There a debate on good morning Britain

Debate about snow white being kissed when she in in a deep sleep was without her consent . They were saying it might give kids wrong impression. They acted like they know the film. Prince He didn’t know the Snow White was in a deep sleep. he assumed she was dead as the dwarfs. that why he kissed her. As your just a body if your dead.

The folklore from which the modern story derives was more gritty.

"Sleep" represents unawakened sexuality. The prince rapes her, and thus she is "awakened."

I don't think anyone today would consider that to be an acceptable story line.

But, if we ignore all that and simply focus on the Disney movie, we do see early on that she and the prince are in love. The kiss is symbolic of love conquering the evil queen's hate, and a symbol has to be something physical in order to be visual.

If I really wanted to push this as if I were writing a paper in high school and wanted to impress my English teacher, I would say that his kiss on her lips is the antidote to the apple's poison on her lips. One symbol against another.
