("Never was a tale of more woe ...") He asks her to read it again, and she says for him to read it to her; at this point, it becomes clear he has trouble reading because, as he says, it has been a long time. Belle offers to help him, and he starts off at the beginning of the play ("Two households" -- he mispronounces two, and she gently corrects him).<br /><br />That restored Romeo and Juliet reference actually makes sense, too, when you consider there is a "balcony" scene at the end of the film, with Beast climbing to Belle (just before he is stabbed).Padgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613931377214886333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581099872724683650.post-44914454113409141442011-08-17T09:10:30.489-05:002011-08-17T09:10:30.489-05:00That is so crazy!

Parliament!") Only in my house it's "Shakespeare, kids! Macbeth!"Duane Morinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569611828708601563noreply@blogger.com
