The Beast is very generous. He is ready to give anything to the person he loves even if it brings misery and pain to himself. He is also patient; though Beauty refuses to marry him, he keeps asking her to do it.
Beauty’s sisters care more about luxury than their family. They are frivolous and have no idea what the true love means. They value dresses more than anything in the world. It will teach children that money is less important than dignity.
The merchant cannot say “no” to his daughters, and it is a problem because he spoils them too much. He is kind, caring, and trustworthy. Thus, children may understand why their parents forbid them some things.
The key idea of the book is that a person’s soul is more significant than his or her appearance. Everyone should learn how to distinguish one’s real nature from the way a person looks. The story will be very interesting for children. Firstly, it is kind and teaches people to be kind as well. It explains that a kind person receives a reward. Secondly, children will be fond of the book, because it contains fiction. Girls will probably like the story more than boys, because it is a love story with a happy ending. A girl may imagine that she is Beauty and learn that beautiful girls should not judge by appearance when they choose their mates.
