“Across all Cinderella versions it was clear that the 21st century was not very much in evidence, particularly in the character of Cinderella so it seemed, it felt actually as though it hadn't been done for quite some time, not with the kind of lushness that we could do it with, with an absolute removal of the passivity of Cinderella and finding an amusing way, a lighthearted but significant way of making her proactive and not a girl who's life is about waiting for a bloke.” WayKindDoneCharacterLife IsGirlFeltWaitingClearCenturyFindingsEvidenceAbsolutesSignificantVersions21st CenturyAmusingRemovalProactivePassivityBlokes Author:Kenneth Branagh

“The stories never said why she was wicked. It was enough to be an old woman, enough to be all alone, enough to look strange because you have no teeth. It was enough to be called a witch.

As for "a girl who was as beautiful as the day was long"... well, which day? In midwinter it hardly ever got light! The stories don't want you to think, they just wanted you to believe what you were told.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantBelieveWellsLooksLongSaidBookEnoughStoriesLightWantedBeautifulGirlStrangeEvidenceTeethWickedWitchHandsomeOld WomanAll AloneMidwinter Author:Terry Pratchett
“...but I’m trying to be inconspicuous.” Cinder considered telling him it wasn't working but thought better of it. The lack of a throng of screaming girls surrounding her booth was probably evidence that it was working better than she suspected.
