Podcast: Play in new window | Download (22.8MB)
One of the most popular fairy tales, Cinderella, especially as told by Grimm, contains two major themes. So, we’ve split our analysis into 2 parts. This first episode speaks of the healing power of grief, while next month we will discuss the role of envy.
The story reading takes place from 8:06 to 22:48
We’ll be reading from Household Tales by Brothers Grimm
Adina also recommends:
Cinderella and her Sisters: The Envied and Envying by Ann Belford Ulanov, Barry Ulanov
The Complete Grimm’s Fairy Tales (Pantheon Fairy Tale And Folklore Library). If attempting to purchase this, be sure it says, “with Padraic Colum (intro) and Joseph Campbell (commentary) and James Scharl (illustr)”. Amazon considers all versions to be the same book, so you could accidentally buy a copy without those key elements.
Our intro/outro music is from Antoni Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, performed by John Harrison with the Wichita State University Chamber Players. You can find the original at freemusicarchive.org

Seems to be a tale about the male search for and marriage with the anima. From the female POV it seems to be about woman finding herself through the animus. Basically, this is a tale of the relationship between the anima and animus.
Wow, are you so misogenistic that you even have to reframe a tale that is about a female’s search for her contasexual aspect as a tale about men! Wow just wow!
