The young cinder girl’s stepsisters cut off pieces of their feet to fit into Cinderella’s shoe, and, at the end, they get their eyes pecked out by vengeful birds. As she suffers the horrors of her mother and stepsisters, her father is still alive and does nothing to stop the torment.
The Grimm Brother’s tale Aschenputtel, written in 1812, paints Cinderella in a much different light than the kinder versions we are used to. While it was originally thought to be created by Charles Perrault with his story Cendrillon in Tales of Mother Goose, which was written in 1697 and supposedly served as a major inspiration for Disney’s 1950’s animated film, perhaps the most famous written Cinderella adaptation was created by the Brothers Grimm. And it has been told in many different variants. The story of Cinderella has been around for centuries.
