The differences between Cinderella and Catskin

The two categories that the Cinderella fairy tales fall in to are A) the classic Cinderella story and B) the Catskin version. The main difference between the two is in the Cinderella versions, it is the mother’s (or stepmother’s) hatred and jealousy of the daughter that causes distress. In the Catskin versions, it is the lustrous father and his attempt to marry the daughter that causes distress. The main difference I recognized was that when the father was the cause of the distress, the daughter left the home permanently. However, when the mother figure is the one causing the daughter distress, she has a more passive personality and does not resist punishment. This could be because she fears the mother figure more than her father and thinks the mother will chase her while the father just let her go.
