초록
The Cinderella legend has come a long way through the human civilization history. However, the psychological background of the fairy tale has not been covered much in a systematical way. This paper aims to study the two syndromes of Cinderella complex and Cinderella effect by using Hollywood films and consolidate them with the two concepts of sexual and kin selection. For this purpose, an animation Cinderella and a live-action Cinderella are observed and then compared with Ever After. During the process, some remarkable psychologists are mentioned. For example, Colette Dowling first described the Cinderella complex as a woman’s desire to be rescued by others, particularly a man. Also, Martin Daly and Margo Wilson developed Cinderella effect as a phenomenon of a stepparent’s persecution of stepchildren. Next, the theories of sexual and kin selection are applied to the two syndromes in the light of Darwin’s The Descent of Man. Through this analysis, it is revealed that the two evolutionary concepts seem to be the main causal factors of the two cultural phenomena and integrated within the principle of self-preservation. It is expected that this study produces more abundant interpretations of those literary texts.
Abstract
The Cinderella legend has come a long way through the human civilization history. However, the psychological background of the fairy tale has not been covered much in a systematical way. This paper aims to study the two syndromes of Cinderella complex and Cinderella effect by using Hollywood films and consolidate them with the two concepts of sexual and kin selection. For this purpose, an animation Cinderella and a live-action Cinderella are observed and then compared with Ever After. During the process, some remarkable psychologists are mentioned. For example, Colette Dowling first described the Cinderella complex as a woman’s desire to be rescued by others, particularly a man. Also, Martin Daly and Margo Wilson developed Cinderella effect as a phenomenon of a stepparent’s persecution of stepchildren. Next, the theories of sexual and kin selection are applied to the two syndromes in the light of Darwin’s The Descent of Man. Through this analysis, it is revealed that the two evolutionary concepts seem to be the main causal factors of the two cultural phenomena and integrated within the principle of self-preservation. It is expected that this study produces more abundant interpretations of those literary texts.
