Recommended: Evolution of cinderella

In the original Cinderella by the Brothers Grimm, there is barely any mention of a father figure. This may be because “when Jacob was 11 and Wilhelm, 10, their father died.” Their stories most likely have no father because for a vast majority of their lives, they had no father figure. This can especially affect them because they didn’t have a father figure through their maturing years. However, in the story of Cinderella, there is a father figure but he seems to leave often. “It happened that the father was once going to the fair…” He is not talked about other than a small portion of the story.

  • Little Red Riding Hood by Bill Delaney

    937 Words  | 2 Pages

    At first glance the characters Connie from “Where are you going? Where have you been?” and Little Red Riding Hood from the classic fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood” may seem to have nothing in common. However, from the start one can compare how much they actually have in common. Though these two characters are very different they are the same in many ways. Their story, from beginning to end, is similar. It is easy to see how alike and different they are with the description of Connie and Little Red Riding Hood’s lives, the relationship with their wolves, and their tragic endings.

  • Dracula by Bram Stoker

    As the saying goes, “Women can do everything Men can do.” In the Gothic Novel Dracula by Bram Stoker, there is a constant theme of sexuality, from both male and females in society. In the Victorian era, the roles of male and females have caused a lot of tension. After reading Dracula, some would argue the roles men and women hold in society. As mentioned in Dr. Seward’s Dairy from Val Halsing., “Ah, that wonderful Madam Mina! She has man’s brain—a brain that a man should have were he much gifted—and a woman’s heart. The good God fashioned her for a purpose, believe me, when He made that so good combination” (Stoker and Hindle, 2003 250). A women’s mind is not the always the first thing on a males mind. Some would overlook what a woman really has to offer.

  • Cinderella Vs Grimm Brothers

    1666 Words  | 4 Pages

    Charles and Perrault and Grimm Brothers have their own distinct versions of Cinderella. These versions use different periods of time though they feed from the same plot and their formulas seem similar too. Since the time periods are different, these versions of Cinderella try to personify both the social and economic situation of the period in which they are set. This is the same case that applies to the character development since the characters are made to reflect the living situation of the time period when the particular version was written. For instance the Cinderella’s version of Perrault tends to reflect the family of Cinderella at a very high, well-off situation than the Grimm Brother’s version. The Grimm version begins the story of

  • Women In Cinderella, Or The Little Glass Slipper By Jacob And Wilhelm Grimm

    For centuries, women have struggled in the fight to gain equality with men. Despite the major advances in civil and political rights, society still has a long way to go in addressing the issue of gender inequality.

This notion has been significantly presented in literature causing women to appear less powerful than men, more specifically, in the fairly tales “Cinderella, or the little Glass Slipper” by Charles Perrault and “Ash Girl” by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. The stereotypical depiction of women only being ambitious toward marriage has led to women being inferior to men.

  • Dracula by Bram Stoker

    1720 Words  | 4 Pages

    Evil never conquers because good always overcomes it. A good example of this is the book Dracula by Bram Stoker because the author expresses the nature of good vs. evil. Dracula wants to come to London because he wants to turn everyone into vampires. The basic background of the book Dracula is when Jonathan Harker, a realtor who is sent to Transylvania to complete a transaction with Dracula so he can come to England. What Harker does not know is that Dracula has a plan for world domination. Well, while Harker is on a train to Transylvania he enters “the east, a section of Europe whose peoples and customs will be for the most part, strange and unfamiliar” (Dracula, 20). Harker arrives at Bistritz on the eve of St. George’s Day, “a night when evil things in the world have full sway” (Dracula, 21). When Harker first sees this, he is unconcerned about these superstitions. Then he sees something that is very peculiar. An old woman is very afraid of the word “Dracula.” She offers Harker a gift of rosary to protect him of evil spirits. After she gives him the rosary, he starts to feel uncomfortable going to the Borgo pass on the following day. The Borgo pass is very important because this is the place where Dracula’s carriage will await Harker. Well on the next day, a crowd of peasants gather around the carriage mumbling linguist words that seem to have some kind of link to the word vampire. Then the “whole crowd makes the sign of the cross and point two fingers at Harker” (Dracula, 30), to wish him a safe journey. When the carriage dashes by the country peasants, they knell and cross themselves. Until this point Jonathan Harker does not know the “Dracula beckons Harker into his castle and into a horrifying adventure ...

  • Cinderella Theme

    1111 Words  | 3 Pages

    The modern romantic comedy often relies on the Cinderella effect: a member of the highest class just happens to fall in love with a member of a lower class, resulting in the fairytale ending where everyone gets rich (by mere coincidence). Back in Jane Austen’s day, women used marriage as a tool for socioeconomic independence and advancement, or “the usual inducements of women to marry” (84). A person’s class determined marriage opportunities, and one had to choose the logical (not romantic) option. Every woman needed to marry in order to gain independence from her father, which is where the disorder of Austen’s novel, Emma, comes in. At first Austen provides the illusion of romance (love overcoming socioeconomic boundaries) and Emma’s eternal
