Cinderella As An Allegory Analysis

An allegory is a story, picture, or poem that can be construed to express a hidden meaning. Cinderella is a story about a girl who was forced into a life of cruelness and hardship. She is a kind a gentle soul who cares for everyone she comes across. This movie can be seen as an allegory for many different reasons. First of all, Cinderella’s parents represent Adam and Eve and the fall of man. When they died, the same way Adam and Eve died spiritually, Ella was forced into an awful life. Ella’s stepmother locks her out of her own family home the same way Adam and Eve were locked out of heaven. Also, the stag that Ella encounters in the woods represents Christ and Ella also comes across the Prince who, too, represents Jesus Christ. He brought her into his kingdom the way Jesus brought us into his kingdom, the Kingdom of Heaven. Ella shows kindness to her tyrannical stepmother the same way Jesus taught us to be kind to all life. Cinderella is a wonderful allegory for the Catholic Church’s beliefs. Ella is also a symbol of humanity. Humanity is good and pure, as she is. She realized how cruel the world was in an abrupt way.

By forgiving them, I will have a more peaceful life not being hung up on whoever has wronged me. I truly hope that others who have watched this movie are also inspired to be a better person. It really sends a great message, especially to little kids, about what life is really about and how we should live it. Showing others your kindness is also a great way to receive kindness back. Others will see how nice you are and be nice back. I have taken a great message from this movie, and I intend to remember it for a long
