"The Beauty and the Beast"

In the story "The Beauty and the Beast" the theme is not to judge someone by how they look.  People always tell me not to judge a book by its cover.  For example someone might look mean but turn out to be nice and sweet.  Also someone that looks nice might be mean to everyone.  In the story the Beast was mean because everyone was mean to him. All the Beast needed was for someone to love and understand him.  Love and affection is something that everyone needs.  Another theme in this story is that family is first.  The main character did everything to save her dad.  We should do everything for our family no matter what.
