Cinderella by Anne Sexton
"Cinderella" by Anne Sexton, first I thought of the Disney version of this story with happily ever after ending. But Anne Sexton version gave it a whole new twist towards the story. She made it more Grimm, violence, and mocking the "rags to riches" and "happily ever after" stories that never came true. I enjoyed reading this poem, it provided a modern aspect of "Cinderella". The way the characters act in this poem are more violence and bloody. By the stepsisters slicing off their heel and toe to fill into the gold slipper and the white dove pecking out the eyes of the stepsisters. I recommend it to anyone that just wants to see something different from the Disney Cinderella story.
