The method of this research is qualitative research. The data source of this research is the three versions of Cinderella Stories. As a result, the researcher finds out the symbols, which dominantly appear are: the slipper, the gown, the pumpkin, the animals, and the main characters. Each of the symbols reveals the meaning which represented the cultural and sociological context of the story.
