The queen of poisonous milk in the entertainment industry

Chapter 225 Student Assessment 6
After reading the script, Wu Sitong's heart was filled with doubts.

In the first act, at the beginning, Cinderella was still a little girl loved by her father. What changed?
What turned her into a real girl living in the ashes?

Why didn't Cinderella, who was bullied by her stepmother, resist?Does she really have no resentment in her heart?
What is the essence of the story of Cinderella?What keeps the story of Cinderella alive?
Did the prince really fall in love with Cinderella, or did he just decide to choose her as his princess because of her looks?
It's true that the script doesn't mention whether Cinderella's father is dead or still alive, but the character hasn't been seen since the first act.

If the father died, then what happened to Cinderella is logical, but if Cinderella's father did not die, what made her ignore her daughter?
Why didn't Cinderella rebel or run away when she was bullied like every rebellious child?

Although Cinderella is a character that everyone knows, if these doubts are not resolved, this role will not stand up.

How can you play the soul of a character if you don't yourself believe that the character you're playing is real?
In order to better understand the ins and outs of the story of Cinderella and the background of the story, and to deepen her understanding of this character, Wu Sitong came to the library of the Liushi Grand Theater.

There is a library in the theater. Many times, actors need to consult a lot of information if they want to play a certain role. In order to facilitate the actors to figure out the role, Liushi Grand Theater has also established a library for the use of troupe members.

The background of Cinderella's occurrence, the first Cinderella story circulated is that the European Greek scholar Strabo once described the story of a Greek girl named Rhodopis who married into Egypt in the first century BC, which is considered to be Cinderella. The earliest version of The Girl's Tale.

In the earliest stories, Rhodopis was washing clothes by the stream, and then an eagle flew by and snatched her shoes, which fell at the feet of the pharaoh in Memphis.

Pharaoh told women all over the country to try on the shoe to see if it would fit, and eventually found Rhodopis, who fell in love with him and married her.

Another version of Cinderella is the novel "Youyang Miscellaneous Zu" written by Duan Chengshi by Ye Xian of China around 860 AD.

In the story, the industrious and lovely Ye Xian raises a goldfish. The goldfish has a very good relationship with Ye Xian, and it only comes to the surface every time Ye Xian walks to the pond.

Later, the goldfish was killed by Ye Xian's stepmother. Ye Xian raised the fish bones according to the guidance of the gods, and was able to wear decent clothes to secretly attend a certain festival banquet. When returning home in a hurry, Ye Xian left a shoe. The king of Tohan found Ye Xian's shoes, fell in love with Ye Xian and married her.

The script that Wu Sitong got was roughly similar to these two stories, except that the magical help Cinderella got was that the fairy conjured up a pumpkin carriage, a groom and a crystal slipper.

After consulting a lot of information, Wu Sitong felt that the doubts in her heart were much less, at least she already knew why Cinderella did not escape from a family full of bullying.

The background of Cinderella shows that the society Cinderella lived in at that time has always been a patriarchal society, men are the controllers of social rights, and women have no other way to realize their own value except to marry.

At the same time, in the European marriage system at that time, women had their own dowry, and the economy was not completely dependent on their husbands, so they had a certain status and voice in the family.

Then the reason why Cinderella is miserable is also found. After she gets married, she will take away her father's assets, which is something her stepmother can't bear.

At that time, the emphasis was on the right family, so her stepmother was also likely to be the daughter of a wealthy family, so her stepmother owned more and more valuable assets.

So even though the father was alive, he could not protect his own daughter at all, but acquiesced in this behavior.This is because her stepmother has a high status and voice in the family, so her father had to accommodate her and satisfy her.
