Analysis Of Panttaja's Explicit Reason For Cinderella

99 Words1 Page

Panttaja’s explicit reason for writing this article seems to be that she is trying to inform the readers on the differences between our societies view on Cinderella and how the Cinderella of the original story acts. However, Panttaja’s implicit reason is a bit more subjective. She is trying to persuade readers that Cinderella is morally compromised. The reason why this implicit message is not as prominent as the explicit message is because Panttaja uses excerpts from the book to tie into her argument. This created a good, professional discipline throughout the paper that made the whole argument very believable.

    As it has been said before, this is a feminist rewriting of the classical version of Cinderella written by Perrault or the Grimm brothers that consists of three short stories: “The Mutilated Girls”, “The Burned Child” and “Travelling Clothes”. The first one, “The Mutilated Girls” follows more or less the classical plot since Carter says that if she had changed it, she would have had to “provide a past for all these people, equip them with three dimensions ... they would have to learn to think and everything would change” (Carter 1993: 113). In this story she pays more attention to paternity and maternity.

  • Cinderella And Shrek Gender Analysis

    Cinderella is also portrayed as a young woman suffering silently, without taking any action and waiting for her Prince Charming to rescue her from her horrible life. This is as much a fairy tale convention as it is a gender expectation for women to be beautiful and silent. However, this wasn’t as much as a gender expectation in the 1800s as it is today. Cinderella’s father does not appear to be home as much as the stepmother, and this illustrates the type of work and expectations for women’s and men’s jobs in the 1800s. The father is probably commuting to work, and this is evident through the fact that he never sees the cruelty experienced by Cinderella.

  • Critical Analysis: The Brothers Grimm

    Cinderella would continue to live in a home with people who have no heart and do not care for her if it weren’t for what God and nature had done for her. I believe the purpose of the story was to show that once you are at the bottom, you can only go up. Though, Cinderella did have nature and God by her side, she progressed so much throughout the story, I could sense her confidence rising just from reading the story and picturing her character in my head and seeing her develop as the story goes on and as she sees how desperate and manipulative her sisters really are and how she truly is better than them. I believe the theme is good comes to those who are good because no matter how much Cinderella is put down she still does what she is told, she never acts up, says anything rude or maybe even to generalize it a bit more she does not stoop to their level of pettiness and desperateness. Once she does all of these good things, she gets good things granted back to her, good karma.
