There are two main themes in the story Cinderella. First theme is kindness defeats wickedness. The
Th

kindness & patience Cinderella owns overcame the evil soul of her stepmother & stepsisters in the end.
Another theme is envy and jealousy. Cinderella’s stepmother was always envious with her. It is shown in
the third paragraph, that no matter how splendid and elegant her stepsisters’ clothes are, they were still
sh

clumsy, lumpy, and ugly, and always would be. So, that’s why Cinderella was given her stepsisters’
second-hand dresses by her mother to make Cinderella look ugly.
