In the short story “Where Are You Going,Where Have You Been,” Joyce Carol Oates expertly executes the aspects of the horror genre by adding fairy-tale aspects like Cinderella and Red Riding Hood to characters and atmosphere; giving the tale an eerie feeling. Throughout the story, the actions that Connie takes against Arnold portrays the damsel as a tragic victim of a man who has such a sexual appetite for the poor soul that her fate becomes unavoidable.

In the end though Cinderella found her prince charming the stepsisters saw her go away.
