Stepsister's Lament
Main summary
Key takeaways
“Stepsister’s Lament”
A jealous stepsister wonders why any man would prefer the delicate, graceful girl over someone “solid” like her. She grudgingly admits that the other girl is pretty, then undercuts the compliment by insisting she could easily break her arm—or pull out all her hair.
The comic contrast between the stepsister’s envy and her increasingly over-the-top threats builds to an exasperated refrain: “What’s the matter with the man?”
Personality featured: Cinderella’s stepsister (the lyrics don’t make clear which one).
