Comparing Perralt's Cinderell D Aulnoy And Grimm

1. The elements of Cinderella are all different in every way. All have either the presence, or absence of a fairy godmother, different levels of violence, and the ending. But the most common elements consist of, sibling rivalry between the sisters, her innocence. The rule that Cinderella must return from the ball by midnight, and the characterization of the prince.
2. Folktales back in the eighteenth and nineteenth were told by the elders mostly for teachings for the little ones in the group. Fairytales that are told today are much more “disneyfied” and have happier ending and are for the reader's enjoyment
3. The Grimm brothers argued for preserving the tales exactly as heard from the oral sources, scholars have determined that they sought to improve the tales by making them more readable.
4. Perrault and D'Aulnoy and Grimm have two very different
versions of the tale of Cinderella. Perrault's version of the story is more fairytale like while D'Aulnoy and Grimm took a very violent and not so fairytale like approach to their version of Cinderella. Perrault gave nonviolent endings to everyone involved in his story while D'Aulnoy and Grimm did not. Their version of the story involved the mean stepsisters getting their eyes pecked out by pigeons and eventually going blind and Perrault's version ended with them getting married.
5.
Perralt’s version of Cinderella was a one of a kind folktale. It is the original story and the first one ever wrote. That is why it be considered canonical over all other Cinderella stories.
1. Of the versions of Cinderella presented in this chapter, Perrault's version of the story is what a lot of people would consider most familiar to them. Many people have heard Walt Disney's version of this story, and Perrault's version is almost exactly similar to that.
2. Cullen's "Interesting to Note" may suggest to some that the release of Walt Disney's version of Cinderella may be him trying to promote feminism in some way. During the time he released his version, which was in the 1950's, women were seen as ideal housewives and mothers and were not needed in the workforce. But, Disney's version suggests that women did not have to put up with that. They are just as capable as anyone else to do the things that they want. Women should be able to go out and have fun and not have to stay home, clean and take care of everything. They should be able to do what they want, and in Disney's version, that is what Cinderella
did.
4. In broad cultural terms, suitability is determined based on age and how mature the child is. If the child does not have a very mature mind, the subject matter of whatever the child is going to be seeing, hearing, or reading should be highly censored to protect his young mind. To determine the suitability for one's younger siblings or children, they would take into consideration what was mentioned above. If the child has an innocent mind, blatantly exposing them to something that may startle them is not a good idea. The stuff being shown or read to a child needs to be censored to what they already know. So, therefore, determining the suitability of a young child will be based on what they already know and what their mind is capable of handling.
