Cinderalla - A fairy tale love?

Characterization is an important aspect of any story or film, because it sets what the entire film will be about, and how the audience will absorb it. In the short story version, the characters include Ashputtle which is Cinderella, the Stepmother, the stepdaughters, the prince, the father and the spirit of Ashputtle's mother.
