Mr. Lyon
The Courtship of Mr Lyon. This story follows the general, and I mean general, outline of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. The Bloody Chamber in it entirety takes children’s fairy tails and transforms them into the adults version. Figurative language is bountiful throughout the novel as familiar tales are twisted into clever and deceitful untold tales that hold, for the most part, reality. If I were to do the same, I would set the story in a college scene where two fraternity boys are fighting for the heart of the best girl on campus. One of the men represents a respected and gentlemanly fraternity while the other represents a masculinely macho fraternity. The two go out it until one has triumphed. I like this possible twist because it gives a very modern transformation to the tale. The major question at hand is, what wins over a woman’s heart?
