Abstract
This paper discusses censorship within the fairy tale, "Beauty and the Beast." It compares two versions of "Beauty and the Beast" - one of the original versions by Jeanne Marie Le Prince de Beaumont and a modern re-telling by Angela Carter, entitled "The Tiger's Bride." The paper examines the function of sexual desire and how censorship is employed to either dilute or completely erase representations thereof.
From the Paper
"It is also interesting to note the difference between the depictions of Beauty in the two stories. In de Beaumont's story, Beauty exudes all the quintessentially feminine "virtues" that would go unchallenged for several centuries. She is devoted to her father, submissive to the demands of the two men in her life - namely, her father and the Beast, and completely passive. In Carter's story, Beauty is anything but passive. Rather than "taming" the Beast by submitting to him, she allows herself to be transformed into a beast, and can thus become one with all the typically "masculine" qualities assigned to the creature.
"One important difference between the two stories, however, is that de Beaumont's was written for an audience of children, while Carter's clearly was not. This is also why sexual desire is largely absent from de Beaumont's text. It has not been censored necessarily in order to protect children, but for the simple reason that this form of desire is too complex for children to understand. It thus reduces the relationships among adults to caricature-like renderings, to a polite code that can nevertheless be unscrambled by more mature readers."

Abstract
This paper explains that the leitmotif of the husban- beast in Madame Du Beaumont's classical version of the fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast" reoccurs in many stories. The paper points out that, in this version of the famous fairytale, the attraction between the sublimely beautiful and the monstrously ugly may hide a fetishist desire at the core of the culture. The paper stresses that the union between a beast and a human being, which forms the plot of the fairytale, obviously hints at the beast-like, sexual desires, which lurk in the human subconscious.
From the Paper
"Another erotic element in the story is the dream Beauty has of the Beast after having delayed her return because of her sisters' wickedness. Thus, Beauty dreams of the dying Beast, longing for her presence and reproaching her for breaking her promise: The tenth night she spent at her father's, she dreamed she was in the palace garden, and that she saw Beast extended on the grass-plot, who seemed just expiring, and, in a dying voice, reproached her with her ingratitude. It is at this point that Beauty actually realizes she has strong feelings for the Beast."

"When Linda Woolverton wrote the screenplay for Walt Disney's movie 'Beauty and the Beast', her grand cast of characters portrayed a wide variety and range of different personality types. Consistent with Disney movies, many of the personalities displayed take various personality traits and portray them as extremes. As such, Disney movies make an excellent source from which to study personality disorders. According to the research, personality disorders are displayed through maladaptive, inflexible and antisocial behavior as evidenced by the way a person thinks, feels or behaves ("Personality Disorders").

Abstract
This paper examines how the fairy tale, "Beauty and the Beast", has a touch of realism and, how unlike other fairy tales, brings out the prevalent theme that the two characters live together for a period of time before falling in love. It discusses its various themes, such as family, friendship, love, and the famous rose, in contrast to other fairy tales dealing with love, provides a summary of the tale, and evaluates the Disney film in relation to the original tale.
From the Paper
"Walt Disney transformed Belle into a heroine for a modern generation, leaving the intended moral of the original story unaltered. Jack Zipes argues that ?it would be a great exaggeration to maintain that Disney... totally divested the classical fairy tales of their meaning and invested them with his own? (333). Although the Disney corporation has animated and reworked several classic fairy tales over many years, ?chang[ing] our way of viewing fairy tales? (333), I give them great credit for preserving the original morals and themes, while adding new elements and slight twists to add appeal for a twentieth-century viewing audience. I admire Disney?s effort in ?Beauty and the Beast? especially, for it has always been my favorite fairy tale and Disney animation as I was growing up."

Disneyfication of "Beauty and the Beast", 2008.
A comparative analysis of Madame Leprince de Beaumont's "Beauty and the Beast" and the Disney film version.

