What is so wonderful about this story? There are lots of love stories out there (Disney even seems to have a corner on the market in this department!) But I believe this is a story that everyone can identify with. There's a man who's after a woman that doesn't like him, there's a beautiful heroine that doesn't seem to fit in anywhere, and there's a hideous Beast that no one loves and that feels he can't love another.
But I think the reason I like it so much is that I can identify with it so well. I have my own Beauty and the Beast story if you would be interested in it. It involves myself as the Beast and my beautiful Princess as the Beauty.
Here are some important Beauty and the Beast links:
