The Glass Slipper

French courts at this time were famous for their opulent lifestyle and lavish balls. In the story of Cinderella, the prince held two balls in quick successions. In order to fit the social standards of the time Cinderella had to have a lavish gown, glass slippers, horses and a carriage. Another way the myth discusses the French history at the time is by its title. The name Cinderella is derived from the time cinders (Dundes, 1988, p. 12). A cinder is a product from the incomplete combustion of…

Have you ever felt alone or left out at school? How about at home? Cinderella was left out most of her life after her mother died. In Grimm’s Cinderella, her father did not want her nor did he care for her. However in Disney’s Cinderella, her father tried to take care of her, but he eventually died. Even though she had a rough life as a servant, she still looked for love, and she ended up finding it. While some similarities between Grimm’s Cinderella and Disney’s Cinderella are noticeable, the…

Cinderella Cinderella has been transformed and interpreted in many different ways. There are many different versions such as the Disney version. While reading about the author you will see there are many connections that connect his personal life to his stories. The theme throughout Cinderella is that through the story she still is able to achieve success through everything negative happening. She does not let how they treat her affect the way she treats them. Cinderella was just like his…

control, and women are depended to men. In the animation, the King shows that he has the power to get a woman for the Prince. When the Grand Duke tells the King that the maiden for the Prince ran away and left her slipper, the King gives an order to find the maiden who fits the slipper. He says, “If the shoe fits, bring her in” (Cinderella). This shows that the King does not care who the lady is, as long as the Prince will marry her, and she gives grandchildren to the King. Another scene that…

they're many more that I did not think of. The glass slipper Cinderella leaves at the ball parallels with the cyborg foot Cinder loses when she attempts to escape the ball. On page 365, “On the fifth step, she heard the bolts snap. The wires tore loose, like tendons stretched to the max. She felt the loss of power at the base of her calf, send a blinding warning signal up to her brain.” This evidence is quite gruesome but still shows that the glass slipper links with the loss of the foot because…

back by 12 o'clock. She drops her glass slipper, and the prince orders a proclamation whoever fits the slipper will be his wife. Ashenputtel's story is less traditional than Cinderella this story starts with the father going to a fair and bringing back a hazel twig that Ashenputtel planted on her mother's grave anytime she made a wish her godmother/ bird would bring her everything she needed to attend. On the last night of the feast, she dropped her gold slipper. Prince proclaimed marriage to…

Cinderella was a stepdaughter, and her stepmother was sure to remind her of that. Cinderella was treated unfairly and very poorly. In fact her stepfamily treated her like a slave not at all like a family. Often Cinderella was left in tears after an encounter with the new family. Cinderella was so much better than them, she was human unlike the others who were two faced. While the other two sisters got to go out and have fun Cinderella was left at home scrubbing floors and tending to laundry…

The stepmother and older stepsister did not allow Cinderella to attend the ball and they locked her in pantry. Fortunately, Cinderella childhood friend help her free and make her a pair of winds for the ball. She dressed up her mother dress and slipper then goes to the ball. When arrives at the ball, her…

In the original the stepsisters of Cinderella try to cut off different parts of their feet to make them fit into the glass slipper. Sounds more like a horror movie then a children book. In the Disney version the stepsisters could not fit into the glass slipper just because they simply had bigger feet. Another difference in the original Grimm Brother’s story is that the Prince is alerted of the stepsisters coming by two pigeons who then…

nothing of it afterwards but it became game time. We arrived at the Royal Ball except I had a mission to complete. 20 minutes had passed and there she was, She walked through the doors in a bright beautiful blue dress, a blonde updo, the sparkling glass slippers and jewelry covering her. By her side, was Belle, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. I’m surprised the dwarfs and the beast didn’t show up. It was time for her to get busted. Music was playing, people were having a good time and mingling. I…
