it's to prevent a war. And rather then try to lobby her mother about the issue, and make it clear to her that getting married is a big freaking deal to her, she just goes about it in the same bratty, complaining way she goes about everything.

I think maybe I would have been more sympathetic if there wasn't some big taunting moment out on the field where she clearly defied everyone. If she sought out a spell first (even if I do think that's a whole issue in and of itself), she would have come across as less horrible. But making a big show about how she's going to defy tradition and law and humiliating the clan lords? What a terrible idea!

I agree that Merida wasn't terribly responsible or long-sighted about the entire marriage situation, but I felt like SHE felt that she had no other choice. She clearly couldn't talk much to her mother about her actual views and feelings, at least not without being criticized heavily. She felt that her only recourse was to rebel and completely shut down the possibility of her marrying - granted, rather explosively and immaturely, but I don't expect rational, mature thinking out of most 14-year-olds, no matter the era in which they were born.

I excuse her actions (most of them) because she's a teenager, but that doesn't make her a likable or sympathetic character, I think. I think she could have behaved mostly the same way with some important changes and she would have came across as less irresponsible and selfish.
