Why Is The Beast Bad

Did you really have a good childhood if you never heard of the Big Bad Wolf. The Big Bad Wolf in both stories and most movies is the villain and this will be proven by what research has to say about him in the stories Little Red Riding Hood and The wolf and the seven kids. Usually in movies the wolf is always bad and this will also be proven by the movie Beauty and The Beast.

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.

Despite his vengeance against all of mankind, when the reader is given the chance to heat “the monster’s” narrative, it can be proven just how capable the creation is of love, kindness, and compassion. For example, “the monster” stole firewood from

When the monster is first created victor says "he held up the curtain of the bed; and his eyes, if they may be called, were fixed on me. His jaw opened and he muttered some inarticulate sounds, while a grin wrinkled his cheeks." So this shows that at the beginning the creature was a happy to be alive, good person I would say. But he was treated poorly. He came to life and

The rejection the creature faces in the female role causes him to adopt the male role in his story, forcing him to attempt to sacrifice his feminine morals of emotionality, as social norms make it impossible for the creature to reconcile the male and female roles. The creature mistakenly kills William, and this leads the creature to believe that perhaps he is not like Adam (157). Rather, he begins to see himself as powerful — as if playing the role of Satan, whom he

What separates man from beast are morals. Since the monster never received any love or teaching of morals.

Many of you may be thinking a beast is someone who is ugly, big, and monstrous, but is that really true? A beast can be within ourselves. The beast is us. In William Golding’s “The Lord of the Flies” includes many monstrous behavior, a boy like Jack. Whom was stuck on the island with other boys. He was different. Very dark, someone who wanted to take initiative with every chance he had, a dictator is what he was in somewhat form. Believing based off of his real intention, Jack is the beast within himself.

Jack is a dictator, hypocritical, and someone

When the creature notices what he is capable of doing, he begins to enjoy the power he has over regular people, “I gazed on my victim and my heart swelled with exultation,” (Shelley, 144). The creature, at first, does not want to commit crimes or hurt people, he is only looking for friendship, but if he gets upset or someone insults him, he will lose control and will do anything to make them feel the same way, even if that means inflicting physical pain on others. As the story goes on, he begins to realize and know the difference between right and wrong, which can make the readers not feel bad for him because he notices what he is doing and it is considered immoral.

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.

“There isn’t anyone to help you. Only me. And I’m the Beast--Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill! Said the head. You knew, didn’t you? I’m part of you? Close, close, close! I’m the reason why it’s a no go? Why things are the way they are?” (page 206)

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

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).
