I respect everyone’s interpretations of Beauty and the Beast but I feel like for me personally “a person who behaves badly when angry and is incompetent at relationships learns better skills through hard work and the patience and firm boundaries of someone who loves them” is an Important Narrative and I wish it would not be equated with abuse

“I must keep quiet for a little space and then walk very slowly along that bright sound of pain, towards that blue, blue wave. What bliss there is in blueness. I never know how blue blueness could be…”

— Vladimir Nabokov, from Laughter in the Dark (1938)
