I think that Tatar makes an interesting argument in claiming that these two types of stories should be read together. Although she makes this claim, she also makes sure to tell the reader that within these two types of stories, there are many other elements that can be differentiated or can be claimed as similar. There are different types of each story that are worth looking at together. In doing so, it is evident that the story types are similar and related. It is also worth comparing them because there are specific gender and father type roles in each story that differ but also share the same attitudes toward cinderella. Both father types are either not present in which case they cannot protect their daughter from her hardships or the father is chasing her in pursuit of a relationship.

The story that I read to compare to this was Fair, Brown, and Trembling. This story starts out similar to the classic Disney cinderella that we know today except that she is the daughter of a king. There are three sisters and one is the most beautiful so she is made to stay home from everything. There are a few differences in this but the major differences come later in the story. She first is attending church instead of a ball, which I definitely think signifies something about the importance religion in Irish culture. Each variation of fairy tales that we read show differences within cultures and what is important among them. This particular example was very evident. To relate this to Tatar's argument, this Cinderella story should be related to others like it as well as Donkeyskin tales. One element that is evident and relatable to both donkeyskins and this Cinderella story is the element of the daughter being born of a king. I think this is a notable difference and proves once again that there can be incongruencies as well as similarities among both the types of tales.
