Help me on the story of Cinderella!? (comparison to Romeo and Juliet)?

Question

This may sound like a weird question, so I'll explain a bit. I have to write about a comparison of Act 1 Scene 4 of Romeo and Juliet (the part where Benvolio and Mercutio try to get Romeo to go to the party and where Mercutio recites a monologue about his dream and Queen Mab.)

What I have to compare it to is anything else I have read in a book or seen in a movie. I was going to do Cinderella going to the ball, because I thought Cinderella didn't really want to go to the ball and it was the mice and fairy godmother that tried to get her ready. Then I realized that Cinderella DID want to go, so I don't think I can use that.
So I'm basically forgetting the Cinderella story, it would help if someone could refresh my memory to help me find another comparison.

Or, if you know of any other books or movies I could compare to that scene in Romeo & Juliet, that would be very appreciated!
Thanks.

Answer 1

Another approach might be to compare Romeo to the prince in Cinderella. He doesn't want to go to the ball. It's forced upon him by his father, who wants to see his son married and producing heirs to the kingdom. The long, boring receiving line of "eligible maidens" is a further demonstration that the prince doesn't want to be there. That is, until he sees Cinderella...

Answer 2

As I recall, Romeo wanted to go to the party because Rosaline would be there; his problem with it was the family feud. Everybody except the Montagues was invited. Similarly Cinderella wanted to go, but again her family created an obstacle to her going. (Everybody was invited, but her family wouldn't let her go.) Both went to the parties in disguise, you could say; though Cinderella's only disguise was that she was dressed up. It seems that Mercutio was trying to be like the fairy godmother, helping Romeo to meet his girl. Of course he met a different on than they expected.

Answer 3

No. Romeo and Juliet met one yet another at some point, have been given married the subsequent and died the day after or some thing that, yet we've been required to have self assurance it replaced into love in analyzing it. I examine "Romeo and Juliet" as quickly as some years in the past just to ascertain what the hype replaced into approximately, yet I had no genuine connection with the text cloth. human beings can tell me i don't understand custom and that i'm lacking Shakespeare's profound message or regardless of, yet I do merely not care and do unlike Shakespeare. do not even get me all started on "Othello."
