Cinderella: Rags to Riches
"Rags to Riches" is a common term we often hear for people who move up in the world or becoming nothing into something. This is a fantasy that almost everyone has who wasn't born into it already and it may be hard for some to accomplish. I think that "rags to riches" through marriage or success is obtainable because if you stay true to yourself, work hard, and stay genuine everything will work out in the end.
In "Cinderella", despite her ugly step sisters and her stepmother mistreating her and destroying her clothes, she remained unmoved and she didn't change her character. She always showed herself and was always amicable and gentle towards everyone around her. Most people would've stooped to their level to get revenge, but that would just make things worse. She found her true love, which she deserved, and ending up winning in the end anyway. Cinderella was a good example of the saying "Good things come to those who wait." Her prince came and she moved from "rags to riches".
In "Pretty Woman", Vivian was a prostitute in Hollywood looking for way out of her stressful life. Her roommate used their rent money for drugs and she happened to run into Edward, a very wealthy businessman. He asked her back to his hotel only for week, but that was enough time to get everything to fall into place. They fell in love, even though it was 'just business'. Both Vivian and Edward realized that they couldn't live without each other. It was almost like fate had brought them together because they both were looking for the thing missing from their lives. They both ended up with each other in the end and Vivian went from struggling to make ends meet to having her true love and moving up in the world. In conclusion, the "rags to riches" motif can be realistic if you're a good person. If you work hard and are a genuine person, things will always fall into place in the end. It may not happen right away, but "good things come to those who wait" will always be an accurate statement.
