Cinderella āplot holesā I am tired of hearing about
āWhy didnāt her step family recognize her?ā Because royal balls were basically the candle lit equivalent of clubbing in terms of both lighting and sheer numbers. Even if they were right next to her, they probably wouldnāt get a good look, especially since it would have started after sundown. Also, she was the help; they probably hadnāt looked at her in years.
āLooking for someone based on their shoe size is stupid!ā See above.
āWas he going to have every size seven in the kingdom try the slipper on?ā Prior to industrialization most garments were made by hand to fit the buyerās measurements, including shoes. Itās why poor people only had one pair. Itās a lot smarter when you consider that they wouldāve fit her like a glove.
āYou canāt run down stairs in heels!ā I know this is a misconception resulting from historical revisionism and disneyfication, but high heels were not originally womenās shoes. They were worn by men. Women wore slippers, which were basically ballet flats. So itās debatable.
āGlass shoes donāt make any sense!ā Okay first of all, itās called the suspension of disbelief, and secondly, theyāre gold in every other version but Perrault decided to change them to something else expensive.
āShe just went to the ball to find a man!ā I know this isnāt a plot hole but listen. As the daughter of a widower Cinderella wouldāve been running the household finances and acting as hostess if he hadnāt remarried. By demoting Cinderella to a servant, her step-mother essentially guaranteed that she would never escape the house, because the only way for her to escape and maintain her status was to marry well, and no one was going to marry a servant. It was essentially the historical equivalent of your mom stealing your college acceptance letters out of the mailbox.
