About This Quote
Gwen and Paul are arguing about the fact that Cinderella should not be going to the ball with Prince Charming because she would no longer be able to fall asleep by his side. Gwen is saying that prince Charming may be handsome and rich, but he is still an ugly stepsister. When we think of Cinderella as someone who should not go to the ball because her ugly stepsister is going, we are thinking of a fairy tale in which a fairy tale bride is given away by her father at the request of an ugly stepsister. This is a twist on the original story where it is an ugly stepsister who marries and sleeps with a handsome prince and lives happily ever after.
As you can see, this twist on the original story is not only anti-family but it is also anti-humanity as well. The idea that we should do what we want regardless of if we hurt others or not, regardless of how it will impact our families or friends, regardless of how it will impact our own personal growth and happiness, regardless of how it will impact our community and society as a whole, regardless of how it will impact our children or our future generations.
