In contrast to the evil represented, Cinderella is portrayed as having all the characteristics of being "good". Not only is she beautiful and kind, but forgiving as well, which is shown during the scene where everyone finds out that she is the beautiful girl and that the prince has been searching for her. Her two stepsisters throw themselves at her feet, begging forgiveness for the way they have treated her: "Cinderella raised them, and declaring as she embraced them that she pardoned them with all her heart, bade them to love her well in the future" Cinderella's forgiving nature allows her to overlook the mean and evil things that her step sisters have put her through in the past. This is an example of how the female protagonist has an overwhelmingly kind persona.
With good also comes evil and in these stories plenty of evil is represented. Evil in Cinderella comes about when Cinderella's step-sister shows true distaste and condescension towards Cinderella during the story. This becomes evident when upon hearing how much fun the ball was Cinderella asks: "Oh please, Javotte, lend me the yellow dress which you wear every day." To which her stepsister responds: 'Indeed! ' That is a fine idea. Lend my dress to a grubby cinder-clod like you'you must think me mad!'
