On request to my love-struck friend. As the story goes......The Beast is confined to the castle along with his servants who are also turned into household items who can talk and walk....Years pass by and the Beast is totally convinced, that nobody could love such a hideous and monstrous beast.
After a period of ten years, a beautiful young girl named Belle (French for beautiful) comes to live in the village along with her eccentric father, Maurice. She is kinda disliked for her preference for reading books and constantly wooed by a local hero, Gaston. Cutting the story short, Belle's father takes refuge in the Beast's castle after he gets lost while traveling back from a fair. As expected, the Beast locks him up in a dungeon and Maurice's horse returns back to Belle. Sensing danger, Belle sets off to seek her father and ends up as the Beast's prisoner in exchange for her father's release.
Well, sparks don't fly and the Beast finds it extremely difficult to be GENTLE and COURTEOUS to Belle. On the other hand, Belle is very STUBBORN and does not like to take orders from the Beast. On an occasion, where the Beast saves Belle from a pack of ravenous wolves that she sees him in a different light. This is my favorite part, because only after she notices some amount of tenderness in him that she mellows. And the fact, that the beast had a huge collection of books sets the ball rolling! They become friends and their relationship starts to grow. Both realize they have feelings for each other which is beautifully depicted in the song, 'Beauty and the Beast'.
Belle begins to get homesick and desires to meet her sick father( she sees her father through the magic mirror), the Beast already in love, lets her go completely aware that this would ruin his chances of being human again. At last!! He learns to love SELFLESSLY. Love is not about getting and having the person for oneself, its basically about SACRIFICE and it's painful. Ouch! The Beast knew this so well by now....
So dear friend, have I written enough to whet your appetite? Do watch the movie to know what happened next......
