In Greek story "Cupid and Psyche" and de Beaumont's "Beauty and the Beast", female protagonists Psyche and Beauty will not cause the anger of others by their cause. Since the goddess of Venus is the beauty of man, she basically marries a beast. In another version, her father "steals" one of his roses, so beauty was declared forever to live in Beast Castle. In both versions, the fate of a woman is determined not by herself but by others. In both versions, the sisters of Psyche and Beauty also cause conflicts in relation to beasts. Psychedel's sister persuaded her husband secretly creeping under the light of the candle and decided whether he was absolutely a beast or not. As a punishment, the soul was forced to prove her value to Venus by expelling it from the heavenly temple and completing the tasks that were almost impossible to achieve. This caused the beast to die with self-starvation brought about by his broken heart.
