Beast Vs. the beast

What kind creature would come up to your mind when someone difined someone else with the word "beast"? Normally, we would think the beast is the creature that with ugly appearance, evil-mind, doing the creepy things, and both the inner heart and outter configuration of a "beast" should be bad.

Beast in the "Beauty and the Beast" do received a ugly and most hateful outter appearance, but after we observed Beast in the story for a little more, he is not as bad as we thought about him. He just simply have the bad appearance, but the his heart and actions were very graceful, and even the most people who have the human-look can't do the samething as he did; such as: he sent money to the father, and helped Beauty to accomplish her wishes. So, Beast doesn't contained the conditions that a real beast should have, therefore the word "beast" should not be used to define Beast.

All stories should have both protagnists and antagnists, and if we agreed with that Beast is not the bad guy in the story, then who should be the real "beast" in the story? For my personal opinion, I think the beast in this story should be two sisters of Beauty. The reason that I said that is because two sisters contained such evil-spirits; they were not just jealous at Beauty, but also once in the story, they set a trap to kill Beauty (they asked Beauty to stay home with their father for little longer so Beast would eat Beauty up).

So, the definition for "beast" should be just upon on one's outter appearance, but it is more important upon to one's heart; if a person who has such evil mind, then on matter how pretty that person is, he or she has no doubt is the person that should be defined as the "beast" or "monster".
