Everything you need to understand or teach Cinderella (Poem).
“Cinderella” is a traditional sonnet by American confessional poet Sylvia Plath. It was originally published in Seventeen magazine in 1952 under the title “Twelfth Night,” then later in Plath’s posthumous Collected Poems. It retells a traditional fairy tale story while alluding to themes of social dynamics, mortality, and the passage of time.
