CINDERELLA
February 21, 2014
Conte On the surface Conte is about Cinderella showing readers a glimpse of her life after her childhood tale ends. Beneath the surface the poem addresses the central question; “the poem turns out to be a letter, to who do you think it was written?” The poem Conte is written for readers who are basically in the same situation and the ways to overcome it. This question can also be answered in setting, tone, and characters. The setting of Conte is in 1881 at a palace possibly. Cinderella feels trapped in her distress; she feels as though she has no life and seems like other are living it. Cinderella is not perfect; she explains how she has made mistakes in her life and how they have taught her life lessons. She often remorse the actions she makes and thinks some things are right when they aren’t. I want readers to accept the fact that Cinderella is a loving, and kind hearted princess. She is all about pleasing others more than she does pleasing herself. Cinderella feels as though she has no life, more like misery loves company simply because her prince acts like she doesn’t exist. Cinderella has been mistreated and talked down to. People use her as a stepping stone to get what they want out of her. Cinderella constantly has to hear the prince complain about wanting the single life back and causing problems between the two. Prince always threatens to give up on his relationship and live on the coast. “I’d heard, midnight to dawn about solitary life he craved”. Prince is in misery he deeply wants to be apart from his princess. Cinderella wants her life back! The characters in Conte seem to be Cinderella herself, women who have problems and come to her to solve, and prince himself. Cinderella quotes “First of all, I’m bored. Every day, meetings I cannot attend”. Meaning she misses the life she used to live of being free and full of spirit. Her prince is never around and she is yearning for affection. “Ladies ignore me, or tell me all their
