Beauty And The Beast
Prince
Adam was cursed to a beast form by Enchantress who saw no love in his arrogant
heart for others. The one way he could break the spell was to learn to love
another and earn her love in return before the last petal from his enchanted
rose fell, which would bloom until his twenty-first birthday. But who could
ever learn to love a beast? Ten years later, Maurice, an inventor from a nearby
village, becomes lost in the woods and seeks shelter in the Beast's castle, the Beast imprisons him for trespassing. His
daughter Belle, a bookworm who dreams of life outside her provincial village,
finds him trapped in the castle and offers her place in his stead. The Beast excepts with a promise she'll remain in the castle forever.
In the beginning Belle views him as nothing more than a monster, he views her
as difficult and stubborn. But the two soon taste the bitter-sweetness of
finding you can change and learning you were wrong.
