Response to Bettelheim’s “Cinderella”
rtennant22 December 8th, 2007
Cinderella has always been one of my favorite fairy tales, but I have never thought so deep into the tale as Bettelheim does in his argument. Cinderella does face a life of sibling rivalry, where unfortunately for her, she is usually wrong. I can see how many children can relate to the tale of Cinderella. Whenever a child feels like he/she has been pushed around by a sibling, he/she can reflect his/her life to that of Cinderella and achieve a new feeling of hope.
