The inciting incident of Cinderella is when the invitation is sent out to all the eligible women in the land, but her stepmother refuses to let her go. Keep in mind that an inciting incident must incite the character, causing an emotional response that will result in the character taking action. The actual action a character take is almost always some time after when the inciting incident occurs. This gives the character and the reader time to consider what action should be taken as a result of this emotional affront. In the case of Cinderella, enough time passes for the stepsisters to head off to the ball. Cinderella then chooses to take action. Depending on which version we are referring to, this action varies. In some versions, she makes a wish. In some versions, this is where the fairy godmother comes into the picture. But in all cases, Cinderella makes the decision to go to the ball against the wishes of her step-family as a result of the emotions she feels when the inciting incidentoccurs.

Basically, a father and daughter was living together very happily. Then the father marries a widow who has two daughters. The father dies, leaving Cinderella at the mercy of a stepmother and two (ugly) step-sisters. But, as with most fairy stories, in the end Cinderella lived happily ever after!
