“Don’t judge a book by its cover.”
This has been the widely known theme of the tale “Beauty and the Beast”. It entails us to never judge a person by his appearance because things aren’t always the way they seem. In other words, one must rather try to look past with the eyes can see, and look that person inwardly where his true personality is found for beauty lies within.
However, there are a lot of values we can draw from the story characters. Gaston for example serves as the main antagonist. He is rude, conceited, small-minded, and spends his time fighting and drinking. Do you think he is to be followed? I don’t think either.
On the other hand, Prince Adam as beast is strong but kind-hearted, intimidating but caring, and spends his time thinking ‘bout his beastly self...I mean everything about his curse. Sad to say, his attitudes change as provoked by an ugly spell. He wanted to be alone just like me when people would make negative impressions of me that are absolutely wrong. However, it doesn’t remain for too long and it doesn’t define his natural character.
Belle is my favourite character. Why? It’s because the will of sacrifice reigns in her heart. It was proved when she rescued her father by staying with unwanted beast. I know it’s hard for her to be away from her beloved parent, but she did it anyway. I even admire the way Belle treats the beast. We can seldom find a person nowadays with that endangered attitude like hers.
Indeed, the film was admired by millions of people around the globe, most popularly to children because of its picturesque scenes and well-known of its virtuous values. This tale was created a long while but it’s good to reminisce the thing, not that you wanted to be a child again but to be refreshed of the values that have been taught when we’re still a child.
