This gives it a more feminist approach. She is still fulfilling the stereotype of caretaker and the typical mother role by self-sacrificing but it's still very empowering for wome
The lesson is trying to get Cinderella to become independence. It' s a story about sacrifice for the sake of pushing someone into independence. You don't really know what happens at the end, if she learned the lesson because she goes into the arms of the Prince. Asks the reader what would you do? Would you stand up and become independent or be taken care of?
"She did alright" is pretty anticlimactic considering the mother gave all her milk, claws and blood to make her happy. Does this counteract ideology? Maybe, depending on which way you see it. Cinderella is still very passive in this story but does she change? Maybe, maybe not.
