One topic Panttaja mentions is‚ “Indeed‚ Cinderella’s mother’s role is far from marginal: the words and actions of Cinderella’s mother are of vital importance”. Panttaja suggests that even though Cinderella’s mother is not a main character in the story‚ she is the reason Cinderella does end up having a happy ending.
