The Picture Palace Beauty and the Beast Contest Essay 5
Ron Koslow took many key constructs of the traditional Beauty and the Beast
fairy tale, such as the Beauty (Catherine) as hero(ine) or protagonist
undertaking a series of challenges, a vision quest, that alters her
perceptions and redefines her life; the Beast (Vincent) as the catalyst who
drives the story and provides the focus for challenges and changes; and a
duality of existence symbolized by both, who, through their shared destiny
and transformations, become something far greater than they were. To this he creatively added his own unique attributes and retold the beautiful story, once again fulfilling the undeniable modern need for ancient myth; and in touching our hearts so deeply, he invited us to become a part of that extraordinary world and tradition.
