It's so bittersweet and beautiful. It does have a happier ending than if she really did die. I thought it was so wonderful that she sacrificed herself for love. So sweet and romantic! She is someone that I could look up to.<br /><br />I've noticed that too! At least one of the family members in most fairytales are unkind! (Fathers, stepmothers, sisters, stepsisters...etc.) Although the version I read of Beauty and the Beast, her father really didn't have a choice; so I think he was more a victim of circumstances than cruel.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00765736396980108930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709242913162651181.post-5655917698369865382011-03-01T03:15:55.773-08:002011-03-01T03:15:55.773-08:00You'd never believe it, but Beauty and the Bea...You'd never believe it, but Beauty and the Beast is my favourite fairytale, too! <br /><br />It's been years since I read The Little Mermaid - I mostly just remember it being very sad! I should try reading it again sometime. I've read a few other Hans Christian Anderson fairytales recently, and really enjoyed them.<br /><br />That stained glass window is gorgeous!<br /><br />Oh, BTW - I was reading a couple of fairytales the other day (Beauty and the Beast and Rumpelstiltskin) and one thing that struck was what jerks both of the heroines' fathers were! Is this a trend in fairytales? I should investigate. . .The Editrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184804847476554759noreply@blogger.com
