The Picture Palace
Beauty and the Beast
Contest Essay 3

I have trouble thinking of the TV Beauty and the Beast as a myth. Certainly Vincent has mythical qualities, but he's so utterly and perfectly real that I can't see him that way. I find his love for Catherine, and hers for him, transcendant, but not mythical, either. This story transports me, dazzles me, affects me deeply. Like Rilke's unicorn, I believe in it. And if I believe, it must be real, mustn't it? And if it's real, how can it be a myth?
