Ella Enchanted/Cinderella

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

A 4 page essay that contrasts and compares the film “Ella Enchanted” and the fairy tale story of “Cinderella.” The writer argues that the film “Ella Enchanted” is an updated and tongue-in-cheek retelling of the fairy tale. “Ella Enchanted” has basically the same structure as the 1919 version of “Cinderella.” There is a beautiful heroine, a handsome prince, and also a horrid stepmother and two equally horrid stepsisters in each narrative. However, the virtues displayed and valued within each story are entirely different. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
