Disney Princess Article: Cinderella & the Beast: In a Contrast

posted by deedragongirl

Cinderella.

Hi guys, I had recently watch a video about the enchantress. I actually notice that these 2 characters have a number of similarities with each other.

Cinderella

In the 2015 live-action reboot, Cinderella's kindness actually prove to the fairy godmother by rewarding. Ella is considered an outcast with her stepmother and stepsister, and she also share some similarities with Belle considering that the latter originally was going to have 2 sisters who are bullies too in the movie! Secondly, the magic spell will only work till midnight, thus setting a time limit for Cinderella.

The Beast

Since he was a problematic child who is very spoilt, the enchantress must have some magic up her sleeves and turns him into a beast. The reason why I labelled Cinderella and the Beast are in a contrast to one another, is because Cinderella has some kindness since her childhood and the beast is more of a spoilt brat. Ironically, the same fairy godmother!
Like Cinderella, the enchantress sets a time limit for the beast until his 21st birthday.

Contrast or Similarities?

So, I wrote as much as I can about these 2 characters, what do you think?

Cousin to Cinderella?

lily_grace Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast take place in two very different time periods so they cannot be cousins. Remember that in the third BATB, Belle is reading the Cinderella story to the Beast.
