The 20th-century literary versions of this tale closely follow the original, but they divide into
two categories-those set in a magic reality, dwelling on the opulence of the palace and
focusing on the Beast's physical transformation, and those set in the modern world, keeping
the original pattern motifs but inserting contemporary values and fosusing on the Beast's
emotional transformation.
