Both Lady Tremaine and her two daughters (the step sisters) are envious of Cinderella. This is why she is made to wear tatters and treated like a servant. This is also why they prevent her from going to the ball and try to keep her from being seen with the prince's representative goes house to house looking for the person who fits into the glass slipper. They knew that she was a prettier person, both inside and out.

There are different versions of CInderella, so you need to be specific. It is the world's most widely told fairy tale, and there are 100's of versions from a variety of cultures.
The step-sisters envy Cinderella her father's love, her grace and beauty, her mother's reputation. Her saving grace (in Western, Disneyified versions anyway) seems to be that she never envies her step-sisters, even when she is their servant -- she is above that type of thing. Her goodness is her reward, in a very Christian way,and she gets all in the end. In mose traditional versions the step-sisters and step-mother are either killed or maimed.
Get an annotated fairy tale collection from your local library. It will help with this report, and your instructor will be impressed.

it is shown in a lot of ways. The ugly step sisters are envious of cinderella's beauty so they make her do all the work. They are envious of the small foot to the owner of of the slipper by trying to force their big feet into it.

Seems pretty obvious if you've ever gotten to the point, and the point of the story that recreates the GRAND ball.
