Vieled Beauty
Walt Disney's film Beauty and the Beast in comparison to Roman and Greek Mythologies tale of "Cupid and Psyche." Walt Disney said it best when he stated, "True beauty comes from within." Through precise design and articulation, the creators of the film Beauty and the Beast formed an elegant tale of true love found within the darkness of the unknown. Belle, the films beautiful book-loving heroine, starred as the main character in this Walt Disney classic Beauty and the Beast. It is throughout this film that Belle searches for more than her provincial life yet strangely finds what she was looking for confined within a cold dark mysterious palace. The search for internal beauty, the involvement of sacrifice and the curiosity of women can be traced back to the early days of Roman and Greek Mythology and can be found in present day tales. The passion for obtaining a more fulfilling was also found within Psyche, the protagonist in the Roman and Greek Mythological tale titled "Cupid and Psyche." Like Belle, Psyche found herself in search for more than what she already had in life. Both magnificent tales, Beauty and the Beast and "Cupid and Psyche," share similar concepts about beauty found from within and a
Belle trusted that the Beast was truly as her heart said he was, kind and gentle. Both Psyche and Belle were brought to unimaginable places, light and dark, and both were made to feel welcome as if these palaces were their homes. She was specifically told to not search the west wing of the palace, yet her curiosity drove her to go anyhow. Psyche was given remarkable service by the servants as Belle was, except Psyche could not see her subjects and Belle was able to see subjects as material objects. Unfortunately, Psyche let doubt, in the form of her two sisters, take over the loving faith she had for her new mate. These classics have also inscribed the lessons of love that still exist today: Trust your heart, have faith in love and most importantly, things aren't always the way they seem. Psyche grew curious and suspicious of Cupid because she pondered the thought of him being a horrific monster. Once Psyche was brought to the beautiful palace, she was embraced by wonderful servants that were not able to materialize before her eyes. Trust in love and the willingness to keep the faith is what kept Belle and the Beast together, and lack therefore, is what separated Psyche from Cupid. Luckily, these two great love stories have a happy ending: Belle and the Beast fall in love and live happily ever after. These servants aided Psyche's happiness and saw to it that she remained at ease. Psyche, unlike Belle, sacrificed her freedom to find love. In the tale of Beauty and the Beast, the Beast releases Belle from all confinements and lets her return to her father. In the tale of Beauty and the Beast, Belle is faced with a terribly frightening situation; she gave up her father and her freedom all in one day.
