A Fairy Tale Romance
As a child, Halloween was always my favorite holiday. It gave me the chance to dress up and be whatever I wanted to be, kind of live out my deepest dreams. From the ages of 4 to 7, I dressed up as the same thing: a princess. As little girls, we grew up to the stories of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Beauty and the Beast. We based our dreams on these tales of love at first sight, being swept off our feet and falling for our Prince Charming on a white horse; we dreamed of our first kiss being the most memorable moment of our life; we dreamed of being so beautiful that when our prince looked at us, he couldn’t look away; we dreamed of being saved. But did we ever dream of love? As we began to grow older, we came to the realization that life is a lot different than any of these fairy tales, and we claim that we know things are much different in the real world. But do we? Sometimes, I think that these fairy tales have a bigger impact on our distorted view of love than we think. Is love what fairy tales are really all about, or are they just about being saved from our own reality? These are questions that can only be answered after careful analysis of said tales of “true love,” and after putting them into a
So after the wedding, Cinderella came to the realization that her prince was no prince charming. He was constantly telling her she didn’t look as beautiful as she did that night. He was the shallowest man she had ever met. He told her what to do all the time, and never listened to her. He was worse than her stepsisters and stepmother. The Prince always left the seat up, was constantly flirting with other beautiful maidens and at times, cheating on Cinderella with them. The Prince also was not fond of his beautiful Cinderella. Though she was lovely, she talked so much, and always cried in bed when the Prince wanted to sleep. She was helpless and never did anything on her own. Soon, the two had had it. Cinderella, for the first time in her entire life, took control and stood up for herself. She packed up all of her lovely things, sold them and used the money to buy her own house. She saved enough money to start her own shoe store in the village. The Prince and Cinderella both learned that there is more to love than money and love. Love is something that takes a lot of time, a lot of effort, and usually some conversation. And apart, they lived happily ever after. Finally after what seemed like forever, he came upon the house of Cinderella. The two ugly stepsisters didn’t even get a chance to try on the shoe, for they were so ugly that the Prince refused to even associate with them. Then he saw Cinderella. At first he began to walk out because she was sitting in the ashes, covered in soot and dressed all in rags. This was not the look of what his Princess would be. Cinderella then yelled out to him and begged him to let her try on the shoe. The Prince sighed, but reluctantly agreed, and was shocked when the shoe fit like a glove. He then proposed to her then and there to be his Princess. Without ever talking, she agreed, so happy that all her dreams were coming true. She had found true love in a Prince, and even better, a Prince who was goi
