Cinderella” by Perrault and “Beauty and the Beast” by Made de Beaumonde appear to tell quite similar stories. Each story features a beautiful heroine who has just one father, is disliked by her siblings and is attracted to an aristocracy by her
excellent looks, whom she eventually marries. Each narrative appears to have a recurring moral or lesson to be learned.
He married Beauty and lived with her for many years, and their happiness as it was founded on virtue was complete, DeBeaumont writes of Beast at the end of her story. Young women, in the gaining of a heart, graciousness is more
significant than a beautiful hairdo, Perrault writes in the first moral appended to Cinderella. Then he adds a second moral to his story, this time with a different emphasis: “even these[intelligence, courage, good breeding, and common sense]
may fail to bring you success if you don’t have the blessing of a godfather or godmother.” Who you know is more essential than who you are, Perrault seemed to be arguing. You have to be fortunate.”
