The Figure

The main personage represents the way to be covered by the woman? poor young woman who if becomes princess - in the paper that the patriarcal society reserved to it: the accomplishment by means of the marriage. Also the marriage is an escape valve so that the life so suffered from the protagonist moves. Stepmother: negative traces of the figure materna the story starts of the following form: ' ' A noble was a time who if married in second marriage with the woman most magnificent and prouder than already he saw himself. It had two children of equal temperament to its, without taking off nor to put. The husband, for its side, had a son that it was the doura in person and of a goodness without pair. In this he leaves the mother, who had been the best creature of mundo.' ' (Tatar, 2004-p.39) We see the arqutipos soon feminine to be formed and the paper of the father of made Cinderela already: it only is in the history of Perrault to be married and to give a stepmother for similar Cinderela again of that one contains all the negative traces of the figure materna. One also perceives that in the start of the story he has a definition of the characteristics as if they were hereditary: of a pure side goodness (the mother and Cinderela), it another pure badness (the stepmother and the stocking-sisters).

This clear differentiation of the one continuity idea, as it affirms Gonalves (1998): ' ' Who sows the bad one harvests tempestade' '. If the stepmother is me, its children also is. will possibly be stepmothers also. E, in this point, I open parentheses to go beyond the interpretation of the negative feelings of Cinderela I stop with its stocking-sisters: he seems me that the story also says in them of certain ' ' social law of continuidade' ' , where the stigmata of the goodness and the badness seem to pass of father for son as hereditary genes.
