 Beauty and the Beast: General Background with Links
The first version of Beauty appears in 1740 written by Madame Gabrielle de Villeneuve as La belle et bete.
A third version, edited by Andrew Lang, appeared in the Blue Fairy Book in 1889 which is a blend of the two, but turns the focus more onto self-determinism and spiritual growth as Beauty is caught between the conflict of childhood and adulthood, love for her father and her future spouse.
The introduction of the story though is disturbing in both versions, as Beauty is presented as the only diligent and uncomplaining member of the family when it lands in the farmer's rut.
