Cinderella Research Paper

Our culture is full of fairy tales. Girls are taught at a young age about Prince Charming and happy endings while boys are taught to be the girls’ heroes. They are taught these dreams and desires through fairytales and movies. These fairy tales started out as entertaining stories, but as they were handed down from one generation to the next, they slowly became more than that. They became bedtime stories for children, and as such, they have great importance because they teach children how to be in the world. One such fairy tale I want to focus on is Cinderella.

Two early Cinderella stories, that of the early Egyptian Rhodopis and German Grimm Brothers’ Cinderella, show how two cultures perceive the world through the story of Cinderella. The Egyptian culture focused more on the godly intervention and how human gods are separate from the gods above. While the German story focused on nature and how the dead that were good hearted are in nature (the mother), which in turn helps out those like Cinderella. The two cultures show how they believe that the gods and nature rule the earth. Even though others don’t like Cinderella, she can still succeed, her fate isn’t predestined by others actions. This is a compelling idea that intervention made Cinderella a beautiful bride. Her

This is the main factor future Disney princess movies pushed back against. As Marcia Lieberman stated in her critical analysis of the lessons women in fairytales teach young readers, “Cinderella, the Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White are mythic figures who have replaced the old Greek and Norse gods, goddesses, and heroes for most children” (Lieberman 384). These princesses have become worshipped by society and yet they show no real control over their own lives and seem to only be framed as damsels waiting to be saved, no matter the true intentions of the writers. Society remembers these women as getting their happily ever afters because of their beauty alone. Not only did future princesses work for their happy endings, the modern princesses had to go through tremendous amounts of personal and emotional growth to get what they wanted, though it is still apparent that some happy endings were thrown in to make sure everything return to the status

From a young age, little girls were brought up thinking that being a princess was the best thing a girl could be. From the fairytale endings, to the prince coming to save you from torturous situations. Disney always depicted a princess as having a happily ever after. Fairytales are not always love and happy ending, some come from gruesome origins including Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and the Little Mermaid.

The strength of one princess movie may be a weakness of another and vice versa. So long as a child isn’t watching just Sleeping Beauty every day, they would be taking on a variety of values and positive influences from different princesses. Princess culture as a whole encourages children to be kind and creative dreamers (name one princess who ever did anything remotely unkind to anyone) and has come a far way from being just damsels in distress. The original requirement to be a princess is to be beautiful with a good singing voice and a prince to rescue you. Now, the culture has transformed into a diverse group of strong women who embrace who they are and encourage children to do the

Do you have a fairy godmother? In the movie “Cinderella”, when Cinderella feels heartbroken, her fairy godmother appears and magically transforms her ruined dress and shoes into a beautiful ball gown and glass slippers (Peed, William). She went from feeling brokenhearted to having her dreams come true within seconds. While you were watching “Cinderella” did you make a wish that your fairy godmother would magically appear? The truth is you probably already have your own fairy godmother. A fairy godmother or fairy godfather is one who inspires and helps others survive their challenging times. Everyone has the power to inspire and to be inspired. You are a fairy godmother and you have the power to inspire.

¨No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dreams that you wish will come true.¨ In Disney's Cinderella, it is all magic and dreams. The captivating story of Cinderella originated from an old folktale called Aschenputtel. Destined to go to the royal festival, Aschenputtel has to overcome her cruel stepmother and stepsisters. This beautiful girl has many traits that would please any person, they include kindness, friendliness, and humbleness.

In Haiti, there is a single mother of two named Jocelyn. On the weekdays, she wakes up at six in the morning to fill two empty buckets with water. Through a rugged path, she carries the full buckets, one in her hand, and the other on her head. When Jocelyn returns home she wakes up her children. Then, she grabs one of the buckets and runs them a bath. After the children put on their uniforms, Jocelyn hands them a mango to eat for breakfast. When they’re finished eating, she walks the children to school and paces to the apparel factory to work. This narrative may not impress some individuals. However, I believe Jocelyn is the definition of success. She defines success because she is able to provide for her children. Although she is not financially

Kids love watching movies weather it has a moral to the story or it doesn’t. Kids also have that one movie they watch every single day and never get tired of watching it. That movie for me is Cinderella. To be honest, I don’t even know how many times I have watched it, all I know is that it has been my favorite movie since I was two. As childish as it sounds Cinderella changed how as perceived the world. It was the first movie I remember watching and I still cherish the movie. Watching this movie several times taught me to always stay positive, treat people how you want to be treated, and understand how bright my future could be.

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.

When we see a story always keeps it safe and stick with the same formula it can get stale. So when we see storytelling take a different approach to an archetype like a princess story. We expect something we have never seen before and it doesn't always have be perfect and meet the expectations of everyone. But I like it when storytellers take risks, they do the unexpected and are full of surprises. Some fairy tales rely on a heroine other than the princess herself to save the day from the evil villian. Pixar’s Brave sets itself apart from those trends and tells its own story.

Stories like Cinderella don't only teach young children simple morals but can teach adults that “the evolution of the fairy tale tells [them] about [themselves] and [their] changing society”(Abler). If one evaluates the growth and changes inside a fairytale they can discover many changes that coincide with what is happening in the word and society during that time period. For example, “the late 1960s and ’70s saw a surge of interest in women’s rights in the Western world as the Equal Rights Amendment gained approval in the United States”(Abler). This shift in cultural beliefs inspired writers to no longer have a weak princess but rather give the women a say in their own fate. During this time, Disney changed with the culture and moved away from more submissive heroines into and age of feminine power. Being able to adjust to the times is what makes fairy tales still relevant and popular in today's

Cinderella is a fairytale for children that displayed love, loss and miracles; however, when it is further analyzed, it has a deeper meaning. Cinderella is a story about a young girl who became a servant in her own home after her father remarried a malicious woman with two spoiled daughters. She was humiliated and abused yet she remained gentle and kind. She received help from her fairy godmother to go to the prince’s ball after her stepmother rejected her proposal. Cinderella and the Prince fell madly in love but she had to leave at twelve o’clock and forgot to tell him her name but she left her glass slipper behind. He sent his servants to find her and Cinderella was the only maiden in the kingdom to fit into the shoes. She

From a young age, little girls daydream about meeting their 'Prince Charming' and falling madly in love; being swept off your feet and having a fairytale romance. I was no exception. I grew up watching every Disney movie that you can imagine. Princesses were my favourite. I'd watch Snow White countless times, the same with Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast. However, the amount of times that I watched them didn't matter, they never lost their ability to enchant me. Keep me captivated with stories of true love overcoming barriers, and withstanding hard times.
