Cinderella Cinderella has been transformed and interpreted in many different ways. There are many different versions such as the Disney version. While reading about the author you will see there are many connections that connect his personal life to his stories.
The theme throughout Cinderella is that through the story she still is able to achieve success through everything negative happening. She does not let how they treat her affect the way she treats them. Cinderella was just like his late wife, “unparalleled goodness and sweetness of temper”.
The setting throughout Cinderella in placed somewhere in France. They lived in a very large house or palace with many bed rooms and were very wealthy. It took place when France still had kings …show more content…
Perrault was born in Paris, France on January 12th in 1628 with his twin brother but he only survived a couple months. He was born into a wealthy family, he was the seventh child of Pierre Perrault and Paquette Le Clerc. After attending very good schools he dropped out at age 15 to study on his own. He then began studying law and following in his fathers and older brother footsteps by going into government services. He once worked and helped with the creation of the Academy of Science. At age twenty six Perrault moved in with his older brother Pierre. In 1663 Perrault was appointed to a secretary position under Jean Baptiste Colbert who was the finance master to King Louis …show more content…
They already had three sons together. At age fifty six King Louis XIV forced Perrault into retirement in 1684. In 1686 Perrault had decided to concentrate on his children and his “epic poetry”. Perrault believed to put greater emphases should be placed on human nature and social conduct both good and bad. His most popular stories are Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Puss in Boots, and Blue Beards. When he began publishing his work he published it under his last born son Pierre. His Literary style was a new genre at the time called Fairy Tales. Perrault passed away May 16th 1703 at age seventy five. I believe that Perrault used his personal life in writing Cinderella, at a part they say “Mademoiselle de la Poche” which is French. Perrault was born and raised in Paris, France so it would make sense he had the setting of his stories from there as well. He also wrote about kings and princes, which goes with his personal life of working so closely with King Louis
