Cinderella Archetypes

The first fairytale that I watched was Cinderella. Cinderlla’s archetypes were firstly the main character was an outcast and a damsel in distress, the animals were her friends and were there when she needed them, the godmother had a sweet mother figure, and the step mother and sisters took the evil villain and monster roles. The second film I watched was The Sleeping Beauty, in this film the archetypes were also, a damsel in distress, animal helpers, the three fairy god mothers, and Maleficent as the villain and monster. Both films had sidekicks and a prince charming who help saves the damsel in distress. Although both of these stories are very different, they both have repeated architypes, as do many of the fairytales. The reinvented architypes
