My favorite fairy tale has always been "Beauty and the Beast." When I was younger the tale resonated with me for more superficial reasons, such as the princess's dress being my favorite color or her hair being the same color as mine. However, as I grow older the story still remains my favorite because I genuinely enjoy the complex plot and characters. I have always appreciated how Belle is more than just a damsel in distress and constantly displays her bravery by speaking her mind and standing up for her beliefs even when they differ from those around her. I love how she is also more than just a pretty face and has many admirable qualities and academic interests. I also really like how complex and misunderstood the character of the beast is and I love seeing his genuine transformation throughout the story. I think all versions of the story do good jobs of captivating the reader and telling a beautiful story of how love is about more than just superficial things.
