The commonly used saying, "happily ever after," originates in early fairy tales. Fairy tales are stories that feature imaginative characters who convey a moral to teach children lessons and values ​​they will hold for the rest of their lives. The Brothers Grimm's original "Cinderella" story and the subsequent Disney version Cinderella (1950) are both descriptions of a legendary fairy tale about a kind and gentle girl who overcomes her stepmother's grudge and stepsisters and finally finds a happy ending Although both stories have the same plot, the overall messages they convey are different In "Cinderella" by the Brothers Grimm, the moral is that one should never lie or be evil to others In the story, Cinderella's mother dies and a year later her father remarries an evil woman who has two daughters. The wife and daughters torment Cinderella, making her household chores boring Prince and fall in love. However, she runs away every night and he cannot find her. The prince finally takes one of his slippers and sets off to find the love of his life. Then he goes to his house and asks all the sisters to try the slipper. The stepsisters try to deceive the prince but “blood flowed from their feet” and they are eventually captured. When Cinderella tries on the shoe, it fits perfectly and the two get married. At the reception, two birds peck out the stepsisters' eyes, punishing them "with blindness as long as they lived." The archetypes of the story are Cinderella who is the damsel in distress, the prince who saves her, and the evil stepsisters and mother who are the villains. A convention is that true love always... middle of paper... sweetly every day and now has found the love of his life. Additionally, this version of Cinderella is more magical than the original which is more in line with today's fairy tales. The movie Cinderella emphasizes that working hard and doing well will lead to great rewards. Although the two versions are extremely similar, they contain slightly different morals. When the Brothers Grimm wrote their story, the world was a different place and children did not need to be looked after. That's why they chose to write such a cruel ending for their version. In modern Cinderella there is a profusion of magic and no violence, which is a change from the original story. By changing this and the ending, children get a different message from the story. However, both stories give children hope to live happily ever after.
