Thesis (This is a rough draft of the thesis)

Through Cinderella's evolving and modernizing tale, gender roles regarding women can have a negative impact on the audience through forming gender stereotypes and standards within their society.

What topic are you considering with Cinderella (there's so many things you can explore in this tale)?

I was thinking about exploring the differences of gender roles and stereotypes through different Cinderella tales that evolved from the Grimm fairy tale. I was thinking about looking at the Hilary Duff movie "Cinderella Story", the Disney animated version of Cinderella and Ella Enchanted.

These sources look great!

I'm not exactly sure what this thesis means. Are you arguing that the modernization of Cinderella has not actually modernized the heroine (and thus perpetuated stereotypes)? That's a good argument!

Where is your rough draft?
