It is argued that the tale deals with the first of three lifecrises found in such narratives, to wit, conflict between the generations, specifically between mother and daughter. It is proposed that the Cinderella tale, more fully comprehensible when preceded by The SpinningWomen by the Spring, offers a solution to the problem faced by the marriageable daughter: how best to win the love of a man. Although the answers to this question may seem dated at the present time, in the social and narrative context in which the tale was told in the 20th century, it offers what was deemed to be sound advice by the often largely female audiences.
