It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Theses and Dissertations by an authorized administrator of Digital Commons @ ACU. ABSTRACT Fairy tales hold the power to influence societies and to challenge societal injustices, and the story of Cinderella exemplifies both of these roles. In this study, I conduct a rhetorical analysis of four different versions of the Cinderella narrative: Charles Perrault’s “Cendrillon,” the Brothers Grimm’s “Ascenputtel,” Anne Sexton’s “Cinderella,” and Disney’s Cinderella (2015). I examine Perrault’s “Cendrillon” and the Grimms’ “Aschenputtel” using constitutive rhetoric. This theory operates around the basic premise that rhetoric holds the power to aid in the shaping of societies. While analyzing “Cendrillon” and “Aschenputtel,” I specifically look for themes of classism and nationalism, respectively. I then examine Sexton’s “Cinderella” and Disney’s Cinderella (2015) using feminist standpoint theory as my theoretical lens.

  • Ye Xian E Le Sue Sorelle
    Corso di Laurea in Lingue e Civiltà Orientali Tesi di Laurea Ye Xian e le sue sorelle Relatore Ch. Prof. Marco Ceresa Correlatore Dott. Tobia Maschio Laureando Mila Moioli Matricola 773354 Anno Accademico 2012 / 2013 介绍 我的论文题目是灰姑娘故事的原型。 我选择这个题目是因为：第一，灰姑娘的故事是公认的最广为人知的童话故事；第 二，也许很少有人知道，灰姑娘的故事其实起源自中国唐朝。 这个故事的原型和一部名为《酉阳杂俎》的书有关。该书作者段成式曾任冀州知县， 也就是当今吉安地区。 《酉阳杂俎》可以被看作是一本传奇类作品，其包含了很多精彩的故事，奇闻异事， 民间传说以及异域流传过来的见闻。 这本书内容丰富，有三十个章节。 在二十一章节我们可以找到“叶限“的故事。我们可以发现这个故事和灰姑娘的故事 惊人的相似。 叶限的故事是有关一个女孩年纪很小的时候没有了母亲，父亲娶了另外一个女人，这 个继母带着她自己的女儿嫁了过来。当叶限的父亲过世后，继母便开始折磨刁难叶 限。她们把叶限当作佣人使唤，甚至让她去危险的地方取水和柴火。 一天叶限在一个池塘里发现一条漂亮的有着红鳍和金色的大眼睛的金鱼。她十分喜欢 这个金鱼并且养了这个金鱼。随着金鱼一天天长大她不得不换更大的容器给金鱼直到 有天金鱼长的太大以至于她不得不把金鱼送回到屋后的池塘中去。 这条金鱼变得很有灵性，它只在叶限出现的时候现身于池塘。叶限一直用剩饭剩菜喂 养着它直到它长到了三米长。可是继母用计谋抓住杀死并且吃了这条鱼。叶限十分伤 心，大声哭泣。此时一个神灵从天而降告诉叶限，如何找到鱼骨并且如何向鱼骨许愿 获得礼物。叶限照办了，得到了食物美丽的衣服以及珍珠等宝贝。 在一个节日里，继母不让叶限出去参加盛会。叶限向鱼骨祈祷，得到了美丽的衣服和 鞋子。叶限穿着它们去参加了盛会，但因害怕被继母她们认出，因而近匆匆的从会场 逃离，一只鞋也因此跑掉了。 这个鞋被一个人捡到并卖给了另外一个国家 的国王。这个国王到处找鞋的主人最终 找到了叶限。国王娶了叶限做王后，而她的继母以及女儿则被乱石打死。 叶限的丈夫十分的贪婪，不停的对鱼骨许愿以求得财富。一年后，鱼骨不在给予他们 任何东西。一天晚上潮水上涨淹没了掩埋鱼骨的地方。 我的论文主要分四个部分分析这篇传说。 第一个部分是有关灰姑娘的，以及对灰姑娘类型的童话故事的一个定义。主要是说明 什么样的故事可以被称为“灰姑娘类型”故事。不同时间，不同地点里的不同版本的 灰姑娘故事。我的分析从一个据说是灰姑娘最早版本的故事开始。这个故事是一个古 埃及的传说。由一位古希腊的作者记录下来。这个故事讲述了一个美丽的女孩的鞋被 一只鸟偷走并丢到了法老的膝盖上，法老寻找这只鞋的主人，最后找到了这名女孩并 与她结婚的故事。 然后我们能看到很多来自世界各地不同版本的灰姑娘的故事。有时候故事里的灰姑娘 是一个杀人犯，有时候又是被其父亲性侵犯的受害者，有时候则是被亲生母亲憎恨的 可怜人，等等等等，直到我们看到著名的格林兄弟和贝洛版本的灰姑娘。 我将阐述一点关于民间故事的资料。它们的起源以及通常的特点。以及它们与叶限故 事的联系。 第二部分主要是针对叶限故事里的文学以及修辞的分析。 这一部分会涉及到对酉阳杂则中某部分的描述，对不同译本的讨论，以及对相关古汉 语名词的分析等等。 这篇传说里的很多名词都很难懂，也不好翻译，我们必须结合当时的背景，文化，地 域特点等来更好的理解它们真实的含义。 也就是本论文的注解部分。该部分有很多不同的词句。

