Disney Villains : The Beast Within : A Tale of Beauty's Prince

<p><strong>The tale is as old as time:</strong></p> <ul> <li>A cruel prince is transformed into a beast.</li> <li>A lovely maiden comes into this monster's life.</li> <li>He is transformed by her compassion and the love he feels for her in return.</li> <li>The two live happily ever after.</li> </ul> <p>But any tale especially one as storied as <em>Beauty and the Beast's</em> has been told many different times and in many different ways.</p> <p>No matter which version one hears the nagging question remains: What was it that transformed the prince into the beast we are introduced to?</p> <p>This is one version pulled from the many passed down through the ages. It's a story of vanity and arrogance of love and hatred of beastliness and of course of beauty.</p>
