What does it mean to be human?
This story distorts reality, to make it more obvious.
Mr. Lyon represents the difficulties of being a young man and coming to terms with his masculinity.
Beauty represents a young girl who is disgusted by this young man/beast. They could be her reactions to his otherness and the fundamental differences between men and women.
Is Angela Carter suggesting that she believes men are also horrified by their own violent potential/wildness? How does culture contain this?
An entire fairy tale may only represent 10 minutes of real life.
