The real story of Cinderella and random stuff...
Hello guys~
(Hey you guys! Guys Playzone!) ← No, this line isn't in the topic, but lately every time I say/write/read/listen to the word "guys" the song comes to my mind~
Anyway...
Days ago, I promised to my papa/imouto(?) Erunyan, that I would explained her the real story of Cinderella... And I also still have to explain her what the hell I studied in high school, since she was surprised when I said her I studied Architecture XD
Another thing.... Please, hikaeru , stay safe! After what happened today in the crazy country where you live, I'm so worried about what can happen to you, that I really can't...
Sorry for being so annoying.
So... The subjects I studied in high school were:
Math [5 years] (algebra, arithmetic, geometry, trigonometry, analytic, science statistics, probability); physics [2 years] (Classical mechanics, Quantum mechanics, matter, electromagnetism, Astrophysics); chemistry [2 years] (Organic chemistry, Inorganic chemistry, cultural heritage chemistry) ; Earth science [1 year] ; biology [1 year] ; Italian grammar [2 years], Literature [5 years](mostly italian and european), poetry, epic poetry, narrative ; UK Literature -in english -(poetry and narrative) [3 years] ; History of art [5 years] ; History of UK art -in english- [3 years] ; english grammar [2 years] ; Philosophy [3 years]; World History (focused on italian and european history) [2 years] ; Right and economy [2 years] ; Painting techniques [5 years] ; plastic arts and sculpture [2 years] ; architecture and urban planning [5 years] ; Project&Design [3years](Graphic Design -without pc softwares- , color theory and psychology, layout, Shape psychology, advertising) ; Physical education (both theoretical and practical) [5 years]
← I think it's all...
And now, I can finally talk about the real story of Cinderella.
(This is something that anyone who attended italians high school studied -or should have studied- so I'll write only in english.)
As the most of you know, Cinderella was written by the french writer Charles Perrault and later revisited by the Brothers Grimm. But the original story was written by the italian writer Giambattista Basile, who seems took inspiration from Egyptian tradition and chinese folklore (but this thing isn't still proved so, don't take it for sure, please)
Basile's story is different from the one we know...
And it's something like this:
once upon a time, lived a widower prince, who deeply loved his daughter, named Zezolla. He gave her the best teacher he could, for make her learn a lot of good things, and Zezolla was really happy but.. The new wife of his father didn't like her.
The girl was always scared by the stepmother, and she was always complaining with her teacher, saying she wanted the teacher was her mother...Until when...The teacher said her to her: "Just say to your stepmother you need an old dress, from the ones inside the chest, and when she'll lower, break her neck with the lid of the chest."
Zezolla did it, and then persuaded her father to marry her teacher.
After the marriage, Zezolla met a dove, which said her if she was in need she could call for her, "the dove of the Fairies from Sardinia island".
For a week the teacher was a good mother for the girl, and then, she introduced to the prince her 6 daughter she kept secret until then. The father was so into the stepdaughters that forgot about Zezolla, who ended up becoming a waitress, dressed in rags, who slept in front of the kitchen's fireplace, that's why they changed her name on "Cinderella" (Cinderella).
One day the father had to go to Sardinia island for job, and asked to all his daughters what they wanted as gift from the island.
The stepdaughters replied stuff like jewels, clothes... But Cinderella said to the father he only had to ask to the Sardinia's Dove to bring her something, and that he hadn't to forget about it, no matter what, or he would been blocked on the sea.
The prince remembered the stuff for the stepdaughters but not the thing to do for Cinderella, and his ship couldn't depart from the harbor, but the master of the ship, dreamed about a fairy, and the fairy said him that the prince forgot about his daughter request. So, the day after, the prince went to the
fairie's cavern, and received from the fairies a seed, a hoe, a golden bucket and a silk tablecloth for Cinderella, who had to farm the seed.
In a week the seed became a big plant, and a fairy came out from the plant asking for Cinderella desire. The girl said she would like going out to the home without her sisters knew about it. The fairy taught her a magic formula and she was magically dressed in a beautiful way, and sitting in a carriage.
When she was out home, the king noticed her, and fell for her beauty, so he asked to his servant to follow her and discover who she was, but Cinderella was able to escape, and came back home.
It happened again, and again, until when, during her runaway, Cinderella lost a shoe...
Then the servant bring the shoe to the King, who searched the owner of the shoe between all the women of the reign, and when he found Cinderella, he made of her his Queen. *Singing "King&Queen&Joker" by Sexy Zone*
THE END
Well, it's similar to the modern version, isn't it?
But here there isn't the midnight stuff, and above all...
Cinderella is actually a murderer, not a innocent poor girl.
Here, in the first part of the tale she's a spoiled kid who kills her stepmother for get what she want,
and, even though she did something bad, she had the fortune to met the magic dove who quickly settled all her problems...
In the modern version, she's a pure girl who had only 1 stepmother (not 2) who was really bad, however she stay honest and worked hard, until the fairy went to rescue her, and thanks to this immaculate image they were able to come up with a moral, which isn't in the original story.
That's why the story is called "La Gatta Cenerentola" (the Cat Cinderella), because the girl, was sly and cunning like a cat ^^
Ok... That's all... Thank you for reading until the end...
I hope I didn't forget anything...Well I studied this stuff 10-11 years ago, so I can't be enough accurate, but I hope I explained a bit the thing...
Well, now I'm really tired, so...
Goodnight everyone!
