I'm actually working on writing my own version of Beauty and the Beast (I'm an aspiring writer). But with a twist. Have you heard of the cliche of Good Boy vs Bad Boy? it was used the Disney B&B version, especially in Twilight. In my version, the Beauty has two foster brothers who are lusting after her; Foster brother 1 is macho and alluring, but aggressive and egotistical. Foster Brother 2 is sophisticated and genteel, but dull and self-interested. The Beast embodies both Desire and Compassion. I'm using the same theme on my Cinderella version, where the Stepsisters are an evil version of the Madonna-Whore Dichotomy; Stepsister 1 is a cynical and callous pervert, Stepsister 2 is a judgmental and holier-than-thou puritan. The Cinderella embodies both sensuality and kindness.
This is simply beautiful.

Good luck to you in your writing! I haven't heard it called "Good boy vs. bad boy" but I'm familiar with the concept
