Cinderella
Cinderella is a primary example of the Graves/Jung stages of characterization. Rather than exclusively focusing on one interpretation of Cinderella, it is best to focus on two different interpretations. As we learned throughout the semester, the idea or goal behind the fairytales and folklores vary tremendously based on timeframe.

Even after years of mistreatment, she still believes there is a possibility her stepmother will do something nice for her, by letting her go. Unfortunately, that isn't quite the case. After not being
