The theme of Beauty and the Beast is that beauty is not on the outside of a person but what is inside of him. By this I mean, that the behavior of a person and his/her personality is far more important than his/her looks.
In the story the young prince had been rude to a stranger. He had been very handsome and vain. He was not a good person. His outward appearance did not lend to who he really was inside. He is changed into a beast until he can find someone to love him for himself.
Beauty is a beautiful young woman. The town hunk loves her for her beauty but does not care for her intellectual nature. He can only see what is outside and not what is inside her.
When Beauty and the Beast come together under the circumstance of Beauty having to stay with the beast in exchange for her father, she begins to see the gentle nature and goodness inside the beast. He beings to see her intellectual abilities and her need to read. They have discovered each others true inner self.
