Differences In Belle And The Beast

In the movie Beauty and the Beast, Beast, the protagonist, yells at Belle, the lead actress in the movie, because she walks into a restricted area.

Seger states that in fairy tales "an old woman, a dwarf, a witch, or a wizard helps the hero . . . The hero achieves the goal because of this help, and because the hero is receptive to what this person has to give" (173). Conversely, Beast is helped by the very damsel he imprisons.

In the Disney version of the story, Belle tries to teach Beast how to control his temper and be more compassionate and loving. Beast is not receptive at all to this help throughout the story, but still manages to defeat the curse left on him by a self revelation.

Moving onto Belle's costar, the Beast, viewers of the film cannot help but see the drastic character development which occurs.

Due to his unkind behaviour, a witch casts a spell on him, which morphs him into his monstrous form. His human form would be his to hold again, as long as he could change his ways, and have someone fall in love with him.
