representations of women - Cinderella

1. Cinderella is consider very beautiful even though she is the slave of the home. The two step sisters and step mother envy her beauty so much that they don't let her do anything other than being their slave and clean the house.

2. Cinderella is 16

3. Cinderella I think, isn't in a position of power at her home because she is made to cook and clean the house and have no privileges at all, not even being allowed to leave home while her step sisters have all power over her. I do however think she gets a little power when she sneaks out to the ball and gets to dance with the prince.

4. Cinderella is the house slave even though she's apart of the family. She cooks and cleans all day, everyday, never being able to go out and socialize like her step sisters do.

5. Some personal characteristics include:
- scared
- pushover
- independent
- lonely

6. A fairy godmother appears before Cinderella and helps her become beautiful by making her a gorgeous dress and a waiting carriage to take her to the ball to dance with the prince.

7. I think that if males saw her when she was in her rags and cleaning down in the basement, they wouldn't think she was beautiful, but when she's all dolled up and goes to the ball, they would think she was stunning. The prince, at the ball thinks she's beautiful, therefore he dances with her, and even after the ball, tries to look for her with her lost slipper.

8. Her step sisters and step mother know she's beautiful so they treat her like she's nothing so they feel like they're more beautiful. They are jealous of her because the prince wants her and not them.

9. She is rewarded by getting married to the prince. This happens because she went to the ball and danced with him, he obviously fell for her beauty and wanted to find her and marry her.

10. In the end, Cinderella is rewarded after her long years of being the slave of the house, being treated like dirt and nothing and being pushed around by her 'family' by getting married to the prince.
