Criminal Behavior In Fairy Tales
I have analyzed one fairy tale and one nursery rhyme they have criminal behavior in them. The fairy tale that I will be analyzing and deciphering is “Cinderella”. The nursery rhyme that I will be analyzing and deciphering is “Tom of Islington”. “Cinderella” and “Tom of Islington” have very different criminal activities and behaviors. The crimes that are committed in these are illegal detainment, child labor, murder(not done)
The fairy tale “Cinderella” is about a girl whose father died and is left with her stepmother and stepsisters. Cinderella is pretty much a maid and servant to them. Her age is not known but it seems as though she is a teenager. In this story it says she is only given scraps. This seems as though she is not getting fed properly. …show more content…
That is where I come to say that the stepmother is illegally detaining Cinderella. She never gets to talk to other people or what it seems go off the property. I would say this is illegal detainment, but by ohio law unlawful restraint. “No person, without privilege to do so, shall knowingly restrain another of the other person's liberty”(ORC).
There is also child endangerment because the stepmother uses excessive discipline. “Administer corporal punishment or other physical disciplinary measure, or physically restrain the child in a cruel manner or for a prolonged period, which punishment, discipline, or restraint is excessive under the circumstances and creates a substantial risk of serious physical harm to the child”(ORC). Cinderella is just a servant, maid and slave to her stepmother and stepsisters. Cinderella’s mental health seems to be a huge issue and it is getting worse because the way she gets treated.
In the nursery rhyme there are few criminal acts that can clearly be seen. In the nursery rhyme the character Tom gets married on sunday. On monday he beat her. Tuesday, wednesday and thursday in summary she annoyed him. On Friday it says she was dead and he was glad saturday night to bury his wife on
