These stories have similar ways in portraying the hard working Cinderella including her suffering, but they are different in Cinderella’s motive of rescue one tale use violence if necessary; the other just more of a genuine resourceful approach.

Have you ever wondered if there were other versions of Cinderella? Well there are, there isn’t just one version of Cinderella. Each version is a little bit different from each story because of the culture behind it. For example the “Cinderella” we know and love and the Ireland version the “Cinderlad”.The two cinderella stories, “Cinderlad” the Irish version and “Cinderella” the French version have both differences and similarities. Using the Motif “Damsel in distress” I can show that they are different & similar because of the culture they originated from and their social necessities.
In both stories Cinderella’s mother died while she was still young, and her father re-married a vile woman with two equally wretched daughters who abused Cinderella. Further similarities include the event held by the King to find a bride for his son, the Prince and Cinderella receiving beautiful clothes and shoes to wear to the festivities. Also, in both stories the prince chose Cinderella without hesitation and her identity was not discovered by other party goers. A slipper was left behind in each story as well, which remained how the prince eventually discovered the mystery princess to be Cinderella so he could take her as his bride after many failed to make the fit.

Cinderella’s story is undoubtedly the most popular fairy tale all over the world. Her fairy tale is one of the best read and emotion filled story that we all enjoyed as young and adults. In Elizabeth Pantajja’s analysis, Cinderella’s story still continues to evoke emotions but not as a love story but a contradiction of what we some of us believe. Pantajja chose Cinderella’s story to enlighten the readers that being good and piety are not the reason for Cinderella’s envious fairy tale. The author’s criticism and forthright analysis through her use of pathos, ethos, and logos made the readers doubt Cinderella’s character and question the real reason behind her marrying the prince. Pantajja claims that
The adaptation of the different cultural versions of Cinderella has blossomed over the many years since this story was first told. From the Charles Perrault’s version to Jakob & Wilhelm Grimm, and Campbell Grants version for Disney and everything in between the authors write about a beautiful and kind girl that is treated very poorly by her evil step mother and step sisters. With magic on her side, she always comes out on top, to get the prince.
Difference Interpretations of Cinderella Transformations gives a new perspective on classic fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm, but one in particular stuck out to me. In the story about “Cinderella” there are many similarities, but the differences are what shows the mark of a good writer. Every story Anne Sexton writes about in Transformations uses confessional pieces before the fairy tale to relate to her own life. In addition, “Cinderella” is a very well known story, but the most popular one is the Disney version which is the most pleasant interpretation. The Transformation’s version of Cinderella uses differences between the Brothers Grimm and Disney, outlines descriptive images, and also uses Anne Sexton’s confessional poetry throughout

Cinderella is a fairytale for children that displayed love, loss and miracles; however, when it is further analyzed, it has a deeper meaning.

The three versions of Cinderella that I am going to compare, and contrast is the Perrault, Grimm, and Lee’s. All the stories are similar, but they also have many differences as well. Many of the Cinderella stories were written in different time periods and all the stories fall back to the original version of Cinderella, where Cinderella has an evil stepmother, marries a wealthy man, and has two stepsisters.
Each person in the world has heard of Cinderella, no matter what kind of version it may be. Cinderella is the one fairy tale story that has been popular and will always be the one tale that has to be told to children. Words and story lines might be twist and turn, but in the end the knowledge of the story will be learned in similar ways. As we all know when one story is told another is created, when one is at its best then another is at its worse. One version will always be better than another, but no matter what version it might be the story will be told.
“What goes around comes around, that’s what people say. So all the pain you caused me will come back to you someday” (Unknown.)

The way Cinderella and Tam are getting married is the most significant difference between the two tales. According to country’s traditions and the culture, every tale takes a different way to find a partner. Cinderella meets the prince at the party.

He falls in love with Tam because he thinks the shoe 's owner will be pretty according to her feet 's size.
Many people wonder where all the Cinderella stories originated from? They originated from the most popular version written in French by Charles Perrault written in 1607.

All Cinderella stories have the same storyline, but there are differences and similarities between the archetypes and the characters and in the theme in the three versions.
