2005 Term 2 Week 2 – The Gospel According to Fairy Tales

My favourite fairy tale is Cinderella. I especially loved the movie Ever After. At the beginning the heroine is shown as a servant. She is dressed as servant and does the work of a servant. We are told that she is of noble descent, yet it is hard to believe when you look at her. In fact not even she believes it. She has become so used to her predicament that she believes it is true. And yet when the story has been told everything has been changed. She is no longer Cinderella, she is now the princess. Her true character has been revealed. And no one is in doubt as to who she is. So too with life. We long for the story to reach its conclusion when all is made known. When the good are seen as good and the bad as bad. Everyone’s true colours have been revealed.

We will also look at Bad Boys 2.
