The story of Beauty and the Beast is been around for centuries in written and oral form, and recently in film and video. I suppose I could say that theme is “love is blind”. But that phrase has also described people who are in love with despicable people and that love blinds them to the truth. Love, how basic privileges, noticing the small things in life, appreciate what you do have tomorrow it could be gone.
"Beauty and the Beast" is basically like don’t judge the book by its cover. The beast originally is ugly, but underneath, he really is a nice, caring, type of guy. Things aren’t always the way they seem; in other words, one should not be deceived by appearances for beauty lies within. One must rather try to look past the eye can see and look inside that person where his/her true personality is found. Other themes are the significance and power of love and how it changes human, family sacrifice, modesty, people change, and more and most important one should learn to be calm and control his temper. In every single detail there’s a theme and lesson to be learned. Love can conquer any boundaries, and its everlasting.
The love chemistry of a bookish young woman who falls in love with the Beast and finds the kind-hearted human inside him and the cold-hearted prince transformed into a Beast as a punishment for his selfishness, but later warms, with the help of Belle, and ends up being transformed back into a handsome prince as a reward. This story gives us an implication that despite what befalls you in life you should never treat innocent person as though they are responsible for your state of misery and you should never become so bitter with life that you no longer wish to be a part of it because the one responsible for the state you’re in is staring back at you in the mirror yourself. Also you should not become so frustrated with life that you fail to recognize when someone has entered your life to help you change it! “Beauty and the Beast” is one of the most beloved of all the fairy tales just because it contrasts goodness with badness in a way that is appealing to the imagination. It is also a story that depicts with the special force the mystery of virtue itself. Virtue is the “magic” of the moral life for it often appears in the most unexpected persons and places and with surprising results. Beauty is able to “see” the virtues in Beast that lie hidden beneath his monstrous appearance. Like all the great fairy tales, “Beauty and the Beast” invites us to draw analogies between its imaginary world and the world which we live. It supplies the imagination with information that the self also uses to distinguish what is true from what is not.
"Beauty and the Beast” embraces one last important moral truth: a person’s decisions in life will define what kind of she becomes. In the sense, our destinies are not fated: we are the ones providing our own decisions and destinies in life.
