美女与野兽读后感英文汇集(8)

Not exactly a feminist treatise, the story features Beauty, the archetypal virgin, who is willing to sacrifice herself for her family. Loved by all, she is so pure that when faced with the worst monster known to mankind she is able to see far beyond the surface and recognize "The Beast" to be as pure and good as she is. Her love and faith transforms him from monster into man, and literally leads him from the land of the dead into the land of the living.
The Beast, a blending of all male archetypes, appeals universally to women in all cultures and societies. He is more than a man. (And has an animal-like virility that must be tamed!) Youve heard about "taming the wild beast;" well, this is where the term best applies. In Beauty and The Beast tales, the heroine is faced with a tremendous challenge, but in turn, is given the ultimate reward sexually.
