Why Cinderella is the least popular of the "princesses"

po a comment from a friend Janet.
If you want to talk about Cinderella's bright spots, the natural reaction is that the crystal and the happy ending of life with the prince are nothing special compared to other princesses.

The most valuable part of Cinderella is only brought up this time in the movie "Cinderella": "Have courage, be kind". Then the reason why Cinderella is not welcomed by children and adults compared to other princesses is that, I don't know how long ago, adults and children were taught and educated a terrible thing, that is to be a kind person, that is Swallow it.

Thinking of it this way, Cinderella just swallowed her breath for a while and was able to be with the prince. So kindness (suffering) this shining point will be automatically ignored. Some people don't like Cinderella because they complain about the love between Cinderella and the prince, but they can live happily ever after looking at each other in the crowd. However, if Cinderella's characteristic is only kindness, then like many young and inexperienced silly girls in life, it is easy to fall in love with someone. Moreover, kind and silly cute girls who can chat with animals are definitely the women that men want to get. Therefore, the story stops when the prince and the princess live happily together forever, which not only satisfies everyone's purest love desires, but also fills the imagination of some people.

The story of Cinderella never tells readers that "as long as you are kind, you will be rewarded". The kind Cinderella is kind to the mouse, the mouse is willing to be a horse, and takes Cinderella to the dance, but after 12 o'clock the mouse is still a mouse, and the crystal slipper will still be broken if you smash it hard. Cendrillon is the French name for Cinderella, a combination of the two French words cendre and souillon. "cendre" means "ash" in French, and souillon means "slut".

I still like the way the movie "Cinderella" integrates and adapts the original book. At least in this era, I can remind everyone to be a kind person. You will not have good rewards, and you may be unhappy, but at least you are still a kind person. people.

There are many different versions of Cinderella's story scattered all over the world, some versions make stepmother and bad sister get terrible revenge, and even the ending of being blinded by crows, and some versions make Cinderella complain about her life . That being said, I think the director, screenwriter, and literary consultant of the film version did a great job of keeping Cinderella's unpopular image of kindness as always.

Why other princesses are more popular, I think it should be because they "have courage" more. The Little Mermaid bravely turned into a bubble for love, Snow White bravely fought against the Queen with the dwarfs, Elsa used her magic to save the whole town, Mulan bravely joined the army for her father, Rapunzel bravely cut her own magic Fa, Dabai also sacrificed himself to save the master... Cinderella, an orphan, did not fight against her stepmother and two sisters, did not dream of marrying the person she liked, but just promised her mother to be a kind person, And he has always been kind to everything around him, and finally married his first love. When the prince seemed to be hot for him for 3 minutes, he promised the prince that he would get married and be together happily. In comparison, Cinderella can't be liked by too many people.

Kindness is not the same as holding back. We often directly equate these two words in our lives, such as "I have been so kind to you, why do you still treat me like this".

This article is written like a missionary, but it really came to my mind when I watched Cinderella today, and my own favorite princess is Arial the Little Mermaid. Just think Cinderella shouldn't be treated as a woman who was rescued by fairies and made a good man to get light and a royal marriage.
