Belle: He's no monster, Gaston. You are!
Ok, so I'm not going to lie most of my friends have been doing blogs lately and the only reason I'm doing it is because they are, and it helps me express some thins that I would never otherwise tell people in real life! One thing that I have been dying to get off my mind lately are the similarities between Beauty and the Beast and Twilight.

Starting with the NAMES!
Bella and Belle!
The meaning of the name Belle is Beauty.
The origin of the name Belle is French. (Straight from Babynames.com)

The meaning of the name Bella is Beautiful.
The origin of the name Bella is Italian. (Also from Babynames.com)

Also they both have brown hair, brown eyes, and they both love to read books.
Then theres the oh-so-wonderful Cullen House and the Enchanted Castle.
"Once upon a time, in a faraway land, A young Prince lived in a shining castle." - Beauty and the Beast Prolouge
"I don't know what I had expected, but it definitely wasn't this. This house was timeless, graceful, and probably a hundred years old. It was painted a soft, faded white, three stories tall, rectangular and well proportioned. The windows and doors were either part of the original structure or a perfect restoration...The inside was even more surprising, less predictable, than the exterior. It was very bright, very open and very large. This must have originally been several rooms, but the walls had been removed from most the floor to create a wide open space. The back, south-facing wall had been entirely replaced with glass, and beyond the shade of the cedars, the lawn stretched bare to a wide river. A massive curving staircase dominated the west side of the room. The walls, high-beamed ceiling, the wooden floors, and the thick carpets
were all varying shades of white." - Twilight, Bella Swan
were all varying shades of white." - Twilight, Bella SwanThey may not look similar but the whole premise is the same. Just like how you can never really tell the difference between Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty's castle, well except the flags.
Then there's the small town, that's extremely predictible, with the same people. And both the girl's live with their father's in town. At some point neither of the fathers like the guy (or beast) Also they are being "stalked courted" by a local guy as well.

(Look at that hair man it's like eerie).
Then there's how Edward is a "prince" who thinks he's a beast but Beast is actually a beast who's a Prince but technicalities.Then there's of course the ending where they become the same "species" (I guess I don't really know how to put it).
*SPOILER*






never thought of that. very interesting. but i still love twilight<3333 edward cullen is my future husband and i am a vampire lol.

ReplyDeletelol I like that venn diagram idea
ReplyDeleteInterestinggggggg, I like it
ReplyDeleteBeauty and the Beast is still my fav, TWILIGHT SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
ReplyDeleteever notice it is also like romeo and juliet, as new moon describes. Jacob is Paris because when Edward (Romeo) is gone he moves in on Bella (Juliet) and he falls in love with her but she doesn't love him back. And what happens in new moon is soo very close to what happenes in Romeo and Juliet. Romeo thinks Juliet is dead so he kills himself. Edward thought Bella was dead and he attempts. Both ways she wasnt really dead, except in Romeo and Juliet when she kills herself when she finds Romeo dead.
ReplyDeletelol, i seriously didn't know what the "beast's" name really is either!!, but ive been told it's Adam??? whether that's true or not, idk, but i'm going with it LOL!!
ReplyDeleteanyway, i was kinda thinking the same THING!!! with the similarities of Beauty and the Beast and Twilight!!!