  • Cinderella: Other Worlds, Other Versions Mogdoleen Te Ste R
    Cinderella: other worlds, other versions mogdoleen te ste r (This paper is based on illustrations of different versions of Cinderella to a large extent. As it was impossible to obtain permission to use the illustrations from all the copyright holders, these have been omitted, but references are provided to the works containing the illustrations - Editors). There was once upon a time a gentleman who married for his second wife the proudest and most haughty woman that ever was known. She had been a widow, and had by her former husband two daughters of her own humour, who were exactly like her in all things. He had also by a former wife a young daughter, but of an unparallelled goodness and sweetness of temper, which she took from her mother, who was the best creature in the world (Perrault 1961). ★ In a great palace by the sea there once dwelt a very rich old lord, who had neither wife nor children living, only one little granddaughter, whose face he had never seen in all her life. He hated her bitterly, because at her birth his favourite daughter died; and when the old nurse brought him the baby, he swore, that it might live or die as it liked, but he would never look on its face as long as he lived. So he turned his back, and sat by the window looking over the sea, and weeping great tears for his lost daughter ... And, meanwhile, his granddaughter grew up with no one to care for her, or clothe her; only the old nurse, when no one was by would sometimes give her a dish of scraps from the kitchen, or a torn petticoat from the ragbag; while the other servants of the palace would drive her from the house with blows and mocking birds, calling her “Tattercoats” (Jacobs 1968:185).

  • New/Revised Thesis Update
    FAIRY TALES REINTERPRETED: PASSIVE PROTAGONISTS TRANSFORMED INTO ACTIVE HEROINES ! ! by Lauren Ashley Price ! ! A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in English ! ! Middle Tennessee State University August 2014 ! ! Thesis Committee: Dr. Martha P. Hixon, Committee Chair Dr. Patricia Gaitely, Committee Member Dr. Tom Strawman, Department Chair ! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ! This thesis has provided me with an invaluable opportunity to research a field of academia that I am incredibly passionate about, and while this endeavor has been exhilarating, it has also been exhausting. In addition, writing is often an isolating task, but throughout this journey I have never truly been alone, since I have been blessed with a community of family, friends, and colleagues who have always been willing to listen to me speak about my progress, while also supplying me with endless notes of encouragement and words of wisdom. Often, multiple times throughout the day, I was reminded that I was kept in the thoughts and prayers of many of these special people. Additionally, I would like to thank Dr. Patricia Gaitely for generously agreeing to serve as a reader for this thesis, and for her insightful suggestions that strengthened the finished product. Words cannot express my gratitude to my director and mentor, Dr. Martha Hixon, for devoting endless hours to this project and to me, not only during the thesis process, but throughout my entire graduate school career. My life will forever be changed because of our work together. Finally, I would like to thank my mom, Julie, for too much to be shared here, but especially for the countless books that she read to me as a little girl, and for her constant encouragement and reminders to me, her grown-up girl, that she is my “biggest fan.” Her support gave me the courage to pursue graduate study and helped me to maintain my determination to finish, and for that, and so much more, I will always be thankful.

  • The Formal Representation of the Fox and the Crow
    Appendix 1: The Formal Representation of The Fox and the Crow In chapter 10 of her book, Possible Worlds, Artificial Intelligence and Narrative Theory, Marie- Laure Ryan offers three formal representa- tions of the Aesop fable, The Fox and the Crow. Ryan expresses a certain amount of dissatisfaction with each of the models that she explores, the narrative grammar model, the plot-unit model and the recursive graph model, particularly over the issue of adequately representing the Fox’s deceit. As I have argued in this book, this kind of outcome can be formally represented using Proppian genotype analysis, by means of the concept of the Reciprocal−Retrospective function, a function that is observed in both The Robber Bridegroom and The Frog Prince. Here is my representation of the structure of the Aesopian fable, The Fox and the Crow. What the analysis aims to make clear is that a very short fable like this one still utilizes the basic story structure first uncovered by Vladimir Propp. In this version of the fable, the second and third functions of Requesting and Violation are omitted. In The Fox and the Crow, the Initial Situation is not a function. But the reader is asked to imagine that the Fox has a den somewhere close by the tree on which the Crow is sitting. First function: Arrival The Fox leaves his den in search of food and arrives beneath the tree on which the Crow is sitting. In this sense, the Arrival of the Fox indicates his status as the Villain. Second and third functions: Request/Violation In this fable, there is neither a second nor a third function.
