The Grimm Brothers' version of Cinderella presents the theme that good people will prevail over bad people through three key examples: 1) A bird punishes Cinderella's stepsisters by pecking out their eyes for mistreating Cinderella. 2) The stepsisters mock Cinderella by not allowing her a dress for the ball. 3) Cinderella is made to be the stepsisters' maid. In the end, the stepsisters are left miserable with no eyes or mutilated feet as consequences, while Cinderella finds happiness.
