To Kill A Mockingbird Cinderella Character Traits

Decent Essays
“Cinderelly Cinderelly” call Jaq and Gus mocking Cinderella’s stepsisters. All the mice and birds Cinderella has saved are angry at Lady Tremaine, Cinderella’s stepmother, for not letting Cinderella design a gown ball. Jaq loves Cinderella because she waived him from being eaten by Lucifer, the cat. She loves him like family even those he's a little mouse. Cinderella did not obtain the trait of loving things from her stepfamily; however, she got it from her animal family. Cinderella’s most discernible trait is because of her “family” and it's why Prince Charming falls in love with her. Like Cinderella I've gotten traits from my family. These traits make me who I am because I look up to my family. One trait that I got from my mom is my love

    active characters and the importance of beauty. Lieberman notices that portraying Cinderella as a passive character, like many other females, is done purposely and causes a reason for concern. Cinderella is thought to be beautiful and kind, while her stepmother and stepsisters are ugly and cruel. Similar to other fairytales, the powerful woman is almost always considered the villain, while the passive girl is given the happy ending without having to work for it. The tale of Cinderella idolizes suffering in silence and expecting something good to happen in return (197).…

When passing birds, which had helped Cinderella with the tasks her stepmother had given her to prevent her from going to the ball and also presented her with the wardrobe each night she went to the ball, also informed the prince each time he passed with one of the step-sisters that they had a bloody foot in the slipper and each time he took them back.

    In some instances as in both movies, some people meet their soul mate early in their lives but somehow get disconnected from them until later on in life. Perhaps the most essential elements in finding true love and happiness are hope and persistency. We must all be like Cinderella and Sam and hope that one day we will overcome life challenges that prevent us from being happy and successful. We must also embody the characters of Prince Christopher and Austin in that we should be persistent and never give up on finding our soul mate. Both movies of the Rodger’s and Hammerstein’s Cinderella and A Cinderella Story depict different versions of the story of Cinderella but they both share the same concepts and themes: mistreatment of a young girl by her step mother and step sisters, the importance of father figures in a young girl’s life and the hope of finding true love and living happily ever after.…
