Cinderella’s narrative is doubtless the most popular fairy narrative all over the universe. Her fairy narrative is one of the best read and emotion filled narrative that we all enjoyed as immature and grownups. In Elizabeth Pantajja’s analysis. Cinderella’s narrative still continues to arouse emotions but non as a love narrative but a contradiction of what we some of us believe. Pantajja chose Cinderella’s narrative to edify the readers that being good and piousness are non the ground for Cinderella’s covetous faery narrative. The author’s unfavorable judgment and forthright analysis through her usage of poignancy. ethos. and logos made the readers doubt Cinderella’s character and inquiry the existent ground behind her get marrieding the prince. Pantajja claims that Cinderella isn’t truly motherless and incapacitated as the old fairy narrative wanted the readers to believe. Her female parent played a critical function in her success in lifting to a place of power and influence. ( Pantajja. 1993. p. 644 ) Portrayed as motherless in the post-Freudian universe. Panttaja claimed it wasn’t true by utilizing Son in her analysis. The old fairy narrative wants us to experience sorry for her because her female parent is non around to steer and take attention of her. Her female parent in fact. played a major function in her success to lift in a place of power and influence. ( Panttaja. 1993. p. 644 ) .
Her mother’s charming power helped her in so many ways. The branchlet that she workss on her mother’s grave grows in to a tree that takes attention of her. It besides gives her the frocks that she needs to go to the ball. Panttaja narrates that. it was thru her mother’s charming influence that Cinderella manages to get the better of all the barriers in her opportunity of run intoing the prince and in the terminal she succeeds in conveying about her daughter’s advantageous matrimony to the prince. ( Panttaja. 1993. p. 645 ) Panttaja made a strong point that Cinderella’s mother possibly physically absent but her spirit and thru charming powers was able to go on to act upon her daughter’s life. Panttaja uses ethos to carry the readers to believe that Cinderella and her female parent are non morally superior to the stepmother and her half sisters. In her analysis. she stated that Cinderella’s female parent is non different from her wicked stepmother because she is besides capable of making evil things. She can extinguish any barrier that will halt her girl from traveling to the ball by tweaking the half sisters eyes ( Panttaja. 1993. p. 645 )
Pantajja’s scrutiny merely certify that Cinderella’s female parent has more advantages because she has charming influence that she can utilize for her ain daughter’s benefit. We may name her selfish like the stepmother because she will make anything what the wicked stepmother wants to make for her ain girls. to guarantee a hereafter a hereafter of power and prestigiousness and to get married the right adult male. ( Panttaja. 1993. p. 645 ) In decision. one can’t be morally superior than the other if you act egotistically for the benefit of one individual. Another important portion of Elizabeth’s usage of poignancy is the narrative that Cinderella’s victory is her wages for her innate goodness and long agony. She was besides described in the old fairy narrative as a incapacitated victim How can you name person a victim and more so incapacitated if she can ploy insurgent Acts of the Apostless and disobeys her stepmother? ( Pantajja. 1993. p. 646 ) The reader’s would decidedly agree that Pantajja made a strong place in conveying out Cinderella’s existent character. She was a entire antonym from being good and obedient harmonizing to Pantajja’s analysis.
The writer uses luxuriant words that will do the readers agree with her. She informs the readers that Cinderella non merely disobeys her stepmother. she besides enlists out assistants. uses charming power. prevarications. fells. dissembles. and disguises herself. Panttaja besides claimed that Cinderella wins the conflict in get marrieding the prince because she was craftier and through magic by hammering of her ace natural confederation. She was able to score the prince non because of her piety and beauty. Cinderella wins the conflict because her female parent was able to supply a arresting gown no ordinary frock can vie. ( Panttaja. 1993. p. 646 ) It is obliging to believe that everybody who reads old narrative feels sorry for her and fails to see the other side of her. Readers were deluded to believe that if you are good so you can be like Cinderella and will hold your opportunity to derive power and prestigiousness. Pantajja was successful in edifying the reader’s point of position of Cinderella’s character and was able to turn out and demo her true colour. Panttaja besides succeeded in informing the readers that there is non just game in Cinderella’s fairy narrative and everybody should non experience sorry for her but the prince because he was the true victim in this narrative.
Elizabeth Pantajja made us recognize the things that we fail to see about Cinderella’s true character. Pantajja provides grounds and used citations to act upon the reader’s perceptual experience. She besides captured the readers mind by oppugning Cinderella’s morality and love doesn’t exist in her narrative. Panttaja efficaciously uses poignancy in depicting Cinderella’s “alleged” romantic love with the prince. ( Panttaja. 1993. p. 646 ) While we all wanted to believe in love at first sight and romantic love. the writer thrive in turn outing that there’s nil in the text that evoke Cinderella’s feelings towards the prince and frailty versa. Cinderella with the aid of her female parent bewitches the prince so that they can derive power and turn out that she’s better than her stepmother and half sisters. Therefore. love and physical attractive force which is the chief ground why two people marry was out genuinely out of the inquiry. The prince married Cinderella because he is under a enchantment. The prince’s oft-repeated statement. “She’s my spouse. “as good as his obsessional hunt for her true bride. proved that he is so under a thaumaturgy and non free pick. ( Panttaja. 1993. p 646 )
