In La Cenerentola, Gioachino Rossini inverted the sex roles: Cenerentola is mistreated by her stepfather. (This makes the opera Aarne-Thompson type 510B.) He also made the economic basis for such hostility unusually clear, in that Don Magnifico wishes to make his own daughters' dowries larger, to attract a grander match, which is impossible if he must provide a third dowry. Folklorists often interpret the hostility between the stepmother and stepdaughter as just such a competition for resources, but seldom does the tale make it clear.

Norton & company, London, New York, 2004 ISBN 0-393-05848-4 Herodotus, some five centuries before Strabo, records a popular legend about a possibly related courtesan named Rhodopis in his Histories, [9] :27 claiming that she came from Thrace, was the slave of Iadmon of Samos and a fellow-slave of the story-teller Aesop, was taken to Egypt in the time of Pharaoh Amasis, and freed there for a large sum by Charaxus of Mytilene, brother of Sappho the lyric poet. [9] :27–28 [10] Although the story's title and main character's name change in different languages, in English-language folklore Cinderella is an archetypal name. The word Cinderella has, by analogy, come to mean someone whose attributes are unrecognized, or someone unexpectedly achieves recognition or success after a period of obscurity and neglect. In the world of sports, "a Cinderella" is used for an underrated team or club winning over stronger and more favored competitors. The still-popular story of Cinderella continues to influence popular culture internationally, lending plot elements, allusions, and tropes to a wide variety of media.

The twelfth-century AD lai of Le Fresne ("The Ash-Tree Girl"), retold by Marie de France, is a variant of the "Cinderella" story [9] :41 in which a wealthy noblewoman abandons her infant daughter at the base of an ash tree outside a nunnery with a ring and brocade as tokens of her identity [9] :41 because she is one of twin sisters [9] :41—the mother fears that she will be accused of infidelity [9] :41 (according to popular belief, twins were evidence of two different fathers). [15] The infant is discovered by the porter, who names her Fresne, meaning "Ash Tree", [9] :41 and she is raised by the nuns. [9] :41 After she has attained maturity, a young nobleman sees her and becomes her lover. [9] :41 The nobleman, however, is forced to marry a woman of noble birth. [9] :41 Fresne accepts that she will never marry her beloved [9] :41 but waits in the wedding chamber as a handmaiden. [9] :41 She covers the bed with her own brocade [9] :41 but, unbeknownst to her, her beloved's bride is actually her twin sister, [9] :41 and her mother recognizes the brocade as the same one she had given to the daughter she had abandoned so many years before. [9] :41 Fresne's true parentage is revealed [9] :41 and, as a result of her noble birth, she is allowed to marry her beloved, [9] :41 while her twin sister is married to a different nobleman.

The coach itself also appeared during the credits.Britannica's Tales Around the World (1990-91), features Perrault's Cinderella along with two other variants of the story. Mariana. " RHIZOMATIC CHARACTER OF TRANS-CULTURAL AND TRANS-TEMPORAL MODE OF LITERARY COMMUNICATION". In: World Literature Studies Vol. 6 (23), n. 3 (2014): 111–127. Lua de Cristal ( lit. 'Cristal Moon', 1990), romantic comedy film starring Xuxa Meneghel being a modernized version with original characters, but playing reference to Cinderella's story. Another well-known version was recorded by the German brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the 19th century. The tale is called "Aschenputtel" or "Ashputtle" or "Ashputtel" [“The Little Ash Girl”] or "Cinderella" in English translations). This version is much more violent than that of Charles Perrault and Disney, in that Cinderella's father has not died and the two stepsisters mutilate their feet to fit in the golden slipper. There is no fairy godmother in this version of the Brothers Grimm, but rather help comes from a wishing tree, which the heroine had planted on her deceased mother's grave, when she recites a certain chant. In the second edition of their collection (1819), the Brothers Grimm supplemented the original 1812 version with a coda in which the two stepsisters suffer a terrible punishment by the princess Cinderella for their cruelty.
