Is it that no matter how poor you are, as long as you look good, you are set?

Would she have had the same ending if she was ugly?
2006-07-14 16:15:28 · update #1
I always thought the fairy godmother was actually hired by the king and queen who wanted their son to be married.
i mean look at the result. She brought to the party a girl who was not only beautiful and hard working but who was also well trained in being subservient and catering to other peoples needs.
All the prince had to do was be charming in public and check out all the babes in the kingdom before making a decision.
and the fairy made sure not only that Cindy was the best dressed but that Cindy made a very noticeable entrance and exit.
it could be argued that Cindy's running away like that might of made the prince think she was not interested in him just for his wealth and position like all the other girls were. which was another reason for him to fixate on Cindy.

Moral Of Cinderella Story

No Sir. The moral of the story is that, no matter how much penury you are in, you ill have a good prom... oh wait that's not it.
Okay I have it now, good always wins over ugly. Yes that's it.
But common, isn't this a bit too obvious, Cinderella is always under the cosh from her employers and she gets rescued by the god fairy female, gets married to the Prince, ie everything turns out for the best if you can get one of those fairy things, too bad the dish washing liquid doesn't work that way.

I think the basic subject of most fairy tales is the triumph of good over evil. Cinderella is unfortunately placed in the situation where her evil stepsisters and stepmother force her into slavery and treat her badly. Even through it all, she keeps a good attitude and essentially "turns the other cheek". In the end she got the thing that her evil family members wanted, and went to great lengths to keep her from getting: the prince. Good always wins.
On that note, some friends and I have noticed that disney movies in general have really contributed to the breakdown of the "family". If you pay attention there is hardly ever both parents around in fairy tales. Cinderella, just the dad. Pochohauntus, just the dad. Beauty and the Beast, just the dad. Sleeping beauty was sent away from and basically grew up without her parents, raised by 3 magical sisters with no father figure. Mulan does involve both parents, both its femenistic undertones (thats a whole 'nother question) erase all points that it gained for having both parents in the picture.

If you think about it, a lesson you can learn from this film is that Cinderella can never prosper without her Prince Charming. You can even see this moral in "Snow White and ...," which you also learn here that women are the sin (when she bites the apple). She relates to Eve from Genesis and how women are the original sin. I'm not saying this to be messed up with women. It is just something I realized. It seems like all those Disney Princesess rely on men, which is not true. Hey, beauty can play a big role to get all what you want. You have a point. I mean no disrespects to any girls with this observation. Take care.

It doesn't matter how dark your circumstance,
Cinderella let's us know that we all have a chance, to be whomever we want in life,
whether alone or some prince's wife.
Good lives on happily, while evil dies away.
This is what Cinderella is trying to say.

Karma. They all looked down at Cinderella because of her down-to-earth-ness. They knew she was a pushover, taking granted of it. Finally, Cinderella got what she wanted and the sisters finally knew what "what goes around comes around" means.

I believe you're confusing the Disney version of Cinderella. In the book, it never mentions whether or not, if Cindy is attractive or not! The moral would be to have faith (in something)...the fairy godmother 'made' things happen for Cindy, that she would never had, on her own...But, it was her inner-beauty that attracted the prince to her, and it was the prince's faith, that he would look the countryside over to find his true-love...and they live happily ever, after. Perhaps, that doesn't happen too often in everyday life, but, having faith in the fact that it 'could', keeps us going on, and not giving up on ourselves.

That your dreams can come true?
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true

Research indicates that good looking people make more money than uglies. Taller people do as well. I just heard a couple of days ago about a study that said that people whose photos were rated as good looking were consistently getting higher marks on tests, college tests I think. Go figure.

The moral of the story is--don't run to fast in heels...or you'll lose a shoe!
