About: Beast and Beauty   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The male is usually a monster physically, capable of great rage and destruction. The female is kind, smart, and emotional. She brings out the best in him. She sees the good; he smashes anything that threatens her into itty-bitty pieces. The 'beast' is almost always a man, though there may be exceptions. The ideal is often so high that sexual relations are not mentioned (Not by the creators, at least). If physical relations do occur -- if it's even possible -- expect doom, unless some magic (like the power of True Love's Kiss) occurs to turn the male into a less objectionable form.

A common subversion is making the Beast intelligent and cynical, much like a subversion of the Gentle Giant. For a man who just looks monstrous, see Ugly Guy, Hot Wife. See But Your Wings Are Beautiful for a Distaff Counterpart. If the "beast" part is downplayed, it may be a case of Interspecies Romance. (The subversion actually occurs in the original "Beauty and the Beast" by Madame de Villeneuve. The adaptation that popularized the tale, by Mademoiselle de Beaumont, introduced the Beast's curse affecting his behavior.) Examples of Beast and Beauty include:
