This research has discussed social stratification in Cinderella (2015), a film from
Walt Disney Studios. The researcher is interested in talking about all players in
social class and the effects that are mirrored in the Cinderella movie. This movie
doesn't only stick to the storyline of the fairy tale. Because of this, the author is
interested in researching this film because ordinary people, when watching it, only
focus on the love story. The aim of this research is to determine the social class
and the effects that arise from that social class. To answer the problem
formulation, the author uses the theory by Max Weber (2010) about social
stratification. The researcher uses qualitative research and descriptive methods to
achieve the research objectives. In collecting the data, the researcher has used
documentation techniques. The findings of this research are: first, the researcher
discovered several types of social classes, namely upper class, middle class, and
lower class, and second, the effects that the author found, namely social
relationships, employment, and crime.
