CINDERELLA & HER SISTERS : THE ENVIED & THE ENVYING

Seated in her nest of ashes, Cinderella embodies human misery. The essence of inner and outer nobility, she is the envy of her cruel stepmother and her ugly sisters. Using this familiar story, the authors explore the psychological and theological aspects of envy and goodness. They move back and forth between internal and external issues-from how feminine and masculine parts of persons fit or do not fit together to how individuals conduct their lives with those of the same and opposite sexes, how they conflict, compete, or join harmoniously.
