Cupid And Frankenstein

The fairytale “Beauty and the Beast” by Jeanne-Marie LePrince De Beaumont was produced in France in 1756. The story is about a wealthy merchant with six children, three boys and three girls. With the story’s primary focus on the girls, we learn that the youngest of the daughters, named Beauty, was admired for her kindness and well behaved manners. Due to Beauty being the town favorite, her sisters grew jealous and hated her. When Beauty’s father falls in debt with a Beast, her father sends her off to live with the Beast. In the end, Beauty gets to know the Beast and accepts to be his wife. Although, Beauty and the Beast have their ‘happily ever after’, social and economic complications hindered their relationship.

Victor Frankenstein worried about everyone else and playing God, rather than trying to do right, morally. Victor had to go through a lot of steps and difficulties to create the monster. After the creation of the monster, everyone including Victor abandoned him. Victor refused to create a girl creature to avoid a lot of problems, but he did not realize the hell the monster would end up causing him. Victor regrets trying to play God because his action would cause him great troubles and consequences.

Frankenstein is a classic science fiction novel written by Mary Shelley, through the ages, many adaptations have taken the story through various forms of popular culture. SpongeBob Squarepants, a popular children 's television show often alludes to classic literature, and makes it entertaining for all ages. While this example is quite comical, it does hold classical elements associated with Frankenstein, but takes a spin on the classic science fiction novel. In this essay I will consider the similarities and differences between the two texts; “Frankendoodle” as well as “Frankenstein”. By looking at the allusion apparent in “Frankendoodle”, it is clear to see that many of the more popularized characteristics are found throughout the text,

Although the classic Shakespearean tragedy Romeo and Juliet depicts love at first sight between the two titular protagonists, such is not truly attainable in its entirety. Mainly, this is due to the nature of true love, which requires more than what can be obtained upon first sight, or even over the course of a few days, as in the case of Romeo and Juliet, where it is illustrated that the protagonists are so deeply in love with each other that they consider their romance to be of a higher priority than their own lives; that they had been willing to sacrifice themselves for their lover. In addition, love often segues

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. Belle is a normal woman, not a witch or a wizard; she has no special powers and is not old or dwarfish in any way. Also, Beast is extremely reluctant to accept any help from her. 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. He decides after Belle's departure from his castle to learn to love and be kindhearted. Although her help may have had an impact on his transformation, it was the mere presence of her and his own self conscience that ultimately helped him conquer his relentless curse. This is quite different from what Seger illustrates in her hero myth theory.

In the movie “Beauty and the Beast”, the role of a man and woman in an abusive relation is practically spelled out and strait from Disney’s female lead jar. Belle is kidnaped by the Beast and forced o live in the dungeon until her father is ripped away from her. During this time she is completely defenseless to the Beasts onslaught and often retreats within herself and rarely confronts him. Beast on the other hand, portraying an abusive male, does everything to a tee. He yells, bangs on doors, throws furniture, and even threatens starvation when Belle goes against him. Belle, being the kind and gentle female lead, looks past all his rage and finds he prince inside; highlighting the common problem in abusive relationships. The abused partner holding onto the hope that their abuser will change, that they will love them and show them the tenderness that used to be there. Women (could also be men) are supposed to take the abuse and wait it out, showing nothing but love while the abuser rampages and eventually, things will be just like the fairy tales.

Probably all the more reason Gaston wanted to marry her. Jim was the kid who got whatever he wanted. He was wealthy, athletic and had the beautiful head cheerleader, Kim, by his side. Both were juxtaposed by their looks and personalities. They maybe were the best looking around, but they were horrible people. They also shared the same fate; losing the girl to “the beasts” and dying trying to win them back. The villagers and suburbanites were a like in a few ways. The villagers in Beauty and the Beast minded their own business for the most part. They only played a part in trying to kill the Beast towards the end of the film. In Edward Scissorhands the suburbanites were nosy and would bring extra conflicts for Edward to overcome. The most memorable would be when Joyce tries to seduce Edward and fails. She then lies and says he tried to rape her making everyone else wonder how safe it is to be around him. In the end, they gather as a mob and try to kill Edward, just like the villagers. Also, Peg, Kim’s mother, and Papa, Belle’s father, are similar. They were aberrant compared to everyone else. Peg was into selling her Avon make-up that no one wanted to

The first character to be discussed is Belle, in the original book. An author online even states “The original Beauty and the Beast Story is not what you expect” ( S. Paul). What is unique about Belle in the book is that she is the youngest of six children, which is never shown in the movie. Her father is not an inventor either, but is a very wealthy merchant who loses his fortune. The whole family in the original was forced to move to the country, where they had to live much more simple. Belle is a very special girl though, with very jealous older sisters of her beauty but also the fact that she is able to not be miserable in such a simple lifestyle.

Discrimination is treating someone differently, often unfairly, because he/she is a part of a specific group, class or category of people. For instance, a girl named Wu Qing in China was discriminated against and could not find a job because how her body was a bit chubby and the scars in her face from an accident in her early childhood. Even though she was kind and used to be straight-A student, she had no friends. Now, she is looking for selling her kidney in order to pay the plastic surgery fee. Discrimination can change a person from innocent to evil is an important theme in the novel “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley. Even though

Referring back to fairytales like Beauty and the Beast film which involves the beast who magically got turned into a beast as a disciplining act because of his selfishness. Then a beautiful young women by the name of Belle, got imprisoned in the castle. The beast is very fond of Belle since he first laid eyes on her. During the movie Belle being the catalyst for the Beast’s need of wanting to change. But he distances himself from her because he has two mindsets. Which is a man and the other is a raging beast. The beast is going through trying to

Belle was kind to the Beast, and then she found her prince. It took courage to look into the eyes of someone that took away everything and see the good.

The beast is described as this dreadful monster, the epitome of a masculine figure. He is a provider for beauty and her family and is therefore suppose to be seen as a dominant figure in the story. In the book Go! Be A Beast: Beauty and the Beast written by Marina Warner, Warner says “Beauty stand in need of the Beast, rather than vice versa, and the Beast beastliness is good, even adorable''(Warner 416). By the end of the story it is realize that the Beast is really dependent on Beauty and not vice versa. Without Beauty acceptance and true love kiss, the beast isn’t able to become the handsome guy he truly is. Therefore the beast would be left to live a life of

Many of the troubles that modern teenagers go through are shown throughout the movie. There are troubles with relationships, trying to get each others attention and understand what they both like and want. There are troubles with parents, high school, having low self-esteem, never feeling good enough and all the horrible things in the world. In the Grim version the spell is broken by true love in general but in order to break the spell in Beastly it is broken by true loves kiss. In Beauty and the Beast she just has to tell the beast how she feels and the spell is broken.

Though the books were published almost seven decades apart the monsters in Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde share many similarities: They were both created in laboratories by European scientists for somewhat morally suspect purposes, both were outcasts of society, and murdered characters secondary to their creator. Even in their final days they followed a similar archetype by taking the lives of their creators before ending their own. One should ask the question why these stories have stood the test of time while countless others fall by the wayside.

In Short, in the motion picture Beauty and the Beast (2017), there is the Beast who is cursed by an enchantress at the beginning of the movie because he had no love in his heart and she turned him into a hideous Beast. The only way that the Beast can become human again is if he falls in love and revives the same love in return before the last Rose petal drops. The character
