Sleeping beauty

The story of sleeping beauty defines women as weak. The different versions of the story “Sleeping Beauty”, consist of the idea that women need men in order to survive. In the original story, sleeping beauty can not wake up unless she is kissed my the prince. This describes that women are nothing without men. This simply is not true. The first original story of sleeping beauty was created between 1330 and 1344. During this time period, women were seen as objects and not human beings. Men depended on the “ hopelessness” of a women to boost their egotistical manners. In the first revision of the original story, sleeping beauty had woken up to 2 babies. Her prince or her “ first love” had raped her. The author of the story depicted sleeping beauty as a weak women who needed a man in her life to give her happiness. This phenomenon of the fairytale depicts sleeping beauty as a stupid human being that only cares about a man. Without a man, she is nothing.
As a feminist, the plot of this story tells the readers how men are and how they treated them. They were not treated equal. Many people can make a case against this opinion and say that women are the reason for men’s happiness.  If it were not for women, men would not be the way that they are today. If it were not for women, a lot of us wouldn’t be here today. This world evolves around women.

Fairytales

A fairytale is a folklore or short story about magical beings and humans. Fairytales usually have the moral of an happy ending. The endings are never sad. The leading company Disney, always has happy endings to attract the younger population. But, the real stories that were produced were not created that way. The real stories show the horror of a situation and show the bad endings of the story. Personally I love the fairytale called Cinderella. In Cinderella, the story starts off as with a girl, three stepsisters, and her stepmother. The stepmom and stepsisters are mean to Cinderella. The stepsisters go to ball so one of them can have the prince fall in love with them. Cinderella wanted to go to the ball. A magical fairy godmother appeared to turn her rags into a ball gown and a pumpkin into a carriage. Once Cinderella gets to the ball, she dances with the prince. She already knows that when the clock strikes twelve; she has to leave the ball to go home. When the clock strikes twelve, she leaves but, her shoe falls off. The next day, the prince goes around town to find the girl with foot that fits the shoe he found. None of the stepsisters’ feet fit into the shoe. Cinderella’s foot fits into the shoe . The prince and Cinderella live happily ever after.
If I was in the fairytale, I would want to be the fairy godmother. The fairy godmother can turn anything ugly into something beautiful. She was the cause of how Cinderella found happiness. She was not happy in the house that she was put in. This fairytale was portrayed as a happy story.
