One of the most important themes of Beastly is True Love. In the end, this is what caused Kyle to turn back into a human again. During the exposition, Kendra turns Kyle into a beast. This is when Kyle starts to act all forgiving and says “You’re right… I won’t do it again.” ~(Flinn, Page 39) Even though he thought he wouldn’t do it again Kendra still felt it was necessary and turned him into

With these innovations, problems both contemporary and archaic have reared their ugly heads; one of the greatest of these issues is bullying.

The term humanity itself is redefined in this film and is stripped to its bare minimum: the mere biological relationship between humans.…
