Original TaleBeauty and the

Beast

The original telling of Beauty and Beast cast Belle as the perfect woman, she did what she was supposed to do and she was gorgeous.

Original TaleBeauty and the

Beast

"Belle's gusty . . . She's not a damsel in distress. She can save herself, thank you very much!"

Susan Egan

Beauty lies within a person rather than in a person’s outside appearance.

"Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart"

Conclusion • Roles of women have changed drastically • Were fragile beings that were expected to live at a certain

standard of perfection• After WWII the image of women changed into a more independent

figure• Belle is a role model for girls today showing them that if they are

strong they can find success even though they are flawed.

How can we help Belle’s character become a role model in society today?
