Or, more generally, why there's a disconnect between what was written and the actual events. Harbinger's theory doesn't seem to explain that {At least that I read, I didn't start this thread from the start, I admit}, what are your thoughts on it? Suppose the "creators" only created the characters and set the stage, and the actual events focused in their story is where they lose control. It kind of explains why the gist of the story is correct, but not everything. Kind of. Lol, but every theory has holes.

I would think several characters would be upset. Cinderella, for example. Her mother died before the story, (father two, or was controlled by the new wife, depending on the story) and she was a slave in her own house. That's horrible, and might be something Ella would want an explanation for! XD

Or maybe just some guilt on the authors' part? They didn't know these things would come to be, that they were actually creating people who would suffer.

It's fun to think about. I don't think I subscribe to the theory that the "original authors" actually created our characters or their stories (leaning toward more of a prophecy/the curse injected the fables into "our" world's history, but that's another discussion) but it is interesting.
