Americans "Cinderella" is not a story of rags to riches, but rather riches recovered; not poor girl into princess but rather rich girl (or princess) rescued from improper or wicked enslavement; not suffering Griselda enduring but shrewd and practical girl persevering and winning a share of the power. It is really a story that is about "the stripping away of the disguise that conceals the soul from the eyes of others "
I was really intrigued by the way they broke down Cinderella's story and described it. It honestly gave me a new outlook on the whole fairy tale. I was one of the people who had always saw it as a rags to riches story. Seeing this new perspective makes me appreciate the story do much more and makes me want to go back and reread it as well as watch the movies with this new point of view of Cinderella always being a princess.
