Beauty+and+the+Beast




 * Turkish Version:**

The Turkish version of The Beauty and the Beast is referred to as __The Princess and the Pig__. The father in the story is called a padishah, or king. He is searching for gifts for his daughters and finds the worldly goods of fruit for his elder sisters but can’t find anything for his youngest daughter. The padishah’s carriage gets stuck in the mud when he meets a pig who is the Beast in this story. This pig is the only one that is able to free the padishah from the mud so they come to a deal that the pig will receive the father’s youngest as his bride if he frees the father and his carriage from the mud. The padishah agrees to the deal and tries to trick the pig into giving him somebody else but fails. So the pig gets his youngest daughter and through her goodness she accepts the bad circumstances she is forced into. Luckily for the youngest daughter, she went to sleep one night and her surroundings were turned into great luxury and the pig turns into a handsome young man.

 * Beauty embroidering: showed how the woman does the housework
 * Men have more power than women: the Beast initially won't let Beauty leave the castle even when her dad was dying
 * Looks: at first Beauty didn't want to marry the Beast because he was ugly (not a Prince Charming). When she said would marry him, he turned into a Prince Charming.
