Archetype Blog


In the movie cinderella, Cinderella lives with her step mom and two step sisters. She is viewed by her step mother on a lower level then her step sisters. Because of this she is viewed as the maid of the house and has clean up after everyone else. Cinderella is fortunate enough to have a fairy god mother who helps her in times of need. With the help of Cinderella's fairy god mother, cinderella gets dressed up and goes to the royal ball. Cinderellas fairy god mother told her that she needed to leave the ball when the clock stricks 12. At the ball cinderella meets the prince and the prince falls madly in love with her. When running out of the ball she looses her glass slipper but little did she know that the prince was following her and when her slipper fell of he grabbed it. The next day the prince searches town for Cinderella putting the glass slipper on every girls foot. When it he got to Cinderellas house her two step sisters tried to convince him that the slipper was theres but the slipper did not fit. When Cinderella put the slipper on it was a perfect fit and they lived happply ever after.


The archetype present in this movie would be the maiden. Cinderella is full of dreams and is looking for her prince charming.Cinderella is the maiden and is looking for someone to save her.The prince at the ball could be looked at as her hero. He saves her from her evil step mother and step sisters.


What I find unique and love about this movie is it is a fairytail. There is the princess and the prince who always finds a way to sweep the princess off her feet.What i love about Cinderella so much is the fact that she never stops dreaming. Even though she lives a rough life she finds a way to be happy.

This is really your favorite of all time? Look deeper for more archetypes than one. What you have is correct, though! Watch spelling.
