Disney’s Cinderella demonstrates that, whatever the intention of its makers, modern day fairy tales function in our society as hidden instructions for morals and behaviors that we give children. On the surface, it seems to be a simple story about a young woman whose wishes come true. However, the story also reflects cultural expectations of women’s behaviors and goals and defines expectations of “goodness” for women. Power belongs to men in “Cinderella”, and it is depicted as a female ambition and goal. The storyline describes the rise of the submissive haracter to becoming a Princess; she is portrayed as a passive character who waits for the Prince to come for her. While waiting for her Prince Charming she also bears the mistreatment from her stepmother and stepsisters. While masculine power is taken for granted in the figure of the Prince, becoming his wife is the only way women have to share this power. The

"Yes, Liesel, it's me," and he held the girl´s hand in his face and cried onto her fingers.¨ Rosa is a Woman that is mean looking, she has dark hair and it's always up, for example a bun or ponytail.

The Princess Bride, written by William Goldman, is no ordinary fairy tale, most fairy tales are straightforward, the fact that it is told through a frame narrative, adding additional layers, makes the story more confusing. Although it does not fully fit the conventions of an ordinary fairy tale, it does fit the conventions of oral story-telling. Through the preface and interruptions, Goldman simulates oral-storytelling, with a hint of fantasy, in his novel, in order to recreate the moment in which his father told him the story.

When imaging the ideal audience of fairytales, children are quick to come to mind, although, our perception of Little Red Riding Hood as an innocent fable is far from the truth. Alternatively, the origins of this story are derived from Italo Calvino’s “The False Grandmother”, a story immersed in symbolism and metaphorical symbols intended strictly for a mature audience. The preceding tale was “Little Red Cap “written by Charles Perrault and then later the “Little Red Riding” written by the Brothers Grimm. Although the details of these tales vary, they all maintain similar storylines. The stories revolve around the young female character Little Red Riding Hood who is sent off on a mission to bring her grandmother a basket of goods. During her adventure she encounters a wolf who engages in a hot pursuit to eat both the Grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood, only to succeed in the earlier rendition of the story. In this essay I will prove that when the Grimm’s Brothers and Perrault’s Little Red Riding Hood stories are critically analyzed, it becomes evident that they are inappropriate tales for children as they exemplify the consequences of a minor transgression by Little Red Riding Hood as being the misleading cause of the violence and seduction that occurs thereafter.

There are of course simple differences between Grimm and Welty’s portrayals of The Robber Bridegroom. One inconsistency is that Rosamund in Welty’s book is the daughter of a planter and in the other version the daughter of a miller. Although they are similar in plot as she must marry a rich man; whom she doesn’t know much about then follows him into the woods where she is either threatened to be killed or kept as a servant.

Angela Carter, an English writer, is best known for her feminist rewriting of classical fairy tales. In her stories she prominently uses themes, such as, virginity, the pornographic image, violence and sex, and many others. Degrading someone to the status of a mere object, in other words objectification, is a theme Angela Carter shows in many of her fairy tales, specifically the objectification of women. According to Carter, the objectification and subjugation of women is part of a “latent context” of fairy tales that she expressed simply by virtue of being a woman. Both “The Tiger’s Bride” and “The Courtship of Mr. Lyon” are fairy tales intertextually linked with “Beauty and the Beast” and show the reader Carters’ views on femininity. Not

The film Cinderella tells the story of a lovely girl with a very pure heart who had everything in life. She was pleased, had a beautiful family, a house, and goods, and most importantly, much love.

Everything changes the day Cinderella's father passed away. From that moment, the girl begins to be a victim of abuse, mistreatment, and humiliations of her evil stepmother and her spoiled and jealous stepsisters.
