Beauty and the Beast . Both Madame Le Prince and Madame de Villeneuve incorporate within Beauty’s narrative a counterpart, namely, a Beast imported from tales of people transformed into subhuman animal form, who search, often as male Cinderellas, for some way to be returned to their human form. The learning of compassion and empathy are crucial for both sides of the paradigm. Compare Cinderella versions such as “Donkey Skin” and “Allerleirauh,” where the animal form is only a disguise and is worn by the woman. These kinds of narratives tend to be strongly gendered in their exploration of compatible opposites, but they also are alert to tensions between the spiritual and physical within individual psyches. Like Cinderella stories, Beauty and the Beast stories are studies in acknowledgement as well as endurance. Madame Gabrielle- Susanne Barbot de Gallon de Villeneuve. The family is forced to move to an isolated spot in the country. The children, having grown up as socialites, are unable to adjust to rustication — all except the youngest, a sixteen year old daughter, Belle, who decides that it is better to be cheerful and meet misfortune with perseverance and resolution. She is scorned by her siblings for such low notions. News comes that one last ship of the merchant’s fleet has survived and come into port. The father goes to see if their fortune has been restored but discovers that the goods have been ruined and the rest impounded by his creditors. He had promised to return home with gifts for the children, who demanded rich clothing, etc., all except Belle, who asked only for her father’s good health and a rose. On his return, empty- handed, the father is caught in a blizzard and takes refuge in a castle filled with lifelike statues but no people. Nonetheless, the hearth fire burns and a meal appears on a table. The father eats, then sleeps. When he awakens he seeks the genius of the place and in the garden picks a rose to give to Belle. At that moment a beast appears, roaring and placing its elephant trunk on the merchant’s neck, pronouncing a sentence of death on the man. The sentence can be modified if the merchant gives the beast one of his daughters in his place. She must come willingly, moreover. Belle accepts blame for the incident and insists on going to the Beast. Recalling an ancient prediction, the merchant permits Belle to return with him. Beast rewards the father handsomely, though Belle advises him on what to take (gold and diamonds rather than fancy clothing). She sleeps well at the castle and has wonderful dreams of a youth — a fair unknown — who talks with her reassuringly. She is surprised to find in the castle a picture of a youth identical to the one she saw in her dream. At Beast’s palace she is entertained with art, birds, monkeys, theater, etc., and time passes. The dream continues, warning her not to be deceived by appearances. Beauty begins defending Beast in her dreams. A lady also appears in her dreams to advise her. Belle begins to distrust Beast and the fair unknown, who seem at odds with each other, yet similar. Beast permits Belle to return to her father, who is ill. The money has run out. Belle learns of other kindnesses to her father but overstays her time because of enticements by the sisters. Though the dream of the fair unknown vanishes, the lady reappears in her dreams and tells of Beast’s illness. She returns to find him dying in a cave. She expresses her love for him and Beast rallies. Now, instead of being dumb, he speaks eloquently. She agrees to marry him and the sky bursts into a fireworks display. Beast is transformed into the state he enjoyed before he was cursed, and Belle recognizes him as the man of her dreams and the one pictured in the palace. Two women visit, one the lady of Belle’s dreams and the other the queen, who blesses the marriage. But then Belle acknowledges her common origins: the queen is shocked. She offers Belle other husbands. The prince says he would rather be a beast again than lose Belle. Belle asks for one reward of the queen — that her father be restored to her. At this point the Fairy intervenes and favors the lovers. She says that the queen is in error, for Belle is not in truth the child of the merchant. Rather she was born of the fairy’s sister and is of higher rank than the prince. As a baby they hid her with the merchant so that another jealous fairy might not harm her. The queen asks forgiveness for the prejudices of her rank. Belle then asks for the prince’s story: His father died before he was born. His mother became a warrior queen and defended the kingdom well, even defeating other aggressive provinces. The prince, put in the care of an elder fairy of high rank, studied hard, and he too became a warrior. His mother worries about his desire for battle. But the ugly old fairy wants him for a husband, even though she has the power to be beautiful only one day a year. The queen mother is shocked and speaks against the impropriety of such a marriage. The prince stands by his mother and