Drawing from the profound insights of Marie-Louise von Franz, remember that all fairytales act as a mirror to the collective unconscious, unveiling universal themes and archetypal characters that resonate deeply with the human psyche. This story transcends its narrative to become a guide of symbols for the process of female individuation, reflecting a feminine journey towards psychological integration and self-discovery. Through symbolic language akin to the dreamscape, “Cinderella” presents not just a tale of trials and triumphs, but a pathway to understanding the deeper layers of personal growth and the archetypal journey ingrained in our collective heritage.

I never thought much of Cinderella's father for allowing his wife and step-daughters for treating his natural child in the way they did.
-
I have to say those gowns are beautiful
-
This is for all the people with the pronunciation problem with the word hearth. It is one of the words that depends on your place of origin. Both "harth" and "herth" are correct. Same that herb is correct as "erb" and "herb."
-
Forgot the last part where the sisters are struck blind for the rest of their lives as punishment.
-
The paintings are beautiful Thank you for giving the carriage horses feathers (fluffy feet). I work with Clydesdales and don't see them in media very often
-
You left out the end, where at Cinderella‘s wedding the doves pick out her stepsisters eyes.
-
The sisters had their eyes plucked out by the doves in the original story...😮
-
This story was pretty sloppily constructed. It failed to mention the fact that Cinderella's father had died. The step-mother pretty much disappeared until the end, with the eldest daughter taking most of her role. Finally, it left out the part where the birds pecked out the eyes of the step-family.

Every time you said”herth”😩

ROMANS 6:23 FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

The Grimm Brothers version 😊
-
Beautiful Cinderella story. This version is probably my favorite story out all Cinderella stories I've ever heard. Read too. Movies I've seen. I know this for a fact 😊. Every girl in the world always dream of her Cinderella night. Dancing the night away with her true love or a guy she mysteriously just met at a dance. Leave at midnight. Beautiful Cinderella dream for all girls.

There was an old black and white movie that followed this more closely then later ones. Although the pigeons said cook-e-da-coo, cook-i-da-coo, there's blood in the shoe, she's not the one for you.

They left off the end. That's the best part

Absolutely gorgeous.

Interesting in this version stepsisters have more role than stepmother.
-
This version that you're telling is a very different version than the original and yet it's nice that you put pictures and are telling a story that I'm sure a lot of people have heard in various forms.
