Fairy tales were never a means of encouraging a passive women’s character, they should never be related to a society’s customs. All the fairy tales are meant forever delivering the same message that everything gets well in the end, fairy tales have always been a way of motivating the kids with positivity in their minds about whatever bad happens in the world it eventually has to end with everything good and happiness, if it’s not happy its not the end- is the basic moral of all the fairy tales we’ve ever heard, they should never be made a reason to create inequality in children’s mind.
Cinderella is a story of a girl’s life where she’s faced a lot of miseries and in the end it was female fairy who helps her to be happy, the prince in the end was just a means of showing us that it all ends well. Women in these fairy tales have always played an important role, even in Cinderella, she tries to fight for herself but ends up failing but she still tries and with the help of a fairy she wins. Fairy tales have always been a means of spreading positivity and these make a beautiful part of a kids life, hence we should never stop telling them these stories.
