Today in class, we discussed the two different forms of Cinderella. In a couple of versions, she is portrayed as a strong dependent woman who can easily fend on her own. In another version, Cinderella is categorized as weak, unopinionated, and naive. The plot usually remains the same (loses her slipper, meets a prince, overcomes every obstacle, etc.) however, it is striking how different these two versions of her are. Sometimes I wonder which Cinderella I would be if I was placed in one of those situations. I would like to think I could be headstrong, determined, and brave. However, a part of me believes I might sometimes be that naive, speechless person. I think that the modern woman is a combination of these two Cinderellas. We all have our moments where we wish we would have spoken up. However, we also have experiences where we stood up for what we believed and were proud of it. These two Cinderellas are two extremes of a common woman in today's society. I know right now I am going through an experience where I do not know if I should stand up for something, or just give up. Hopefully, I will choose the right Cinderella.
