Good and Bad Choices

• Helpless people or creatures to be kind to• Opportunities to tell the truth or lie, cheat or be

honest; betray the innocent• A related idea: One’s inside matches one’s

outside (a beautiful nature manifests itself in a beautiful exterior, an attractive appearance; an ugly nature shows itself in an ugly appearance)

• If someone’s inside and outside are at odds, by the end of the tale the two are reconciled -“Beauty and the Beast”

• Notice the elemental justice of the tales
