Unpacking Cinderella

*To keep in mind - Cinderella classic plotline:*

C's beloved mother dies - father instantly remarries
Stepmum & 2 ugly step sisters despise C and force her to do the dirty work
Prince throws a ball - Stepmum & ugly sisters force C to help them get ready
(C wants to go too)
Stepmum taunt and deny C to come with them
Fairygodmother/Some magical interception helps C out with nice dresses and
an awesome ride (so she'll look the part)
Prince tries to find his runaway ballpartner with the slipper
Finds C, the shoe fits,they live happily ever after.

Some ideas that drive the tale of Cinderella to keep in mind:*

Beauty = Goodness
A Man will set you free (if you're beautiful) and take you from:
Rags to Riches
Controlling idea: CLASS: we can transition from being from poor to rich,
THROUGH A MAN, through our FEMININE WILES → BEAUTY.
//need to be able to manipulate a man in order to change your social status
(TRUE fact back in the day).
