Comparing Cinderella And Yexian

There are two different versions of “Cinderella”; there is a Walt Disney version and another version by Anne Sexton. Both of these versions are the same, but they are told to the reader differently. In both versions of the story, the authors describe a girl who was enslaved by her evil stepmother and her step sisters, who has shown jealousy towards her. However, the most important part, about the two versions of the “Cinderella” story told by Disney and Sexton is that both have different elements that are comparable and contrasting. The elements that compare and contrast both versions of the story are the plot, characters, characterization, and conflict.

The external conflict is seen in the situation that arose between Sir Percy and his wife Lady Marguerite, which was caused by lack of communication and trust, and was intensified by each of their prides. Internal conflict is exhibited through Lady Marguerite’s conflict about whether she should save her brother or the allusive hero known as the Scarlet Pimpernel, which ends up saving her marriage. At the end of the novel we learn that Lady Marguerite, Sir Percy, Armand, and the fugitives that the Scarlet Pimpernel had gone to save, all make it to England safely. While the book’s ending is not entirely clear, it is a relatively happy one. Although they never resort to violence, the way Sir Percy and Lady Marguerite handled their conflict is not exactly considered peaceful. Hence, even according to Ronald Reagan, conflict exists in Baroness Orczy’s

On the other side you want to stay true to the original Rogers and Hammerstein musical that you are retelling. Yet there was also a clear message in the story that was not in the original Rogers and Hammerstein or the Disney version.

This is not only shown in the situation between the evil advisor and the people, but also in the dynamic between Cinderella and her stepmother. Thus, as the story progresses, you can see the theme of reconciliation and justice in both the relationship between Cinderella and Madame, and also with the poor people of the kingdom, and their new king Topher.

Grimm’s Cinderella is similar and different from Perrault’s Cinderella or (The Little Glass Slipper) because of the moral of kindness, themes, endings.

Some gruesome parts in Grimm’s Cinderella is more towards the end of the Grimm fairy tale when the sisters cut off part of their feet. In Grimm’s version the shoe was too small for one the daughters so, “ the mother gave her a knife and said, "Cut the toe off; when thou art Queen thou wilt have no more need to go on foot. " When that did not work the other daughter tried on the shoe and her heel was too large.

While many think Cinderella it is thought of a poor girl that had a good life with her parents. Cinderella had a mother and a Father at the beginning of all three versions of Cinderella.
