Research regarding the use and analysis in two different literary genres has found the archetypal meanings of color in film and fiction, Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic story of A Little Princess and Kenneth Branagh’s magical 2015 film Cinderella. The plot of “A Little Princess,” is familiar: Sara Crewe is a Cinderella figure whose story begins with the loss of her fortune, derived, in part, from diamond mines in India and ends with its restoration. A Little Princess and Cinderella use color symbolism to emphasize a plucky narrative in which flawed characters find the opportunity for change and restoration.

Afterwards, in A Little Princess, Sara Crewe is saved by her father’s best friend, Carrisford who has been searching for her several years now. Carrisford gives Sara Crewe half of her father’s, Captain Crewe’s, wealth from the Diamond mines. Straightaway, Sara moves out of Miss Minchin’s Seminary School for Girls along with Becky, a black servant who worked there with Carrisford. “The man who moved next door is Captain Crewe’s best friend and diamond mine partner, who did not actually lose the fortune, and has been searching for everywhere for Sara so he can give her half of the diamond fortune” (Saxena The-Toast). The evidence previously mentioned indicates how similar Sara and Ella’s lives are alike. Each character went through different obstacles as a young girl who had the opportunity for a change and restoration. At this instant, Ella is rescued from the attic and her cruel Stepfamily by the Prince, Kit. As the story goes on, Ella has obviously married her Prince Charming and moves into the palace to rule the kingdom by his side. Although, Ella moved out of her parents “meadow girl house,” she still kept it to be cherished. “Cinderella and her good nature eventually triumph over evil (in the form of a malicious stepmother and taunting stepsisters) when she's rescued by a prince who is so overwhelmingly defined by one trait that it's also his name: Charming (Le Vine Refinery29).

Including little Sara; undergoing through hardships and humiliation by her adolescences and finally gets a hold of her family friend who can give her riches again. Both characters kept such goodness, inner beauty, and strength which helps them manage to deal with the evil guardian and adolescences. After each persons goes through numerous trials, at the end of both stories, Sara Crewe and Ella are rewarded with the advantage of leaving both their care homes. In conclusion, we get little of Sara’s life before the loss of her father and her fortune; Cinderella already degraded, fallen from some imaginable state of grace. In both stories color plays an obvious symbolic role. While one color is presented in each story, there is a clear focus on green in A Little Princess and blue in Cinderella. Symbolically, the archetypal color references for green include envy, wisdom, growth, and rebirth, while for blue includes innocence, confidence, and wisdom, meanings that only correlate to A Little Princess and Cinderella. The archetypal colors of green and blue share a slightly similar meaning in these two literary genres. Along with color symbolism, and other various trials that occur throughout Sara and Ella’s
