- Synopsis
- Beast is cursed to hideousness and isolation, but one day detains an intruder sheltering from a storm who clips a rose for his daughter. The old man agrees to have his daughter take his place. Beauty accepts this responsibility and the two grow closer. Beast releases her when her father falls ill, and so she must decide what fate will befall her, her family, and her former captor.
Indexer Notes
This version is not strictly consistent with any particular version of this story first documented in France over 250 years ago. For example, here Beauty has at least three siblings, and the witch who has stricken Beast checks on him occasionally to witness the progress of his punishment.
