The Prince had become even more infatuated, and Cinderella in turn became so enchanted by him she lost track of time and left only at the final stroke of midnight, losing one of her glass slippers on the steps of the palace in her haste. Sweeping the floor, the Victor the castle janitor saw the glass slipper and quickly grabbed it before the prince came down the stairs.
''Maybe I could tell the prince about this glass slipper and tell him that the glass slipper was to that very young beautiful lady that just transformed her self into a country girl, very weird'' he thought.
''You know what? Let's give the slipper back to that lady, I just need the right moment to act!'' he thought as he quickly took his broom and moved to an other room to

Cinderella, try to find the missing glass slipper in the palace today!
''I will try.'' she said sadly.
For the rest of the day, Cinderella tried to find the slipper in the palace by sneaking in, but she was unsucessfull, and went to bed thinking of the party the next day. It was a beautifull saturday morning, and Victor and Cinderella were doing their normal sweeping job, Victor, very exited and scared for the party, and Cinderella, scared of looking ridiculus with only one slipper. Meanwhile the fairy godmother was preparing all the spells, still trying to figure out how to solve the slipper problem. Finaly it was eight o'clock,
Victor was sweeping in the corner of the hall with the glass slipper in his little bag waiting to see the princess, the prince was at the front gate introducing all the guests and of course waiting for the princess he loved, and Cinderella, in a beautifull dress and cariage, with only one slipper. As she walked to the front gate she met the prince, the prince not knowing she was missing a slipper, joined

''Of...course'' said Cinderella, realy scared.
Victor saw the princess and recognised her, so he came up to her and asked her:
''Is this yours miss?''
Amazed, Cinderella responded:
''Yes it is! Well thank you for this glass slipper, it is very clean! You shall have the pleasure to put it on my foot!''
Really amazed Victor obeyed, gently putting the glass slipper onto her foot.
The prince was jalous, but he did not want Cinderella to know, so he acted normal.
''Thank you'' said she
''Welcome'' Victor said
''For this act you will be free tomorrow'' said the prince
''And for the extra work you did to this slipper, you can stay with us the night'' she
Cinderella is about a beautiful young girl that is mistreated by her step family. They give her the worst chores, make her sleep in a very dirty room up in an attic, and even give her the name “Cinderella” because they say she is always playing in the cinders of the fire. Cinderella is different though because despite being mistreated, she is still very nice and warmhearted. She represents how you should act in a world full of hate. If you are nice to everyone despite their rudeness and hate you will be rewarded in the end. Since Cinderella was so nice to her step sisters throughout her whole life, when she wanted to go to the ball her fairy godmother granted her wish. Cinderella got to go to the ball and looked absolutely beautiful, beautiful enough to catch the attention of the prince. While at the ball she was still very nice to her stepsisters, giving them food and telling them how nice they looked. When the stepsisters got home from the ball that night, they explain how lovely the mysterious princess was and how they thought she was so beautiful, not knowing that the mysterious princess was Cinderella. Cinderella played it off like she knew nothing of the princess but agreed with them that she must have been very beautiful. The next day came around and the stepsisters returned to the ball the
At the ball, Cinderella meets the Prince, who instantly falls in love with her and they spend the whole night together. At midnight, Cinderella runs away, but leaves behind a glass slipper, which the Prince encounters while looking for Cinderella. The Prince goes on a search for his true love and finally finds her, they marry, living happily ever after. The plot line of this tale has been used over and over again in movies, books, and tv shows since people like the story so much.
...gently every day and now has found the love of her life. Also, this version of Cinderella is more magical than the original which is more along the lines of today’s fairy tales. The movie Cinderella emphasizes that working hard and being well-behaved will result in an abundance of rewards.
Instead, she takes her burdens as they come. Clare R. Ferrer noted in her article, “heroines are not allowed any defects, nor are they required to develop, since they are already perfect.” At the beginning of the story, Cinderella is described as “remaining pious and good” in-spite of the loss she endured. Cinderella is such a good person, that she takes the abuse from her step-sisters with grace and never asks for anything, nor does she reveal to her father or the Prince the type of life she has succumbed to living. Beauty goes hand-in-hand with being a good woman. According to Parsons, “a high premium is placed on feminine beauty…Women are positioned as the object of men’s gaze, and beauty determines a woman’s ...
It all begins with “Once upon a time” and ends with “and they lived happily ever after”. “Cinderella” is a very widely known story that many children around the world look up to and admire through their entire life. The history of this story, how scholars interpret this tale, and how the authors have retold the story are all key points to keeping this story fresh and popular. Most of the time when people hear the story of “Cinderella”, they think about the Disney version and maybe it is time that changes. All in all, the story brings light to everyone’s life even if they only know the original “Cinderella”.
