Can someone explain the difference between the dramaturgy of "The New Testament" and "Cinderella"? They look identical.
The structure of stories is a fascinating topic, from Artistotle's Mythos to Propp's Morphology of the Folktale.
- josh2600 4y agoCinderella ends happily ever after and the New Testament doesn’t. I think it’s that simple.
- liveoneggs 4y agoBoth end well for the chosen and poorly for the wicked.
- andsoitis 4y agoYou can be good and still not be chosen.
- bazoom42 4y agoI think the point is they have the same “shape”, at least when you graph them like this.
- once_inc 4y agoCinderella's story arc doesn't look the same to me. She is told from the start that she has until 12 to enjoy herself. When the spell wears off, she doesn't complain or even feel very sad; she just relishes the experience she's gone through. She's also never in any real danger, except for being locked in her room. Her stepmother also causes the glass slipper to break, but she still had the other to prove she was at the ball.
