My husband and I were having a conversation about how helpless most of the heroines in fairytales are. Usually there is a lovely (of course) damsel who is rescued from her tormentor by a handsome hero who marries her as his prize. I made the comment that at least beauty, in beauty and the beast, was a fairly brave and spunky young girl. My husband just snorted and said she was just a captive suffering from stockholm's syndrom. What do you think?
