Short Story Of Queen Sweet Cotton

Once upon a time in a land far away, a young girl named Cinderella lived with her Stepmother and two stepsisters. Although they were exceedingly cruel, Cinderella continued to be as benevolent as a human could be. One night Cinderella had come across a ball that her mother had forbidden her to attend. Her stepsisters tore and ripped her dress that she had made herself, so Cinderella couldn’t attend the ball. After Cinderella’s stepmother and sisters went off to the ball, a fairy godmother had appeared to grant Cinderella’s dreams to attend the ball. There she met a young fellow whom she danced with all night. Little had she known he was the prince who was throwing the ball. At the beginning of the night the fairy godmother had told

The women’s coming of age story exposes how naïve they are within the real world. As a result, the sorcerer uses emotional

When Rapunzel turns twelve, the witch locks her in a tower to hide her beauty from the world. Although the tower represents phallic image, it also symbolizes how the dreamer becomes anal-retentive. The tower “had neither stairs nor doors, only high up at the very top a small window”; the witch tries to keep Rapunzel from the outside world, in theory, keeping her in (1). During the anal stage, a normal child learns to control ones bodily functions. Thus, Rapunzel becomes dependent on the witch. As the story continues, a prince happens upon the tower and learns that the entrance to Rapunzel’s tower is by her, long blonde hair. So the next day he comes to the tower, and repeats the witch’s words “Let down your golden hair” and the Prince climbs up (2). At first, the prince scares Rapunzel but he then “spoke to her so kindly” and that “his heart had been so touched by her singing” (2). Rapunzel undergoes sexual identification through the prince, another indication of the phallic stage. The prince then offers to help Rapunzel leave the tower and “to marry him” (2). Rapunzel agrees to the prince’s plan, and in effect, she attempts to leave the anal stage. But when her escape is eminent she slips in revealing that she communicates with the prince.

In some instances, Cinderella’s behaviour in Perrault’s tale display characteristics that are alike to a modern western woman, today. On the first night of the Ball, the fairy godmother struggles to find something turn into a coachman. Then Cinderella suggests to transform the “...rate in the rat trap...into a coachman” (Perrault). This act reveals that Cinderella is capable of solving problems individually (Robbins, 107); a quality of a modern western woman. In addition, Cinderella demonstrates intelligence when the step sisters talk to Cinderella after returning from the first night of the Ball (Robbins, 107). Cinderella pretends to be sleepy by “...rubbing her eyes and stretching...” (Perrault) when the step sisters visit Cinderella’s room, after returning from the first night of the ball. By pretending to be sleepy, the step sisters assume that Cinderella did not attend the Ball. The step sisters tell Cinderella that a “finest princess” (Perrault) came to the Ball, however, when Cinderella inquires about the unknown princess name, the step sisters state that they did not know. Also, the step sisters tell Cinderella that the prince “would give all the world to know who...” (Perrault) is the unknown princess. This way Cinderella slyly and confidently interrogates the step

Through audio and symbolic codes, the original story of Cinderella is played out with poor little Cinderella wishing to attend what she sees as the 'festival of her dreams'. Florinda and Lucinda care very little for their step sister Cinderella who is forced to tend to their every need. She is aware that how she is treated does not equal to how she behaves, however sadly, can do very little about it. "Never mind, Cinderella, kind Cinderella- nice good nice kind good nice-" and with an outburst of laughter they slap Cinderella to the floor, due to her making one simple mistake, leaving her there without sympathy. As the Stepsisters and evil stepmother depart for the festival you watch as the contrast in class becomes much more prominent. As the three board the carriage all adorned and in luscious ball gowns, Cinderella stands looking up to them in not even 'hand-me-downs' but merely and literally, rags. Cinderella represents a responsible, supporter of the family unit who takes her obligations seriously as represented through in her clothing of which are brown and various other darker shades. In search of help, she turns to the only person she can really talk to, her enchanted weeping willow. Acting as the fairy godmother, she grants her wish, and at this exact moment in time, Cinderella truly believe she possesses everything she could have ever wanted. However, later goes on to say "You

