I love the myth of Psyche, even if it is one of those ones where I want to reach into the book and give her a good whack upside the head. Listen girl, he SAID not to look at him, okay? And seriously if you can't tell a horrible monster by touch then I don't think you're touching him enough. Hee.

Not just Beauty and the Beast but also East of the Sun and West of the Moon and to some extent even something like Bluebeard shares that basic idea. :)