Abstract
This paper examines the Disney adaptation of Madame Leprince de Beaumont's "Beauty and the Beast" . The paper contends that an analysis of Belle's character reveals that Disney's treatment of the fairy tale entirely neuters the story, taking away its dramatic, harsh moral lessons, and diminishing its female role model to an idle idiot who should not have survived the first ten minutes. The paper continues to discusses how this is further exacerbated by the introduction of cute, irrelevant animated characters who only serve to trivialize the film further. The paper concludes that, while traditional fairy tales offered chicken soup for the soul, Disney offers canned soup for the soul.
From the Paper
"Beaumont's Beauty has many other good qualities besides, and demonstrates them consistently throughout the story. For example, she is patient when her shrewish sisters berate her. She is considerate when her father offers her gifts, requesting almost nothing for fear it might be beyond his means. She does ask for a rose, not because she wants one, but because she does not want to show her sisters up. Thus, in somewhat Christian fashion, she turns the other cheek, meeting her sisters' insults with kindness and consideration. Disney's Belle gets no such opportunity to show Christian charity - this lucky young woman is an only child, unburdened with mean-spirited sisters! Again, the Disney character is denied the opportunity to model strength of character to viewers, and instead remains comparatively insipid. "

This essay explores the additions and changes to the original fairy tale that Disney Company inserted when they produced the 1992 animated version of "Beauty and the Beast". It explains the advantages that animation has when making changes to book and gives other examples of when the Disney Company has done so.
From the Paper
"The Disney company's animated feature film Beauty and the Beast (1992) tells a well-known folk story in a fresh way, developing personalities for the characters that were not apparent in the fairy tale from which the story is taken. The film added other features and characters, including something feasible only in a fairy tale or an animated film, anthropomorphic furnishings that turn out to be enchanted servants left with their changed master. An animated film is built of abstract images, for no matter how much the artist may attempt to render reality, it is always only an image of reality and thus an abstraction. The abstract images of the animated film are developed so as to serve the needs of the story, to convey not only the details of the story as such but also the underlying meaning which constitutes plot."

"This study will provide a review of The Machine That Changed the World, by James P. Womack, Daniel T. Jones, and Daniel Roos. The analysis will be based on three standards or criteria for measuring the book and its success: Is the book important? Is the presentation of the book such that a reader --- whether interested originally in the subject or not---would generally find the book interesting? and Does the book succeed in doing what the authors set out to have it do?
The thrust of the report will be that, yes, the book succeeds on all three points of evaluation.
Is the book important? In other words, will it make some difference in the life of the reader in the way he sees the world, or will it make some difference in the world itself? Is it merely entertainment? Is it so speculative that it is nothing ..."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe. Specifically it considers Poe's assertion that the ultimate subject for a work of art is the death of a beautiful woman. Poe's assertion that death begets art is seen in light of many of the world's greatest works of fiction and poetry. The author concludes that the death of a beautiful woman as a powerful good literary device was used effectively in "The Raven."
From the Paper
"While the poem is heart wrenching, there is also something dark and sinister lingering below the surface. The black bird seems evil and devilish somehow, and the narrator concurs when he shrieks, "'Prophet!' said I, 'thing of evil!--prophet still, if bird or devil!'" (Poe). Why does a "thing of evil" bring memories to the narrator? What is the background of the pair of lovers? It is easy to see the narrator is lonely, but why is he so tormented? There is something missing in the equation here, and whatever it is seems sinister and foreboding. Poe uses this dark underbelly of life in many of his works, leaving the reader with a sense of fear and horror that linger. Lenore is a device to add depth and emotion to the poem, but as she dwells with "the angels" the reader must wonder just what happened to her, and what the narrator had to do with it. There is more than simply longing and grief in the poem, there is something darker that dwells in the very souls of so many of us. Poe saw the world darkly, and that is evident in this poem and many of his other works. Lenore is a sexual and sensual device, but she is certainly not the only device. The dark, haunting quality of the poem is another device that helps create outstanding and dramatic art."
