For years, fairy tales have taught children that everything in life is a "happily ever after", when in reality this is not always the case. Anne Sexton's poetic version of the Cinderella story is a more twisted version of the classic tale. It focuses on the dark and graphic descriptions of how Cinderella was brought to her happy ending. Alongside this fable, there is a theory of the "Other" that Simone de Beauvoir develops through the story of The Second Sex. The “Other” theory is a degrading way of describing women as objects. It was seen that once, decades ago, women had accepted the role of object. Men are known as the subject. Men need and desire the woman, or the object when they come home every day. From a literary and grammatical point of view, a sentence with only the subject is incomplete. Must be followed by an object. Relating this notion to people is that men are incomplete without woman. Simone de Beauvoir explains this throughout the story by saying that without women there is nothing for men to bounce off of. Beauvoir states: “…through her the transition from hope to frustration, from hate to love, from good to evil, from evil to good is incessantly accomplished” (de Beauvoir 144). This quote coincides with the commonplace according to which without evil there is no good. A man needs that balance in life when he is in a bad situation to have a woman to show him the good, or even vice versa so that he is taught daily lessons. Back when women didn't take a stand is when they were portrayed as “the Other”. Simone de Beauvoir speaks of the idea of ​​woman when she says: “She is made the guardian of morality; servant of man, servant of the established powers, she will tenderly guide her children along the designated path...... at the center of the card ......the man known as the good and the Other (or the woman ) is known as evil. We need to work to ensure that opposites attract. Fairy tales serve to remind us that “happily ever after” is another way of saying that everything will balance out and be okay in the end. These two stories portray the image of the “Other” in a very similar way. In Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex they describe it as evil but necessary. And in Anne Sexton's poem Cinderella, aspects of how “the Other” is an object are shown. All of these aspects of the two stories come together when it comes to serving and satisfying others, as well as making a man feel complete. For the world to stop degrading women as objects, they need to become more assertive. A debatable debate that many people wonder about is whether sports create aggressive behavior or captivate those who are already aggressive..
