What are be most attractive things for women? money, power, the handsome face, or the guy who loves them gives all his best to the women? In the story "Beauty and the Beast", there were different reasons that the Beauty felt in-love with the "Beast" in different version, and some of the versions the love between the paired lovers lasted forever and some versions it doesn't.
In Beaumont's "Beauty and the Beast", the Beasty tried all he might to satisfy Beauty's wishes, and he eventually won Beauty's heart and reached their happy-ending; in this kind nature, the Beauty got touched by Beast's love and care toward Beauty. In "The Pig King" and "The Frog King, or Iron Heinrich", the different "material" was used to attract women's heart; in these two versions, the man figures was apeared very ugly in the begining of the story, but when they took off their "masks" and showed the real face, their handsome face attracted the women's heart who hated those man figures in the begining of the story, and the handsome face became the key element that led those two pairs lover a happy ending. Beside the happy endings there also some examples that show the sad endings, such as the versions of "Urashima the Fisherman" and "The Swan Maiden"; the paired lovers in these two versions were been togethered for a while, but after the men did something wrong through the stories (one in "Urashima the Fisherman" broke his promise, and one in "The Swan Maiden" used a wrong strategy to bring his "wife" home), both of these wrong actions led their wives to leave them and made them stay lonely for the rest of their lives.
