Recommended: Beauty and the beast contrast

The book “A Court of Thorns and Roses” is a boring story. I actually wanted to continue reading to see if anything interesting would happen but to no avail. The story is about Feyre, a mortal, who hunts for her poor family. She kills a fairy while hunting for food one day, which in this story fairies are the dominate species, and is forced to live in the kingdom of because of a treaty, leaving her family behind. I thought this was interesting, then i found out this book is actually retelling of the classic Beauty and The Beast, so of course i was intrigued. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite classic fairytale. Well, i was disappointed, this book felt like a retelling of cinderella if anything. Feyre’s family is very cruel to her. Feyre is forced to hunt in order to keep her family alive and fed. Her two sisters are freeloaders who will eat the meal feyre caught then use the money she earned from selling the animal 's pelt for items such as new shoes while Feyres’s is covered in holes. So when Tamlin takes her from her family he is more of a prince than a beast. He allows Feyre to literally eat anything, sleep anywhere, and even saves her from danger when she …show more content…

Tamlin is more of a tamed dog than a beast. Tamlin wearing a mask for all eternity is hardly a curse compared to the Beast from Beauty and The Beast, where the man is turned into a furry monster with sharp claws in a world full of humans, Tamlin is described to be a tan

Alain De Crency: Summary

267 Words | 2 Pages

I had this book for a couple years but only started reading it a couple of weeks ago without any expectation. The story starts with a young maiden (Edyt) standing over her dying father as the Norman invaders entered the gates of their castle. Edyt then hid in plain side as one of the maids to avoid marriage with the Norman Lord (Alain De Crency) - Rufus, the king of England had promised her as a bride to him. It was fascinating to see how she attempted to protect Alain while pretending to be one of the maids in the castle. Even after her identity was revealed, new elements were introduced to keep me interested.

Salt And Storm Analysis

549 Words | 3 Pages

What I didn’t really like about it, was the lack of development for their relationship. To me, it seemed that she hated his guts, then boom! He says he is able to break her mother’s curse which makes her already attracted to him. I believe the author could’ve had the two slowly open up to each other, and maybe include a few awkward moments that shows the development of their love for each other. Despite the minor setback, I could not contain my excitement and muffled my squeals with a pillow.

Consequences In The Book Harmless

1425 Words | 6 Pages

The themes of the novel elucidate the girl's ability to lie, which is similar to my own, by means of me also lying to my parents about where I am, what I’m doing, and what happened; Although my lying is often white and unharmful, it’s still lying similar to that of Anna, Emma, and Mariah. The girls ended up feeling awful for what they’ve done and hopefully will learn from their mistakes. This opinion is supported by Kirkus Reviews which states, “they all wish they’d just told the truth” (“Review”). Overall, this book held great value to me as it showed me the harms and consequences of deceiving people, with the girls being expelled from school and losing various

Fairy Tale Vs. Perrault's The Sleeping Beauty In The Wood

1025 Words | 5 Pages

Atwood began the story as the female lead being beautiful, but changed her to being average looking, and changes the stereotypical evil stepmother to an evil stepfather. On the contrary, Perrault follows the basic generic conventions of fairy tales by having the prince marry the beautiful princess and writes the main antagonists as two older women. Perrault uses his story to frame the prince as the hero who saves the sleeping princess and her kingdom, and later saves his family from his evil cannibalistic mother. Perrault’s story has more of a magical aspect than Atwood’s since he includes fairies and curses in his story. Perrault’s story offers an escape from the trials and

Beauty And The Beast Analysis

The Beauty and the Beast fairy tales explore in various ways the relationship between human civilization and propriety on one hand and wildness and ostracism on the other hand. While the canonical western version of Beauty and the Beast idealizes civilization and demonstrates the taming influence of Beauty’s duty, self-sacrifice, and virtue, a deeper look at the tale and some of its alternative versions reveals an equally compelling glorification of the wilder side of human nature: Beauty’s acceptance of Beast represents the necessary integration of the grittier, uglier aspects of humanity in order to achieve a fully authentic human experience.
