Beauty and the Beast was originally a twisted tale
Beauty and the Beast was based on a French author's story published in 1740 that aimed to romanticize arranged marriages. In the story, a wealthy family with six children loses all its riches. Through certain events, one of the girls—Beauty, the youngest—is promised to the Beast in an arranged marriage, which is not very romantic at all.
The story ends happily, the same way it does as it is known now, where Beauty finally agrees to marry the Beast, and Prince Charming is revealed.
