As Sheldon says, "[Beauty] comes to see that under [the beast's] physical ugliness there is something that is really very beautiful but it takes perception. It's a way of saying you've got to like the world even if it doesn't look so beautiful [at] first (qutd. in Abel)." We see this message portrayed when Beauty/Belle falls in love with the beast. Although Beauty/Belle came to realize their love for the beast a little late, they both learned to love him for him, and not for what is on the outer surface. Like the cliché quote says, “you don’t know what you have until it is gone” and that is exactly right. Beauty/Belle had not realized the beast’s love and their love for him in return until he was almost gone. But in the end, because they dug deeper, they found the beast’s true beauty when no one else
