It plays on the whole "damsel in distress" theme. Both Cinderella and Vivian (played by Julia Roberts) in Pretty Woman are rescued from their "hard and poor lives" by a strong, rich and powerful prince. In Pretty Woman, Vivian a prostitute is rescued by a executive lawyer and ultimately transformed into the "proper princess." Without the male hero, the damsel can never be saved from the cruelty of the world. Although Vivian has a much stronger personality than the classical Cinderella, she still needs to be protected by the hero thus all women have to be like both these female characters and the males of society have to be the heroes that change and protect these women.
