[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper comparing the stories of “Psyche and Cupid” and “Beauty and the Beast”. Several elements are similar to the storylines of the myth “Psyche and Cupid” and the folk tale “Beauty and the Beast”. Both female heroines in the stories must overcome hardships, travel and separation from their families in order to be with the ones they love who are not as they appear to be. Psyche believes her husband to be human only to find out he is a winged God. Bella believes the Beast to be a beast until it is revealed he is actually human. Both heroines end up loving the “beasts” despite their appearances and both end up having to experience transformations in order to be with the men they love: Psyche becomes a winged God to be with Cupid and the Beast becomes a man to be with Bella (Beauty).
