In Beauty and the Beast, the Beast is a lovely prince who was cursed by an enchantress to become a beast because he had no love in his heart. The enchantment could only be broken if he found real love and earned the affection of another.
The Beast fell in love with Belle after she decided to marry him to save her father’s life. The Beast’s magic was broken when he and Belle married, and he transformed back into the prince from Belle’s dreams.
The message of Beauty and the Beast is that people should favour inner traits like kindness over external qualities like looks. The Beast signifies inner goodness and the transformational power of love.