refuses. In a rage the old fairy transforms him into a creature even more ugly than she is. Moreover he will be stupid, unable to think or speak clearly. The curse may be broken only if someone, of her own volition, loves him so utterly that she will marry him. The good fairy comforts the prince. He must forget who he is. She will help him break the spell. The queen mother must keep the secret too. As a comfort to the prince she provides him with theater and art. She then comes up with her plan to rescue Belle at the same time that she is rescuing the prince. The prince recapitulates how difficult it was for him as he to be with Belle yet to maintain silence. To see Belle was to love her. An impulse of self- love hidden under the horrible outward form kept alive the hope that she might someday love him despite the hideous circumstance. He explains how he would approach her at night in his true form and in her dreams, and how the portrait in the house might also speak to her. The fairy protects him by threatening him with a dagger if he were to attempt to explain the story too soon. She snatched him from the grave, so to speak. Belle’s real father arrives, thrilled to learn that his daughter, whom he thought he had lost, still lives. All express their debt to Belle. The story of Belle’s mother, a shepherdess, is next explained. Her marriage to the fairy king had to be hidden on the Fortunate Island. But she was apparently lost while the king defended his borders. Then the good fairy tells her story. The shepherdess was in truth her sister who had assumed a disguise to get beyond the laws of faerie. But she was exposed by a jealous fairy who wanted to marry the king. She put a curse on the child (Belle) that she would become the bride of a monster. The old fairy hoped to destroy the child by degrading her as a scullion. The good fairy gets control of Belle and searches for a means of protecting her. At one point an abductor attempts to steal her when she was a wee baby, but the good fairy, in the form of a bear, destroys the abductor. Nearby shepherds affirm the story. She then learns of a merchant’s wife, who has given birth to a sick and dying infant, and Belle is substituted. She does grow up in adversity, working as a scullion. But the fairy gives the merchant a prophecy that the child will bring him great wealth. Meanwhile, the bad old fairy would marry the king who is grieving over the apparent loss of his wife and daughter. But the good fairy, having lived now a thousand years, gains greater power and is able to contrive a means so that the harmful curses of the old fairy will become blessings. She tells how her sister, the onetime shepherdess, had to endure great hardships, passing part of her life as a serpent, learning of devastating misery until she were able to reappear and regain her husband. But now they are all reunited and the bad fairy imprisoned. Belle asks to see the merchant, who is invited to the feast. He is surprised to learn of the changeling: he is both sad and glad. All in the family celebrate her story. Then she and the prince are married and fly away on an enchanted horse. The prince’s mother has the events recorded in the archives of her kingdom so that people will never cease talking about the wonderful adventures of Beauty and the Beast. See Zipes (Beauties, Beasts, and Enchantments, pp. Mlle de Villeneuve’s story. Amsterdam, 1. 78. Madame Jean- Marie Le Prince de Beaumont. Le magasin des enfans, ou dialogues entre une sage gouvernant et plusiers de ses . Le Prince de Beaumont. A widower merchant had three daughters and three sons. All the daughters were pretty but the youngest most of all. The older girls loved the social life of the rich; the youngest loved to read and was mocked by the others. By a turn of fortune the father lost his wealth and they were forced to live in a small country house. Beauty took the disaster in stride, working, reading, playing the harpsichord, and spinning. She kept the household together. Years pass and the father learns that one of his ships has at last come into port. The spoiled girls want expensive presents; Beauty asks only for a rose. But the father discovers that the ship has been impounded, the cargo ruined, and the ship worthless. On his return he is caught in a raging snowstorm and takes refuge in a strangely peaceful estate in the wilderness. There seem to be no people evident but there is hay in the stable for his horse and food on the table for him. He eats and thanks “madam fairy” for being so kind to him. He sleeps and after breakfast starts to return home, picking a rose for Beauty as he leaves. Suddenly he is seized by a hideous monster who will kill him unless one of his daughters will return in his place by own volition. The merchant returns home, grief stricken. When the children find out the cause only Beauty does not weep. Her brothers object but she insists. The horse takes her to the place, and she places herself at the Beast’s mercy. He sees that she is good and treats her well.
