Presentation transcript:

It is speculated that Cinderella stories have been circulating for thousands of years. The first complete written version is said to have come from China. The story of Yeh-Shen dates back to 850 AD and includes the familiar details of a cruel family and a magical helper. THE HISTORY OF CINDERELLA

There are estimates of up to 700 different versions of the “Cinderella” story from cultures around the world. However, perhaps the most recognizable is Charles Perrault’s version, which came from France in 1697 and was immortalized by Walt Disney in THE HISTORY OF CINDERELLA

There has been a long-standing debate among folktale collectors regarding the widespread popularity of the “Cinderella” story. Some believe there was one original version, which was passed through travelers and inevitably changed by storytellers to make it more appropriate for their audience. Others believe the stories were created simultaneously and separately in various cultures around the world. One thing they all agree on is that the “Cinderella” stories come from more parts of the world than any other folktale. THE POPULARITY OF CINDERELLA

CINDERELLA AROUND THE WORLD

Regardless of its origin, all versions of this story include at least some of the same traits. Common themes include: a beautiful and kind heroine (or in a few cases hero) magical assistance (unusual helper) & transformation protagonist is often mistreated by family or those around her love and marriage is the goal recognition is made by some sort of shoe in the end, the heroine’s beauty and worth is finally discovered and appreciated. CINDERELLA STORY ELEMENTS

Although there is a Cinderella “type” (pretty and kind), each Cinderella has her own unique characteristic(s) For each Cinderella protagonist, there is an antagonist Each Cinderella has a particular goal in mind Cinderella’s goal and the opposition from the antagonist create the story’s conflict. CINDERELLA STORY ELEMENTS

Like all fairy tales, fables, and myths, each Cinderella tale contains references to objects or beliefs unique to its specific culture. By focusing on the differing cultural aspects within these familiar tales, the reader can make inferences about each specific culture: items valued within that culture, desired attitudes, preferred characteristics, special ceremonies or holidays, morals and values, etc. WHY STUDY CINDERELLA TALES?
