Both Beasts are willing to do and give anything for beauty and the girl to keep them happy. Although Beast kept beauty hostage, he is gentleman enough to give her, her own space if she does not want anything to do with him: “you alone are mistress here; you need only bid me gone, if my presence is troublesome, and I will immediately withdraw” (LePrince de Beaumont 6).

If you have ever been interested in the world of why serial killers kill, chances are you have done some research or even watched the insanely popular television show Dexter. “Dexter Morgan is a Forensics Expert, a loyal brother, boyfriend, and friend.

I believe we as a society are intrigued with shows like Dexter because they allow us a temporary escape from reality.

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.

For example, in 2010 17-year-old, Andrew Conley strangled his 10-year-old brother, Connor Conley, to death with his bare hands. After confessing to murder of his brother he told investigators, “he identifies with Dexter” (Thompson). Showtime drama, DEXTER, is about a man who lives a double life as a blood spatter analyst within the Miami Police Department and a serial killer. When taken to court Conley confessed to killing his brother and said, “he had an uncontrollable urge for murder and wanted to model himself after the TV serial killer Dexter…I feel just like him” (Thompson). It is quite startling to hear a 17-year-old say he identifies with a serial killer. Also, during trial Andrew stated, the day after he killed Connor he was fighting

Dexter Morgan is a praiseworthy character from Showtime’s TV series Dexter. It shows an insight into a peculiar man’s life where nothing is what it seems.

That night, although Jack had checked there were no wasps still in the nest, Danny is stung several times, and when Jack manages to put a bowl over the nest, there are many wasps trapped inside.
