The speaker directly addresses
the audience members to
engage their attention and
involve them in the speech.Another gory aspect of the Brothers Grimm version is that at
Cinderella’s wedding at the end of the story, as punishment for being
wicked, the stepsisters actually get their eyes poked out by the birds and
they are blinded. So with these changes, you can imagine that if Disney
would have kept the fairy tale similar to the Brothers Grimm version, it likely
would have changed the audience. You know, rather than having it geared
toward children, it might be geared toward adults, and it definitely would
have not become such a popular and important part of our childhood.

audience remember the content
of this speech.In conclusion, now you should better understand the differences
between the Disney and Brothers Grimm versions of Cinderella and why
Disney changed its version of Cinderella. Specifically, these differences
were that Disney added in and changed some of the characters; Disney
also made changes to the royal ball scene and got rid of some of the
violence from the Brothers Grimm version. So next time that you’re

to imagine that if there was blood dripping from the eyes and feet of the
stepsisters how this would change your reaction to this classic fairy tale.
seem to realize that neither one of the stepsisters is Cinderella and,
according to the Greenwood Encyclopedia of Folktales and Fairytales,
the prince doesn’t realize that neither of the stepsisters is Cinderella until
the birds that serve the fairy godmother role tell him, “Hey, there’s blood
everywhere, neither one of these women is Cinderella!”
