  • The Fairy-Tale Facade: Cinderella's Anti-Grotesque Dream
    The Fairy-Tale Facade: Cinderella’s Anti-grotesque Dream Alexandra Robbins Cinderella and the prince lived, they say, happily ever after, like two dolls in a museum case never bothered by diapers or dust, never arguing over the timing of an egg, never telling the same story twice, never getting a middle-aged spread, their darling smiles pasted on for eternity. Regular Bobbsey Twins. That story. (Anne Sexton, “Cinderella”) In “The Model,” a fictional tale in Joyce Carol Oates’ Haunted: Tales of the Grotesque, Oates employs the simile “as vague and unexam- ined as a childhood fairy tale” (Oates 111). Certainly, fairy tales can heavily influence early childhood, particularly regarding perceptions of those characteristics and demeanors traditionally considered “good” or “evil.” As Madonna Kolbenschlag details in Kiss Sleeping Beauty Good- bye, “Fairy tales are the bedtime stories of the collective conscious- ness .... They are shared wish fulfillment, abstract dreams that resolve conflicts and give meaning to experience” (3). Not just mere short sto- ries with marketable maxims, fairy tales can worm their way into a child’s subconsciousness, where images and attitudes can then perpetu- ate societal standards. “Often despised as silly or grotesque,” Alfred Corn writes, “fairy tale is the Cinderella among literary forms, going so much further than its humble origins seemed to promise and providing us with many sharply outlined archetypes and clichkd metaphors (like the Cinderella analogy in this very sentence)” (612). Cinderella repre- sents the quintessential fairy tale, with its chaste damsel in distress, wicked steprelatives, patriarchal royalty, and, of course, Prince Charming and the ever-trite wish come true.

Van Dyk: Into the Woods: Queer Natures in Malinda Lo’s Ash It has been just over ten years since the release of Malinda Lo’s influential, queer young adult reimagining of the classic Cinderella story, Ash. This coming-of-age narrative uses fairy tale magic as a backdrop for the exploration of adolescence and queer identity, reinventing Cinderella as the young Aishling—who goes by Ash—a vocal and inquisitive young teen whose grief acts as a catalyst for her entry into the supernatural world. Much like the classic tale, Ash loses both of her parents within a few years and is left to the mercy of her stepmother and two stepsisters.

    Ashputtel Fairy Tale Reappears Into Dystopian Cinder THESIS Submitted as Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Sarjana Degree of English Department Faculty of Arts and Humanities UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya By: Aulia Kartika Sari Reg. Number: A93214138 ENGLISH DEPARTMENT FACULTY OF ARTS AND HUMANITIES STATE ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY SUNAN AMPEL SURABAYA 2018 ii iii iv v ABSTRACT Sari, Aulia Kartika. 2018. Ashputtel Fairy Tale Reappears Into Dystopian Cinder. English Department, faculty of Arts and Humanities. State Islamic University of Sunan Ampel Surabaya. Thesis Advisor: Sufi Ikrima Sa’adah M. Hum This study examines the elements and several concepts on Ashputtel by Brothers Grimm that have been modified and rewritten into Cinder by Marissa Meyer. This study focuses on the way characters on Ashputtel are reflected into Cinder and the way Fairy tale’s concept of Ashputtel is reappeared in dystopian’s novel in Cinder. This study uses the qualitative method and applies intertextuality as the main theory and new criticism as the supporting theory. The result of the study shows that both Cinder and Ashputtel exhibit some differences in the attitude and characteristics of the main characters, the characterization of the life-saver characters, and the prince’s personality. Moreover, some of the fairy tale concepts in Ashputtel reappear in Cinder in the concepts of good versus evil, magical hero, the setting of place and time, and the ending of the story.

That was brilliant. How did Prineas come up with the idea ...By Rachel NeumeierWhoever would have thought of making the Godmother the villain? That was brilliant.How did Prineas come up with the idea of zapping everybodyrsquo;s memory, occasionally multiple times, so that no one in the book knows their own histories or names? By the second half of the book, the main protagonist doesnrsquo;t even remember the first half of the story. That was brilliant.What a great notion, making so many of the secondary characters who might have been bad guys into sympathetic characters ndash; the stepsisters especially; even the stepmother by the end. So clever to show how these fundamentally decent people are being misshapen into petty tyrants by the way theyrsquo;re all trapped in the Cinderella story. And Prineas pulled this off with just a line here and a line there. That was brilliant.What an interesting stylistic choice, making Pinrsquo;s pov chapters first person present and Shoersquo;s pov chapters third person present.
