A feminist point of view  |
|
 It is a known fact that movies and books influence us in our way of thinking. Beauty and the Beast is a very beautiful and touching story, and my favourite fairy tale. But don't you think that somehow it puts women in a disadvantaged position by understating that, while it is ok for a man to be "a beast", it is a woman's duty and role in life to be beautiful?

1.  RowenaTheWitch (559) | 7 months ago |  I don't think it's the case. Belle in the cartoon is a very indipendent woman and she never have married someone who is a "beast inside". She was attracted by the beast only when he became gentler and sweet. I can see her as a role model for young girls. If a man is the most handsome in the world but treats them as objects (like Gaston) then it's not the good one, instead even someone horrible but with a good hearth can be the good one

2.  mensab (2809) | 7 months ago |  beaty and the beast is indeed a good and touching story. i think the story is more than the story of appearance. i believe it is about love, pure love. the courtship showcases the taming of the energy or inside of the "beast" in us. it is an admission of that the darkside, more than the "ugliness" appearance.

| DCMerkle (148) | 5 months ago |  Beauty and the Beast is about tradition. Traditions in life, love, friendships, trust, and decisions. Many of those values are going by the wayside. Movies like Beauty and the Beast keep those values in the forefront. Too many of toady's values and morals are going by the wayside.

3.  globaldoc2001 (1295) | 3 weeks ago |  I don't think it puts women in a bad light.I mean,if we turn the story around where the beast happens to be the girl,then the story wont be the same.instead of falling in love with the beast,the guy would just hunt the beast down and display it as a trophy for his prized hunt.

| 4. Debs_place (5530) | 2 weeks ago |  I thought it was just the opposite...he could not be a beast and get someone to love, but no matter what he looked like by being kind and thoughtful someone could love him.
As for being beautiful ...well she was thought odd but gaston still 'loved' her in his pea brain sort of way.
