Cinderella By Anne Sexton
I will start off using a quote from the story Cinderella "The eldest went into a room to try the slipper on but her big toe got in the way so she simply sliced it off and put on the slipper." When reading the story of Cinderella it seemed all but the same. However, their is certain things in the story that I wouldn't fathom would happen. On one instance the sisters would have done anything in their power to be with the prince, that means cutting off piece of your own body to make someone else happy? That seems to be farfetched, but when dealing with Feminist Criticism, they would analyze it by doing anything necessary to obtain wealth, power, prestige. It would seem outlandish for females to mutilate their own bodies so that they can gain all the material possession that they crave. On the other hand criticism would argue that this has been going on for years and nothing seems to be wrong with it. I'm astonished when I finished reading it.

ReplyDeleteAnthony,
ReplyDeleteGood starting point, using a quote from the story to initiate your thoughts about feminist criticism made it easy to follow. I am also astonished by the fact that some women will go to the extremes of cutting pieces off their bodies just to satisfy someone else with their outer image. It is absurd, but that seems to be the norm for a feminist critic right? crazy stuff..
