Conclusion The meaning of such great fairy

tale is that,"[Beauty] comes to see that under

[the beast's] physical ugliness there is

something that is really very beautiful but it takes perception.  It's a way of saying you've got to

like the world even if it doesn't look so beautiful [at] first."
