Critique of ““Cinderella”: A Story of Sibling Rivalry and Oedipal Conflicts.”
In the article ““Cinderella”: A Story of Sibling Rivalry and Oedipal Conflicts.”, Bruno Bettelheim expresses how Cinderella is apparent in the lives of citizens. Cinderella, “the best known fairy tale” (278), depicts the struggles of sibling rivalry. Sibling rivalry becomes a concern due to a number of reasons, such as one child feeling inferior or sensing he or she deserves to be degraded. Despite jealousy commonly intervening between siblings, the parents fail to recognize the issue and therefore, are unable to resolve the problem. Although Bruno Bettelheim in ““Cinderella”: A Story of Sibling Rivalry and Oedipal Conflicts.” claims that Cinderella causes sibling

The background information was meant to help readers understand the story, yet this material appears of very little relevance to the underlying meaning. Although the origins of the fairy-tale story were irrelevant, Bettelheim states examples which help the reader relate to the topic of sibling rivalry. He shares examples such as the story of Cain and Able to connect the reader to the biblical side of destruction and greed (279). Granted Bettelheim incorporates useless information in the beginning of the article, he is able to strengthen his argument by including references to biblical examples of sibling …show more content…

- Cinderella Vs Grimm Brothersanalytical essayCinderella’s step sisters are portrayed to lack morals (goodness and kindness). Through-out the Grimm version, the lack of morals is widely spread. In the fourth paragraph, they insult insinuating that she is a stupid goose. In the fifth paragraph, these step sisters take away the beautiful clothes f Cinderella and end up giving her wooden shoes as well as dressing her in an old gray smock. They always misused her and took advantage of Cinderella’s kindness and goodness; when they were preparing to attend the ballroom, they asked her to comb their hair, brush their shoes and even fasten their buckles. After the prince chose Cinderella instead of them, they became so angry due to their jealousy. In Perrault’s version, the lack of morals of Cinderella’s sisters is shown in their insults such as nicknaming her Cinder-Clod in the third paragraph.

1358 wordsRead More - What Is Sibling Rivalry In Cinderellaanalytical essayBettelheim relays his argument about sibling rivalry with evidence mostly based on his Freudian way of thinking, and comprehension of his article may be challenging to one who isn’t familiar with this psychological type, such as when he explains how children have incredibly vile thoughts of murder (281). Other ideas on romantic love for a parent and the ridding of parents because of guiltiness may all seem unorthodox to one who doesn’t agree to what Bettelheim is insinuating on these topics. But, also interests in the way it shows a different view on a child’s feelings of jealousy and attention. More supporting evidence from other scholars or writers on these issues to back up Bettelheim’s claims could help with the believability and understanding of what his statements are saying. On the other hand, had Bettelheim used others as references, the relation of sibling rivalry to Cinderella may not have been as vivid or interpreted in a way Bettelheim did not intend. Bettelheim writes specifically to show an outside thought process on Cinderella and her step-sisters, and emphasizes the feelings of jealousy and malice in relation to a child and the child’s siblings. Each statement of his article does generalize to this main topic, helping to better understand the overall meaning of “sibling rivalry”, which is a fascinating topic, despite a possible disagreement of

Some aspects expressed in the Bettelheim’s article include the the impact the things they watch and listen too influence their very perspective of live and their personalities. In one such instance the author discusses the impact princesses, like Cinderella, have on their children. Upon seeing the story, they subconsciously feed off of the fact that the plot “shows that behind the surface of humility of Cinderella lies the conviction of her superiority to mother and sister.”(Bettelheim pg282) As a result, the author comes to the conclusion that children are often less inclined to feel guilty for their actions towards their siblings when presented with stories like Cinderella that set the vile nature of her step-sisters and parent figure into perspective. Furthermore, the author states so in the body of his article saying, “children, on hearing her story, feels have need not feel guilty about his angry

This is evident in the tale Donkeyskin by Charles Perrault and Cinderella by the Grim Brothers.

Donkeyskin reminds a child that his/her parents love is undying and wants what is best for them; while Cinderella stresses the importance of becoming independent.

942 wordsRead More - Feminism and Fairy Talesanalytical essayIn a society unbridled with double standards and set views about women, one may wonder the origins of such beliefs. It might come as a surprise that these ideals and standards are embedded and have been for centuries in the beloved fairy tales we enjoyed reading as kids. In her analytical essay, “To Spin a Yarn: The Female Voice in Folklore and Fairy Tales”, Karen Rowe argues that fairy tales present “cultural norms which exalt passivity, dependency, and self-sacrifice as a female’s cardinal virtues.” Rowe presents an excellent point, which can be supported by versions of the cult classics, “Cinderella” and “Snow White”. Charles Perrault’s “ The Little Glass Slipper” and the Brothers Grimm’s “ Snow White” exemplify the beliefs that females are supposed to be docile, dependent on the male persona and willing to sacrifice themselves. In many cases, when strong female characters are presented they are always contradicting in these characteristics, thus labeled as villainous. Such is the case of the Cinderella’s stepsisters in Perrault’s “Cinderella” and the stepmother in the Brothers Grimm’s “Snow White.” These female characters face judgment and disapproval when they commit the same acts as male characters. With such messages rooted in our beloved fairy tales it is no wonder that society is rampant with these ideals about women and disapprove of women when they try to break free of this mold.
