What is the resolution in Beauty and the Beast?

Answer 1

In the context of storytelling, the resolution in "Beauty and the Beast" refers to the conclusion or outcome of the main conflict in the narrative. In this classic fairy tale, the resolution occurs when the Beast is transformed back into a handsome prince through the power of true love, specifically Belle's love for him. This transformation signifies the ultimate resolution of the central conflict in the story, which is the Beast's curse and the redemption of his character.

Answer 2

If you're talking about the actual fairy tale (as opposed to the Disney film) It varies from version to version but usually what happens is this:

After spending time with the Beast, Beauty (for various reasons depending on what version you're reading) asks to return to her family for a visit. The Beast agrees but tells her that she must return in a certain amount of time or else he will die. Beauty goes home and either forgets her promise or is persuaded by her family to stay a little while longer. Something (usually a dream) alerts Beauty to the fact that she needs to return to the castle. When she does she finds the Beast dying and, overcome with emotion begins crying and says that he can't die because she loves him and/or wants to marry him. With that the Beast is revived, turns back into a handsome prince, and they live happily ever after.

If you're referring to the Disney film:

Belle returns to the castle just as Gaston is about to kill the Beast. Upon seeing Belle and realizing that she cares enough about him to return, the Beast fights Gaston and wins. Climbing up to the balcony Belle is on they have a heartfelt moment before Gaston stabs the Beast in the side. The Beast dies and Belle says "I love you" just as the last petal falls from the enchanted rose. The Beast turns back into a human and comes back to life. All the servants become human as well and Belle and the Prince live happily ever after.
