In the movie Cinderella, Cinderella goes through a lot of pain because she is an orphaned girl who is treated very poorly by her stepmother and stepsisters. She is constantly made to do all the hard work around the house while her stepsisters get to go to parties and balls. This can be seen as symbolic of the struggles that many people face in life, where they have to work hard and make sacrifices while others seem to get all the benefits. Additionally, Cinderella's pain can be seen as a metaphor for the emotional pain of feeling rejected and alone, and the hope of finding true love and acceptance in the world.