A royal proclamation invited everyone to a ball to dance with the prince. Just Drizella and Anastasia and I could go. Not Cinderella. She didn’t have a dress and hadn’t finished her chores. So, like any good mother, I told her she couldn’t go. Cinderella was very upset. Turns out she did have a dress- that I accidently ripped. Yet, Cinderella stayed home while the rest of us left for the ball. Everything was fine until stinky, little Ella snuck out, found the sympathy of some “fairy godmother”, came to the ball, and danced with the prince. I was extremely upset. She had directly disobeyed me! So, when a decree came looking for the ‘maiden with a small shoe’, which had to be Cinderella because she had the smallest feet, I grounded her to her room, attending to let her out when the Duke came to try the shoe on her. But, I accidently locked the door and by the time Cinderella got out, I also had accidentally broken the shoe. And then, you know what she did? She pulled out the other match! She hadn’t given it back to the fairy godmother! She was a thief! I was so mad. But it

Take a moment to think of your favorite Disney childhood movie, what if you found out that film was not the real story. The story of Cinderella is about a girl whose mother dies and father remarries. The woman he marries is cruel and has two children both wicked. The tale tells readers about Cinderella’s strugglsome life and how everyone treats her like their personal maid and not “one of them”. One night Cinderella wishes to go to the grand ball with her stepmother and two step sisters, but her stepmother restricts her from going by giving her difficult tasks for her to finish before the ball begins.

Cindy showed up under the influence, telling elaborate stories. When people complimented her on her dress, she made up a story about how I would not buy her one so her Fairy Godmother magically pulled one out of thin air for her. She then began telling anyone who would listen that she rode in a pumpkin to the ball and that the driver was actually a mouse! By the time I realized what was going on, she had caused such a commotion that people had gathered around her. One was the prince himself. He was so enthralled with her story telling capabilities that he asked her to dance so he could hear more. Around midnight, I noticed Cindy trotting happily down the front steps and off into the night. She stumbled briefly, but got right back up with just a little

The dear Princess Carline learned the true value of magic when Pug used it to save her life. “She stepped closer to him and placed a hand on his arm. ‘Thank you,” (Feist, 54). The Princess Carline had not felt guilty when she had left Pug alone with the trolls who Pug had drowned using magic, but when he came back to her in one piece, Pug could tell the Princess knew she was in the wrong. The Princess, before Pug used magic to kill the trolls, disregarded magic, even hated it some might say, but through Pug using it to save her life instead of kill her with it, allowed the Princess to see why magic was so valued in her kingdom. Pug learned to value magic in a different way, in a different world to be more precise and the way he valued magic is different than

At first, her weaknesses are overlooked by of the evil from her stepmother and stepsisters and she easily falls in love at first sight, then lives happily ever after. However, this unrealistic tale teach girls to have a sense of dependency that is unnecessary. Walt Disney’s Cinderella is a helpless dreamer incapable of helping herself. In the opening scene, Cinderella wakes up singing to her talking mice and birds that she does not need to do anything but, “have faith in [her] dreams, and someday [her] rainbow will come smiling through.” Rather than standing up to her stepmother and stepsisters she, “awaits her rescue with patience and a song” (Dundes).

As Zeke was getting ready he was thinking about how he hoped that Princess Esmeralda would be at the ball. He had also been hoping that he could dance with her that night. He knew he had to leave right at 10:00 because his parents wanted him home by 10:15 and it was a 10 minute ride home in his magic carriage.

I will kill him! Why do I have such simple-minded servants?” The Prince questioned, enraged by the man’s stupidity. The man simply nodded and walked back to the ballroom when the Prince dismissed him. Shocked by what I had heard, I silently tiptoed back into the ballroom. To my surprise, when I looked for the Prince, I found that he was dancing with Cinderella! Cinderella looked gorgeous in her beautiful white dress, surely made by a Fairy Godmother. I know because it’s the same every single time. Cinderella procrastinates and her Fairy Godmother comes to her rescue. Cinderella and the Prince danced all throughout the night. Suddenly, at twelve, she ran out of the ballroom, leaving one of her white stilettos
