emberology 's review for:
Cinderella
by Ruth Sanderson
Suitable for a young target group, but I think it's sad how the father's knowledge of the abuse was chosen to be included in this version. The father isn't malicious, just controlled and afraid, yet he's another parent who chooses his significant other over his child (doesn't matter much that he comes to his senses at the end).
I've never thought about this before, but it also feels a bit awkward that Cinderella is rewarded with all the nice things out of nowhere. "Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Mm, doesn't sit well with me.
I'm also not a fan of the fact that the stepmother and the stepsisters don't receive a proper punishment. A house arrest (enforced by birds, ha) for keeping Cinderella practically in slavery? Really? Again, though, that's a target group issue. Just not my preferred ending.
