After studying vocabulary about fairy tales you now know who 'Sleeping Beauty' and 'Beauty and the Beast' are. Heroines are usually presented as beautiful women in fairy tales and villains are ugly or not beautiful on the inside, but how do we know that someone or something is beautiful? Do 'Inner Beauty' and 'Outer Beauty' have to go hand in hand? Who decides what the standards of beauty have to be like?
My only intention is to make you think about these two concepts of beauty and the saying 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder' (whose literal meaning is 'the perception of beauty is subjective').
I leave you two links on quotes about beauty for you to read and say which one(s) you like most and why. Do you think that most people refer to inner beauty or outer beauty as the most important thing in their quotes? Express your opinion!
