thinking about how Lady & the Tramp is all about the loyalty of love

Who better to teach that lesson than a pair of dogs?

Lady’s character looks like a naive young woman who’s always stayed in her place in society. Tramp’s character looks like a rough-and-tumble, “live a little” bachelor of the world.

But because they’re dogs, they get to tell us something about how staying in your place is the best thing to do; as long as your place is centered around love, you should be loyal to it.

Tramp jumps from girl to girl in the name of freedom.

To him, breaking the rules and living for himself, taking advantage of everyone he needs to, is freedom. The whole world is his. But when he’s faced with a choice between the whole world or the love of one sheltered girl, he realizes that loyalty to that love is better than the whole world.

Why?

Because Lady teaches him. She seems like the naive one, the one who needs looking out for, but she’s actually got the most important thing figured out—she’s all about staying loyal to those you love.

Even before she starts her romance with the Tramp. When her place in the home is jeopardized, does she get jealous of the baby? Does shy try to fight for her place in her owner’s hearts? No. With their help, she just makes room in her own heart to include the baby, too. She shifts her own position in order to stay true to her people.

Tramp’s never learned that people can make room in their hearts before. He thinks people only have a limited amount of space in there. But you can tell that he believes the same thing about dogs, not just humans—he, himself, keeps bouncing from place to place and girlfriend to girlfriend because he’s afraid his own place in their hearts is temporary.

That’s why he tries to impress his worldview on Lady. He’s trying to warn her. But he’s wrong, and she proves him wrong by making room in her heart for the baby, the new element, the one that looked like it was crowding her out.

When she’s at her lowest point and has been mistreated by Aunt Sarah, with no knowledge of when Jim Dear and Darling will come back, and has fallen in love with the Tramp, he tries to convince her to leave them for good. After all, he just heard how insecure the human baby was making her when they first met.

But Lady’s response is, “it sounds wonderful. But who would watch over the baby?”

So Tramp gets to see that she’s different than the other girl-dogs. She’s different than anyone he’s ever known. She has all the potential to be like him (he saw a glimpse of it when she helped him con the beaver, and started falling for her) but she won’t. She’ll stay loyal to what she loves—even when what she loves is hard, and at one point made her feel like she was losing her place.

Of course, then she gets taken to the pound and learns that he is the opposite of her—he’s like, anti-dog. He has no clue how to be loyal. He’s never been loyal, not even to dogs. He’s had all these other girls!

So that throws a wrench in everything, because he’s changed. He’s ready to “settle down” like the pound dogs predicted. He sees that to have love worthy of being loyal to is all the world he’ll ever need. Lady’s a dog’s dog, capable of endless sacrifice to stay loyal to her family, and he wants to be a part of it. But you know, everything gets screwed up.

And you can tell he’s changed, and learned from her example, and really believes in loyal, selfless love because even after she’s rejected him he comes back. As soon as she needs help, he finds a way into the house—which to him would have been like breaking into a prison before — and gets himself hurt helping a baby he doesn’t even know. Lands himself in the pound. Sacrifices himself and his precious freedom because loyal love is better than empty freedom.

But then Lady saves him. Because she’s loyal. She could’ve remembered that he’s a triple-timing jerk. She could’ve considered how much trouble he got her into. She could’ve even said to herself “they’re taking him to the pound, the single most terrifying location I’ve ever been to, and my family is here, so goodbye Tramp.” But she doesn’t do that. She leads the family to the rat, then to Tramp himself.

So even though Tramp is the world-wise one, it’s Lady who teaches him the most fulfilling place for a dog; loyal love. And it’s way way better than “a big hunk of world with no fence around it, all ours, nothing but the best.”

Which is why dogs are such a great choice of character to teach that lesson. Because they really are at their happiest and most fulfilled when they’re loving others, even if, in our minds, the happiest and most fulfilled beings would be those that are free.

Disney should go back to making ‘em like they used to.

Never know how much I love you

Never know how much I care

When you put your arms around me

I get a fever that's so hard to bear

You give me fever

When you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight

Fever! In the mornin', a-fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime

Moon lights up the night

I light up when you call my name

And you know I'm gonna treat you right

You give me fever

When you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight

Fever! In the mornin', a-fever all through the night

-Fever Peggy Lee

Hello, patrons! 👻

I'm currently busy working on the next part of chapter 4!

I'm also responding to some of the fantastic prompts and questions you've sent my way (and trying not to flood your Tumblr feed with too many posts at once, lol).

In the meantime, I wanted to share a bit about one of the songs I've quoted in the game– specifically, the one used in the opening lines: "Is That All There Is?" by Peggy Lee.

I first encountered this haunting song in 2013, during a visit to New York. A life-changing experience.

I attended the interactive play "Sleep No More," a surreal whirlwind of a show. There's this place built inside the enormous space where the play transpires, a bar - the Manderley Bar. There, one of the actors took my hand. He guided me to a table, then ascended the stage to perform "Is That All There Is?" His gaze never left mine throughout the entire song. My heart thundered in my chest – my very first gay experience.

The performance didn't end there. Afterward, he pulled me into a phone boot, and, well, let's just say what followed was nothing short of a gay awakening.

Whenever I write about Peisinoe charming an audience member, my mind drifts back to that actor. The lyrics of "Is That All There Is?" carry a profound bleakness – a questioning of life's apparent meaninglessness. Yet, there's something in Peggy Lee's voice, a certain way she articulates the words, that breathes a paradoxical meaning into the void. It's the meaning found in meaninglessness, the beauty in existential contemplation.

I know what you must be saying to yourselves If that's the way she feels about it Why doesn't she just end it all? Oh, no, not me I'm not ready for that final disappointment

Because I know Just as well as I'm standing here talking to you That when that final moment comes And I'm breathing my last breat I'll be saying to myself

Is that all there is?

So, I guess, see you soon at the abyss! :D
