He uses this to achieve his purpose of demonstrating how appearance can have more weight to an outcome than reality.…

    In a tale of love and despair, the use of archetypes in “Beauty and the Beast”, written in 1756, helps to portray the theme and enables it to be applicable to real life. The tale is about a beautiful woman named Beauty who is forced to live with a Beast and eventually learns to see past his appearance and learn to love him. Thus, in the story, the theme portrays that there is more to a person than their outward appearance. This is exemplified with the Beast, who is included in multiple archetypes and is usually judged based on his looks, and with Beauty, who is the heroine of the story. Other similar texts are “Zelinda and the Monster” and “the Bear Prince” however both have their differences and similarities to the original fairytale.…
