Plot hole?
I've always wondered why the glass slipper stayed in glass and didn't transform back to whatever she had on her feet before. --Stereo 12:38, 2005 Mar 31 (UTC)
Forgot to mention in my edit summary that I added "see also artistamp" under the philatelic usage of the word "cinderella."
It is inaccurate to say that Cinderella's name was "Cinderella." This is the abusive nickname given to her by her stepsisters as she was dirty and forced to sleep in cinders. Her true name is never given in the story. --Daniel C. Boyer 19:37, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how common it is in fairy tales, that the central/title character is the only one with a name (compare Rumpelstiltskin, Mossycoat), and how often it's an acquired name rather than a real one. -- Smjg 17:44, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)
I've also heard the verre/vair confusion myth before, and also the theory that it could've been vert (green).
But I've also come across a version where the stepmonster knocks the glass slipper and smashes it to pieces, after the stepsisters have tried it. Cinderella then gets the matching slipper out to prove her identity.
It must have taken some care to dance and to run in a hurry in slippers that really were made of glass….
By the way, what descriptions are there (as opposed to pictures in specific editions) of what Cinderella's dress actually looked like? And did she necessarily have gloves reaching 3/4 of the way up the arm?
