With the live-action musical reboot just around the corner, I revisit Disney's treasured adaptation of the traditional French fairy tale and examine its changes through a comparative and feminist lens (while singing along at the top of my lungs).

***FREE STORY***Antoine, his daughters Marthe, Marie and Beauty must leave fashionable Paris for rural Avon, in the shadow of enchanted forêt de Fontainebleau. News from Paris offers the family a glimmer of hope, until Antoine comes face to face with a ferocious Beast... Wattpad Reader Reviews: @nycgal38 I love the beginning! I'm thinking at this point it would make a wonderful bedtime story. It's so beautifully described! @thebeast86 This is so well written. I LOVE your writing style ❤❤❤ @AmandaUrie23 I love how in your version of beauty and the beast, you've given the beauty's sisters more character and made them more realistic as opposed to most accounts where the sisters are just bland and mean. I also like how you've given Belle a backstory. The best part in all of this is the historical accuracy, and the proper use of royal titles. It's my first time reading this and I'm so excited for what's to come! @MellifluousSkies This feels like a brand new story, as I am reading it, even though it is "a tale as old as time". Great story telling...I love the filling out you have done with such a classic tale, adding more background and feelings to really give the story a large presence. Brava! @random__thoughts I'm so glad that I found this! It's amazing and deserves way more attention! @mirabellaspencer I love love love ur book beauty and the beast. The way that u changed the story but yet kept it the same was amazing. @juliadarcy87 Omg Disney skipped the plan to eat her haha. @eldorado16 Love the first line! And impressed by how Beauty seems to bring out the best in everyone - except her sisters. @AmericanBeauty_y I effing love this story! I don't understand why it isn't more popular

We all know the story of Beauty and the Beast. This story follows the outline of the traditional story pretty well with some changes to make it seems more real, more intense, and not such a fairytale. There's a Mansion secluded in the thick forest south of town that Isabelle happened to run into one very stormy night. Denied help from the Master, but aided by the servants, she finds her life intertwined with theirs and there's nothing she can do to stop it. The Master is horrible - beastly. He's powerful, and manages to put Isabelle under a spell of his own. A story of two people learning about themselves by falling in love with the other. Here's my version of Beauty and the Beast.

A Retelling of the Fairy Tale: Beauty and the Beast.-- Rosalie yearns for new sights and adventure, but she's trapped on the French coast in a simple little village where she lives with her father, the inventor. She strives for some semblance of peace by evading the people, particularly one terribly incorrigible hunter. But when she comes face to face with the fabled monster of the woods, Rosalie is conflicted with the instinct to flee and the undeniable connection she feels for the beast. Eventually, she has to make a choice: Either she runs away from destiny, relegating herself to a mundane, boring life. Or, she gives up everything she's accumulated in her twenty years to seek out the adventure she'd always dreamed of.
