Moral lesson of the Beauty and the Beast?

Answer 1

Outside appearance doesn't matter and don't be self absorbed.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The beast not outside but inside; however charming someone may seem to be, it is not their outside facade you should be looking at but what lies below it.

Answer 2

The best moral lesson in the story Beauty and the Beast is that you should share with others and also be good.

Or alternatively, that Stockholm Syndrome can sometimes have a happy ending :P

Another lesson is that the outward appearance isn't the most important part, but that we all need to learn to be kind and loving on the inside. To not judge people because they are scary-looking, but to get to know them, and see value in everyone.

The sharing moral only applies to the Disney version. The original fairytale was a coming-of-age story, and some believe it to be a metaphor for sexual/romantic awakening - the Beast represents how a prepubescent girl would view sex. When the Beast transforms into a handsome prince, it represents Beauty's sexual/romantic awakening, as she sees him in an entirely new light.

If there's a moral in the fairy tale, it's that you ought to keep your promises because things could go very badly if you don't.

Answer 3
