They told her to cook, clean, do odds and ends around the house, and other busy-work as in "Cinderella." Behaving just as her counterpart, Snow White complied without protest of any sort, becoming the domesticated servant of the dwarfs' abode (Grimm 3). The two critics of "Cinderella" also agree that Cinderella was degraded by being slandered by her sisters, mistreated by her parental figure, and forced to sleep near and in the hearth o .....

She did not have the desire to break out of the repression of morality; instead, she upheld the moral code that caused her miserable life. Only in the end did Tess fight back and kill Alec, but she did not do it for her own liberation but for the love of another man. Hardy implied the idea that women were always subordinate to men. He applauded Tess for learning and upholding Angel's believes and gave Tess no believes of her own Like Flauber and Hardy, Tolstoy was a moralist. .....
