991 words
Parents play an important role in a child’s life so it is only natural that these roles are portrayed in fairytales meant for children. This is evident in the tale Donkeyskin by Charles Perrault and Cinderella by the Grim Brothers. The differing roles of the fathers in these tales, along with the similar roles of mothers, establish two different beliefs to impart on a child. 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. Both of these beliefs recognize and address a child’s simple desires and fears. In the story of Donkeyskin the father role is portrayed by a king married to a beautiful queen.

Therefore, when the prince holds a festival she seizes on the opportunity to improve her life. She is able to provide her own dress and attends the festival without the help of her family. Throughout her life, Cinderella is forced to do chores and undesirable tasks. As the family continually relies on her, she is able to develop an inner strength and sense of independence that allows her risk betraying her family and attending the festival. In the end, her independence is rewarded by marrying a handsome prince and becoming a princess. Donkeyskin gives the child an important message as well. It reminds and reassures a child that their parents want only what is best for them. Even if the parent may be wrong, their intentions are pure. The father in Donkeyskin expresses his misplaced love for his daughter by giving her elaborate gifts on her request. Even when she disobeys him and runs away, he is overjoyed to see her again. He is pleased to see that she is happy with her newfound …show more content…
In Cinderella, the absence of parents teaches Cinderella that they will not always be there. She must learn to help herself and become independent. Whereas in Donkeyskin, a Kings misguided beliefs force his daughter to run from him, despite his presence. Although the King portrays his love for his deceased wife and daughter in the wrong way his daughter is able to forgive in the end. Although their styles differ, parenting becomes the overriding theme in both fairytales. Parents are usually the most important figures in a young child lives. That’s why children can so easily relate to

The fairy tale “Donkeyskin” follows the story of a princess who suffers at the incestuous advances of her father, the king. The story begins with the queen, her mother, being close to death, at which time the queen makes the king promise to only marry again if he can find someone more beautiful and wise than she. After the queen’s death, the king tries to fulfill his promise but can only find one person that fits the requirements: his own daughter. The princess goes to her fairy godmother for help, who advises the princess to ask for the impossible, first a dress like the sky, then a second like the moon, a third like the sun, and then finally for the skin of the treasured Master Donkey, a donkey who excretes gold and keeps the kingdom wealthy. The king manages to grant every request made by his daughter. Finding no other option, the princess runs away, at the advice of her fairy godmother, shrouded in her donkey skin. At this point in the story the connection between this fairy tale and the fairy tale “Cinderella” are clearly seen. The princess begins to work in a kitchen, and would only don her otherworldly gowns when she is alone, but the prince of the new kingdom where she abides spies her in her royal gown and falls in love with her.

As Arthur Schelesinger puts it, it’s about “[expanding] imagination” and gaining understanding of mysterious places (618). While doing this, it also helps children to escape this world, yet teach a lesson that the reader may not be conscious of. A wonderful story that achieves all of this is Cinderella, but not the traditional tale many American’s have heard. Oochigeaskw, or The Rough-Faced Girl, and Ashputtle would be fitting for a seven-year-old because they get the gears of the mind turning, allowing for an escape on the surface, with an underlying enlightenment for children of the ways of the world.

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.
