When the trailer for Disney’s live action adaptation of The Little Mermaid dropped in September, racists were up in arms over the casting of a Black actress as Ariel. Their image of Ariel was based on the 1989 animated feature, in which the mermaid is red-headed and white. Yet that version too is a far cry from the original rendering first presented by Hans Christian Andersen in his 1837 story. There, the mermaid is nameless. She allows a sea-witch to cut out her tongue so she can neither sing nor speak. Yearning to be human, she drinks a brew that transforms her tail into legs that feel on land as if she’s walking on swords. She considers killing her beloved prince after he marries another, only to eventually commit suicide.

Today, most scholars agree that Andersen, a bi-romantic, wrote the story after Edvard Collin rejected his affections.
