A rise tale features the typical "rags to riches" theme plot through marriage- or in the case of fairy tales- magic. Cinderella is one of these tales in which the lowly peasant girl becomes a princess after finding her true love by enduring years of abuse from her family.
Ironically, this the life that many little girls and women wish for, excluding the abuse and being a lowly peasant girl. To achieve this, most either have to fall in love with a rich man or marry them for the benefits of their station, *cough cough* gold diggers.
Reality...
I believe that sometimes success or riches can be reached by marriage but that leads to the question of whether or not the relationship is genuine (i.e. love). The premise of marriage is for love, and many are willing to marry the person they fall in love with rather than how much are is in their bank account. On the other hand, magic is not a factor in this. Logically speaking, love is a chemical reaction in our brains- many are able to achieve this chemical reaction by eating chocolate but on a much lower scale. I do believe that this is possible, Kate Middleton being the prime example. But for average people, "rags to riches" isn't as possible or realistic.
