In childhood, each of us had our own favorite fairy tale. One of my favorites is Cinderella. I always wanted to figure out whether the girl managed to realize all her dreams in this marriage? And how could the paragraph end: “and they began to live well and make good things.” We all know that fairy tales have come to us from time immemorial and carry hidden meaning, age-old wisdom or some necessary idea that ancestors passed on to their descendants. The fairy tale “Cinderella” personifies the subconscious dream of many girls, with the help of marriage, to change something radically in their life (especially if you are good... but that’s not about that now). Cinderella, as we know, with the help of marriage changed her image, in some places she regained what she had lost, and in others she increased her social status, improved her financial situation, gained respect among the nobility, and even received, in addition, veneration and superiority over her own people. subjects. If you think about it, from the point of view of psychology, was it so simple and really, both consciously and subconsciously, did not strive for all these things? If she didn’t strive, then why didn’t the heroine fall in love with a simple groom or assistant cook, who, at least according to the film, were always there in times of trouble and joy? A modern girl often does not have even a fraction of the things that the heroine of a fairy tale had. After all, Cinderella was from a wealthy and respected family, but with the advent of her stepmother, her status in the family decreased, her privileges disappeared, etc. And a modern girl who came from the periphery to the capital, having worked “at different jobs”, trying to pay for a rented apartment and food with this money, quite often begins to think about marriage with a wealthy metropolitan man who, with the wave of a magic wand, will solve all her problems. If Let us consider this problem not from the point of view of population migration and improvement of material wealth))), but from the point of view of the existence of social elevators. Anyone who has tried to climb to a higher floor in their own city knows that you can be born in the capital 300 times, but you are not allowed to go “there” to the higher floor not for diplomas or beautiful eyes. I know many women who were valued in their organizations as specialists, and it seemed that a certain cool group accepted them into their company, but when one of its members celebrated a birthday, for some reason the girl sat alone in the “uninvited group” . And in difficult moments, they still tried to relieve her of a heavier piece of work with a smile (even if it was paid). As if emphasizing: “You are a “highly qualified slave” here, and not our girlfriend! We may respect you for this, but we don’t love you. You are not ours!” Although if we continue the theme of beautiful eyes, then it is thanks to them that it can help you “jump up” is your man. In such cases, it is not at all necessary to have the status of his wife (in the mirror situation of a spouse). He walks into a company (group) that interests you and simply says: “This is my girlfriend! (communicate with her)” And the issue is resolved. Remember, at least for example, the film “Titanic”, the main character raises her savior to the floor above (literally and figuratively). “It's Jack - he saved me! (communicate with him)” The men on the ship join this idea without pleasure. Jack temporarily takes Rose down to the floor below to dance. It is unlikely that she would have danced so carefree on the lower deck if she had gone down there alone. The situation - friends or strangers, would have affected there too. Of course, no one denies that you can get into “more interesting company” with the help of your beloved friend... But... Why is the fairy tale “Cinderella” so popular today, why are there so many films that retell and they retell this story each in their own way, again and again. There can be only one answer: “Demand creates supply.” Modern girls, just like in ancient times, have a need for this dream. What are most 555-episode series about? A poor, hardworking girl either “through I can’t” achieves a high social status herself, or is saved from.
