    Archetypes In Zelinda's Beauty And The Beast

    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.…

    Gaston And The Beast Essay

    Since the beast is seen as a monstrous beast, you would think that it would be impossible for anyone to fall in love with him. For this reason, Gaston is brought up in the movie as the complete opposite of the beast. “The fact that Disney creates this “charming” character as a “bad guy” and casts a “horrible ugly beast” as the “good guy” (who Belle even states is “no prince charming”) utterly goes against the stereotype, replacing it instead with the message that it’s not what a person has on the outside that matters, but what’s on the inside (Wynn Earl).” Disney helps get this message across by making Gaston the handsomest gentlemen in town with big muscular biceps and he happens to want to marry the prettiest girl, Belle. Unfortunately for…
