Storyboard Text
- This 10-stanza, story-telling, poem is narrated by a third-person narrative, Anne Sexton. With no rhyme scheme, the poem includes the first four stanzas, using different stories as an introduction. Starting from the fifth stanza to the tenth, a sequential story is told to explain the mistreatment of Cinderella and then her happy ending when she gets to marry the prince.
- "Happily ever after" alludes to a bad situation turned good. A girl had cried in loneliness and despair because of her stepmother's harsh treatment, but then gets a dress from her deceased mother, goes to the ball, and the prince falls in love with her. It relays the message that good things can come to good people.
- The symbol of the turtledove allows readers to interpret the poem's image. Throughout the poem, it was used as Cinderella's savior and potentially her mother. It allowed the prince to see through Cinderella's sisters' deceits, representing the truth in the story. In the end, it gouges Cinderella's sisters' eyes out. Due to this evidence, the turtledove symbolizes truth and justice. Usually, it is a representation of love. This is significant to the poem as it is the key "character" in all the turning points of the plot.