A young girl is forced to live with her step-mother and step-sisters after her father and mother die. She becomes the maid of the family, tending to their every need. Eventually there is a ball; she acquires a fairy Godmother, goes to the ball, falls in love with the prince, blah blah blah. All you really need to know is that she has a happy ending. A happy ending. No matter how much suffering she went through in her early years, at the end, it all came together and she had no more worries. And this is the problem. Cinderella is not realistic. It never was and never will be. Watching this movie when I was young made me believe there was a prince waiting for me somewhere. I grew up thinking that life was simple and uncomplicated, that I did not need to worry about the future because there was a man that would provide everything I wanted and needed. But as I got older, I realized this was not the case. I saw many of my friend’s parents divorce, people die, and the world fight with each other. My fantasy died off, and I realized I had to work hard for myself, and not others. The poem Cinderella by Anne Sexton made fun of the ending of Cinderella. She states, “Cinderella and the prince / lived … happily ever after … / their darling smiles pasted on for eternity. / Regular Bobbsey Twins. / That story.” (Sexton 11). Notice who she referenced and how she has a sarcastic tone. Cinderella and the prince smiled for others, trying to convince
Most classic Cinderella movies made Cinderella look and feel as if she was “helpless” and “weak”. However, this movie made Cinderella feel strong and positive. This Cinderella is one who isn’t afraid to speak her up her mind to anyone not even the Prince. Like when Cinderella has him if he has any idea of how a girl should to treat. When the prince answered “Like a Princess you suppose”. You would agree with him. However, Cinderella cringed and frown. She said “No, like a person with kindness and respect.
Cinderella was an ordinary girl who lived with her step-mother and step-mother. They lived in London. She was abused at home a lot and at school too because her step-sisters always embarrasses her. She didn’t have friends because she didn’t know how to socialize that well. She did have friend but she moved and completely changed herself. It was two days before the dance. She wanted to go so bad but she knew her step-mother will never let her. But she wanted to go and she is going to have the guts to do. She asked her step-mother.
Cinderella has two step sisters instead of one, she cleans the mansion instead of the rice patties, she goes to the ball and dances instead of attending the festival to watch, her sandal is a glass slipper and her black ox is a fairy godmother. Her gift from her fairy godmother is a dress and glass slippers, but it differs from the other story in that the fairy godmothers gift is terminal; all of it goes away at midnight. She loses her slipper running away as the clock struck 12, and the prince matches her foot to the shoe the next day in a village-wide search. The theme in the two stories is the main character achieving success through perseverance, optimism, and a little luck, and the conflict is also the same in being locked up by mean stepmothers. Even with the same theme and conflict, there is major difference due to the
As the world has transformed and progressed throughout history, so have its stories and legends, namely the infamous tale of Cinderella. With countless versions and adaptations, numerous authors from around the world have written this beauty’s tale with their own twists and additions to it. And while many may have a unique or interesting way of telling her story, Anne Sexton and The Brother’s Grimm’s Cinderellas show the effects cultures from different time periods can have on a timeless tale, effects such as changing the story’s moral. While Sexton chooses to keep some elements of her version, such as the story, the same as the Brothers Grimm version, she changes the format and context, and adds her own commentary to transform the story’s
Walt Disney’s Cinderella is adapted from the original fairy tale written in 1697 by Charles Perrault. There are some key differences between Walt Disney’s Cinderella and Charles Perrault’s Cinderella. In Charles Perrault’s tale, Cinderella’s father is not dead, but the father is controlled by the stepmother. Cinderella’s younger stepsister is much more polite than the older stepsister, who calls Cinderella Cinderwench. The king in Perrault’s tale hosts a two day Ball, which Cinderella attends with the help of the fairy godmother. During Cinderella’s preparation for the first night of the Ball, Cinderella helps the fairy godmother find a coachman when the fairy godmother could not find one. Cinderella’s glass slipper comes off on the second night of the ball. Similar to Walt Disney’s Cinderella, the prince in Perrault’s story announces to marry a woman whose foot will fit in the glass slipper. Unlike the Walt Disney’s tale, Cinderella is not locked up in the attic and the stepmother does not physically attempt to stop Cinderella from trying the slipper. Instead, the step sisters ridicule Cinderella when Cinderella suggests trying on the glass slipper. Cinderella wears the slipper and takes out the other slipper from a pocket which Cinderella puts on the other foot. Suddenly, the fairy godmother appears and transforms Cinderella’s ragged outfit to a magnificent gown. After the transformation, the step sisters recognize Cinderella as the unknown beautiful princess who attended the Ball and beg for forgiveness. Cinderella forgives the step sisters and marries the step sisters to the great lords of the castle. The prince marries Cinderella, however, Perrault does not mention about the prince and Cinderella living happily ever after.
The Glass Slipper Fairytales, the short stories that most children hear as they go to bed, are actually folktales from previous decades. The fairytales today are primarily adaptations of older versions recreated by Disney— the pioneers of this generation. With that said, the modern versions consistently display good triumph over evil, a prince charming that constantly comes to the rescue, and a happily ever after ending. However, the original folktale version didn’t always come with fortunate events, but often were more violent and gruesome. With the fairytale Cinderella, Disney maintains a similar theme as its Grimm version; however, the conflicts, events, and characters that support this idea are rather different.
The classic tale of Cinderella is well known for the fight of overcoming great obstacles despite great odds. However, there are always a few ill-hearted people who go out of their way to cease any competition that they might face, as seen with Cinderella’s step-sisters. Samuel Jackson says is his distinguished quote, “The hunger of imagination…lures us to…the phantoms of hope,” to help develop a more defined view of a fairytale. The story of Cinderella fully embodies the ideals of a true fairytale by encompassing magic, hope, and struggle between good and evil throughout the duration of the plot.
Each person in the world has heard of Cinderella, no matter what kind of version it may be. Cinderella is the one fairy tale story that has been popular and will always be the one tale that has to be told to children. Words and story lines might be twist and turn, but in the end the knowledge of the story will be learned in similar ways. As we all know when one story is told another is created, when one is at its best then another is at its worse. One version will always be better than another, but no matter what version it might be the story will be told.
