The Beast was the best part of Beauty and the Beast — Storica

The version everyone remembers is the edited one. The 1740 original is a novella written, more or less literally, to prepare a young woman to be handed to a frightening older stranger. Camille Paglia and Judith Butler are usually treated as enemies. On the ending of this story they agree, and what they agree on is that it is a lie.
