Cinderella is Fienderella.
There is no question about it. Cinderella didn't get to marry Prince Charming and live happily ever after in the castle. That's just what grown-ups tell their children in the futile hope that it will teach them the values of being good and getting rewarded for being honest, good and true even in the most disparaging moments of our lives.
But we all know differently that the world is entirely different from fairy stories. Don't we. But then do we? Most fairy stories are usually a result of something happening in real life but then being economical with the truth or over exaggerated on various parts of the story. Or taking the truth and applying it to another situation. How do I know this? Simple - most fairy stories have a moral point that it is trying to teach and storytelling a good way to demonstrating. So what was once true now becomes embroiled with fantasy. And so it is with Cinderella, now Fienderella.
Everyone knows the "lovely-pure-little-girl-enslaved-by-her-wicked-stepmother-who-makes-good-in-the-end-by-marrying-a-prince" story. But few know the truth. If you did, you'd probably think twice about looking at anyone for too long if they have those deep violet eyes.
What would make a quiet, unassuming, overlooked, often ignored except when being battered girl who finds out that she is really beautiful (especially by everyone else's standards) and so makes Prince Charming chase her until he finds her and then promises to marry her so that they could all live happily ever after?
And what made Cinderella turn into Fienderella?
