Beauty And The Beast Vs La Belle Et La Bete

Beauty and the Beast is a traditional fairy tale and its first version of this fairy tale was written by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve who was a French author. She wrote the first version of Beauty and the Beast and her title of this book was La Belle et la Bete. This version was published by La jeune ameriquaine, et les contes marins, and it was over one hundred pages long containing many subplots and involving a Beast. The main elements of Villeneuve’s version were almost the same as the second version of Jeanne-Marie Le Prince De Beaumont. The summary of the first version is as follows. The beast was a prince who lost his father at a young age. The prince’s mother had to engage in war to defend the kingdom. The queen then left him in care of an evil fairy, who tried to take control over the prince, but when he refused, she turned him into a beast.
Belle in this version was not a merchant’s daughter, but the child of a king and a good fairy.
When the wicked fairy had tried to murder Belle, so that she could marry the king, Belle had to fake that she was a merchant’s dead daughter, so that she wouldn’t get killed by the bad fairy. The best known version of Beauty and the Beast is a version written by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince De Beaumont which was published in 1756 by Magasin des enfants, ou dialogues entre une sage gouvernante et plusieurs de ses eleves which translates to store of children or dialogues between a sage housekeeper and several of its pupils. An English version of this type of Beauty and the Beast was published in 1757. Many types of stories about the Beauty and the Beast are based on the second version and are known throughout all
Europe. In France, Zemire et Azor is a play that was written by Jean-Francois Marmontel, a French historian and writer and it was composed by Andre Getry, a French composer in 1771. The fairy tale Beauty and the Beast has been adapted for screen, stage, prose, and television over the years. The version of this fairy tale that I have watched is the 1991 Walt Disney Feature Animation which was a musical animated filmed that was titled Beauty and the Beast. This version of the fairy tale was different from the Beaufort’s version in many ways. First of all, Belle’s dad was not a merchant in this movie, but an inventor. In the movie, Belle is also friends with the Beast’s servants which were transformed into household objects like a broom. Even though there were some changes to this movie from the second version of the Beauty and the Beast, it was pretty much similar to it. Speaking of the second version of Beauty and the Beast, many things were changed from the first version of the tale and the second. In the second, there are three sisters who are the daughters of a wealthy merchant. One sister is Belle and she is nice, but her sisters are mean and rude. The merchant then becomes poor and they have to live in a small farmhouse and work for a living. The merchant lost all his wealth in a storm and when a boat arrives in the city, the merchant goes to the city and asks his daughter if they want anything. The two mean girls want jewels and dresses and Belle wants a rose. The merchant finds that his boat has been seized to pay his debts and he can’t buy anything for his girls. When the merchant goes home, he gets lost in a forest and he finds a house with food in it. In the next day, he was about to leave when he wanted to get a rose for Belle. The owner of the house is a Beast and he tells the merchant that since he stole his rose, he must die. The merchant then tells that Beast that he wanted that rose for his daughter and that Beast then tells the merchant that if he brings his girl to his palace, he won’t die. The merchant accepts and when he told Belle at home about his secret, Belle accepted and he left to the Beast’s palace. At the palace, the Beast treats Belle like a queen and he wants her to marry him. Belle refuses because she loves a prince from her dream and she becomes convinced that the Beast has him in a room, but she never finds him. Belle lives like a princess at the palace and after several months, becomes homesick. She wants the Beast to let her go home and he says yes as long as she comes back in one week. Belle goes home with an enchanted mirror and ring that lets her see what is happening in the palace and if she turns the ring three times around her finger, she’ll go back to the Beast. Belle then tells her sisters about her life in the palace, they grow jealous after hearing that she has to go back in a certain day. The sisters fake their crying with onions, so she could stay longer and so when she broke her promise, the Beast will eat her. Belle then sees on her mirror that the Beast is half-dead by the roses and she uses her ring to go back to the palace. When she arrives, she cries over the Beast and he turns into a charming prince. The Prince then tells her that when a fairy wanted to come into his house, and he refused, that fairy cursed him and the only cure was finding true love. He and Belle are later married and they live happy for the rest of their lives. That is the history of the first and second version of Beauty and the Beast.
