Anuj Arora July 10‚ 2011 Critique Mark Davis Not so Motherless In Elisabeth Panttaja’s‚ article Cinderella: Not So Morally Superior the author offers an analysis of the classic fairy tale Cinderella.

accustomed to‚ Anne Sexton’s poem‚ “Cinderella”‚ takes the tone of the original story of Cinderella written by the Grimm Brothers. Sexton uses examples that mirror situations that occur in the Grimm’s traditional version. These examples are all synonymous with what has become to be known as the stereotypical “Cinderella story”.
