Beauty and the Beast


Orientation
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Beauty. She lived with her father and her sisters in a small village.
Beauty was a beautiful girl. She was also hard-working. She always helped her father on the farm.

Complication
One day, her father set out for the city. He saw an old castle and went in. No-one was in but there was food on the table. Then he walked around the castle. He picked a rose from garden for Beauty. Suddenly an angry Beast appeared. He wanted to kill Beauty’s father unless Beauty was brought to him.
Beauty’s father told her daughters what had happened. Beauty’s sisters ordered her to see the Beast.
Beauty went to see the Beast and had to stay at the castle. She felt scared, lonely and sad. She tried to run away but was stopped by the Beast. The Beast treated Beauty well. Soon, Beauty began to like the Beast.
One day, through the Beast’s magic mirror, Beauty saw that her father was sick. The Beast allowed her to go home. Her father was happy to see her.

Resolution
One night, Beauty had a dream. A fairly told her that the Beast was sick.
Beauty hurried back and saw the Beast dying. She began to cry. Tears fell onto the Beast. Suddenly, the Beast changed into handsome prince.
Beauty and the Beast got married and lived happily ever after.

Moral Value
Speaking as broadly as possible, theme is what your story is really about. Not what it seems to be about - ‘a pretty girl falls in love with a hideous monster’- but what it’s really about. Theme is the relevance of your story to your readers’ real lives, a truth they can take away and ponder.

The obvious theme/moral of Beauty and the Beast story is not to judge people based upon looks and first impressions. The fallacy is revealed when the truer, inner beauty of the Beast is uncovered through love, patience, and sacrifice.
