The Cinderella Story: Differences Between The Grimm Brothers Story and The Disney Story

In the world, there are a bunch of various stories, fairy tales, or medieval romance stories, and movies that are created. Everyone within the world has detected of Cinderella, regardless of what quiet version it should be. Cinderella is the one fairy tale story that has been in style and can continually be the one tale that must be told to kids. It would be a tough task to search out the initial story as a result of with fairy tales we tend to extremely recognize wherever the initial came from. With these different types of Cinderella stories, everybody appears to love all of them. I'll base my paper on the speculation that the initial tale of Cinderella comes from the Grimm Brothers' version of Ashputtle. Compared to the movie of Cinderella directed by Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske, and Wilfred Jackson in 1950.

For centuries, the fairy tale Cinderella, that everybody has come back to understand and love has been told in many alternative countries and during a form of ways in which. though every story is totally different, all of them have similar meanings and everyone demonstrates however universal the Cinderella story is, in addition as however distinctive every version is to the actual culture out of which it grew. very few women everywhere the globe square measure told some style of Cinderella story and that they develop dreaming that in the future can|they're going to be a patrician a bit like the characters in the stories and that they will notice their suitor to comb them off their feet.

At the start of the book, once the stepparent married Cinderella's father, she and her two daughters became rich instantly, however to them it still wasn't enough. They could not stand any competition and they felt that Cinderella exhibited a threat to them. Cinderella's evil stepparent could not allow Cinderella, whose goodness created her own daughters appear additional hateful than ever. Therefore, she gave her the hardest responsibilities and chores to do, it was Cinderella who cleaned the pots and scrubbed the stairs, Cinderella was the one who polished the bed-chamber of madame and also those of her daughters. It was Cinderella who washed their clothes and did all the chores from the house. She was also given the worst room. This was an effort to take away her dignity, in order that the stepparent and her two daughters may feel superior to Cinderella and her beauty. Cinderella couldn't do something to defend herself from the pattern she received from her stepparent and stepsisters. She can only do what they asked. She ne'er complained to anybody not even to her father. Cinderella could not do something she needed to try to do or attend something.

In some versions just like the film from the movie maker the father passes away, however in Grimm’s story, he distances himself, calling cinderella his second wife’s kid, and not his own and he also allowed Cinderella to get treated the way she did. When first watching or reading about this story I didn't feel like it was very fair for Cinderella. No matter what happens to the father, either get divorced, the wife passes away, the couple breaks up, has problems at work, or is going through stuff a father should never forget about there daughter or son. A father should still make the daughter feel wanted or feel like their still important. They shouldn’t let anybody treat their kid any less than what they are. Cinderella basically looked like their made instead of a stepsister or stepdaughter and I don't think that should have happened. Everyone has feelings and in a family, everyone should get treated the same way and there shouldn't be any favorites between siblings.

To start off one of the differences between the Grimm brothers' story and the Disney story is that in the movie from Disney Cinderella has both the Fairy Godmother and the mice that help her throughout the movie. In the book, the birds take the place of the mice and there is a tree instead of the Fairy Godmother that helps her. In this story Cinderella never changes from a fairytale to a movie, her personality and character stay the same. Her mother tells her, before she dies, that Cinderella must always be good and kind no matter what. This is the reason that she serves the Stepmother unquestioningly and does as the stepmother says. In the Movie, Cinderella's dad passed away. In the story from the Brothers Grimm the father never died, he was alive and allowed the stepmother to be cruel to Cinderella.

In the story, the “godmother” which is the tree is a magical tree that Cinderella planted over her mother’s grave. Every night that Cinderella goes to the ball, she asks the tree to shake and pour silver down on her. The tree moves a little every night and gives Cinderella the best outfit every different night. In the movie of Disney, the godmother first appears in the film after the stepsisters rip up Cinderella's dress to shreds before Prince Charming's ball. The godmother shows up in the garden and changes the way she looks for the ball. She transforms the mice into horses, Bruno the dog into a footman, Major the horse into a coachman, a pumpkin into the carriage, and changes her ripped dress into a beautiful silver dress with glass slippers. Before Cinderella leaves for the ball the Fairy Godmother gives her a warning about the spell expiring exactly at midnight so she can be back before that time.

In the story from the brother Grimm, the prince pours pitch down on the steps, so that her heels would get stuck on the last night. That ends up happening and in order to leave she had to get her feet out of her slippers. The prince finds the slipper that she left behind on the steps. The prince orders every maiden in the town to put the royal Nike on her foot. In the movie, the finding of the royal Nike is due to Cinderella having to run back before midnight because the Fairy Godmother had placed a deadline of midnight, and the clock struck 12. It hard running with slippers so as she rushed down the stairs trying to get away it came off and she kept on running and jumped into the carriage.

Another major difference that happens between the movie and the story is towards the end when it comes to measuring the heels to the girl's foot. In the story from the Brothers Grimm, it's time for the stepsisters to try on the shoe but it obviously doesn't fit them because it's not their size. The stepmother then forces one of them to cut off her toe and the other sister to shave down their heels because she says “when they are queen, they won’t need to walk.” Eventually, they end up finding out because they had to ride past the grave. On that grave there was a hazel tree with two pigeons sitting on a branch that said “Rook di goo, rook di goo! There's blood in the shoe. The shoe is too tight, This bride is not right!”. When they heard that, that's when they will see the blood and turn the horses back around and take them home. In the movie from Disney, you can clearly see that the slipper doesn't fit the stepsister but the stepmother takes out the magic wand and makes it fit without no one noticing. They take her to the carriage and the guy comes back and double checks that there are no other women in the house. While this was happening cinderella was stuck in the room. That's when the mice steal the key and open the door for her to get out. When the guy was saying his final words that's when Cinderella comes running down and tries the slipper.

The last major difference between the Disney and brothers Grimm's story of Cinderella is at the very end. In the story from brother Grimm, once they are discovered that the slipper fits Cinderella and she marries the prince the stepsisters lose their eyes. They want so badly to get the reflected glory of Cinderella's royal wedding that they accompany her up the aisle, at which the birds peck one eye out. However, they still want it so badly that they accompany her back down the aisle, and that's when the birds promptly peck out the other eye and they both become blind.

Besides all these differences between the movie and the story written by the brother Grimm, there are some similarities that happen between them both. One similarity between them is that the stepmother and stepsister still treat Cinderella like a peasant. They don't treat her like she's part of the family or doesn't show any love towards her. They came to her to do all the house chores and keep her in an ugly room that isn't like the other ones. In both stories, she still ends up losing her slippers at the steps leaving the dance. The prince still sends out people to every house so the slipper can be measured to every girl's foot and whoever it fits the prince still marrieds the women that fit in the slipper. At the end of both stories Cinderella tries on the slipper and it fits her perfectly.

All together as a whole, both stories share the same morals. The first major moral would be to always be kind no matter what A little kindness goes a long way, and no doubt Cinderella is a kind soul. Cinderella's kindness allows her to be selfless, to remain grateful, and to appreciate others. The second major moral would be to always be Brave and Take Chances when you can. - After a long day of hard work, Cinderella still found the courage to say, 'I may be treated as a housemaid, but I deserve to go to the royal ball, too!' She takes a chance to go with her stepfamily, even though it doesn't end well. And even when that happens, she's still brave enough to risk a ride in a pumpkin carriage to spend a few short but glorious hours dancing. The last moral would be to never stop dreaming. She believes her circumstances can change, and she doesn't give up on her dreams. So when she actually has the opportunity to change certain moments, she's already prepared to embrace them.
