The Real Beast

What if Beauty and the Beast’s roles were switched – Beauty is the Beast and the Beast is the human?

This prompt challenges writers to think outside the typical gender roles and power dynamics present in traditional fairy tales. What would their courtship look like? Would the Beast still fall in love with Beauty, even though she’s the “monster”? This prompt essentially is an engaging way to tackle reverse roleplaying and examine gender stereotypes and bias in fairy tales.
