There are three strong female characters in A Winter's Tale: Perdita, Hermione and Paulina. The young female lead in the romantic comedy subplot is Perdita who ends up marrying her guy, Florizel. The main plot is about the fractured marriage of Leontes and Hermione and their eventual reunification. Hermione is the main female character in this plotline and has some heroic moments as she is tried for an offence of which she is innocent. Paulina is the most heroic female character in the play: she sticks to Leontes like a bur, reminding him constantly of his crimes through his long separation from Hermione.
Cinderella features several archetypal elements, including the "heroine" who embodies kindness and resilience despite adversity. The "wicked stepmother" and "stepsisters" serve as antagonists, representing jealousy and cruelty. The "fairy godmother" acts as a mentor, providing magical assistance and guidance. Additionally, the "lost shoe" symbolizes transformation and identity, leading to Cinderella's ultimate recognition and redemption.
The characteristics of a "Cinderella"-type story include: 1. A beautiful heroine abused by her family 2. A wicked stepmother (or incestuous father) 3. A magical helper (fish, cow, fairy, etc) 4. A clue to the protagonist's identity (often shoe) 5. A rags-to-riches (or riches-to-rags-to-riches) story arc
In a great many of the older versions, for example those collected in Marian Cox's book of 345 Cinderella variants, the heroine had only one stepsister; and this girl was sometimes pretty (at least at the beginning of the story). It is hard to see any clear moral superiority of Cinderella over her stepsister in many of these stories, either. Cinderella had two stepsisters, both superiored by her stepmother jamir wrote this mir_mir_09

One key difference is that Cinderella is a traditional fairy tale that tells the story of a mistreated girl who is helped by a fairy godmother, while "Ella Enchanted" is a modern fantasy novel that puts a unique twist on the classic Cinderella story by giving Ella the curse of obedience. Additionally, Ella in "Ella Enchanted" is portrayed as a strong and independent heroine who actively tries to break the curse, unlike the passive and obedient Cinderella character.
