Title

The title of the short play, “Glass Slipper” is suggestive of its themes. At first glance, this seems only a reference to the fairy-tale “Cinderella”. Tamera has been chosen to play the part of Cinderella. Because of this, she ought to fit the glass-decorated shoes perfectly. However, they hurt her feet, making her unable to dance well. Therefore, the title seems to support the theory that Tamera was mainly accepted in the academy and given the part because of her skin color. The ending where she is back in her comfortable boots and leaves the academy underlines how the shoes and the academy were not a good ‘fit’ for her.

It should also be noted that the film presents certain fairy-tale elements connected to “Cinderella”. For example, Lexie and Mackenzie’s relationship with Tamera mirrors the relationship between Cinderella and her two stepsisters while Katalina Petrov could be considered to be similar to Cinderella’s stepmother, since she is more willing to side with Lexie and Mackenzie, although Tamera is the one who is being treated unfairly.
