Some other modern retellings with examples. Also in the original versions of Beauty and the Beast, the Beast was very much a beast who killed in the forest and would return with blood on him. Some more modern examples of killers:
1)Edward Scissorhands (though understandable)
2)Don't read if you don't want to be spoiled [SPOILER] In Rebecca, Maxim killed his first wife [/SPOILER]
3) Twilight (Bella [Beauty anyone?]). Edward has killed several (who knows how many, but a lot) humans vigilante style in his past quite similar to Davis.
4) Mick from Moonlight. Another vampire (beast) who has killed several vigilante style. Several in his past and some even in his present.
5) Cole in Charmed. A half demon who kills for pleasure, but sometimes feels remorse. One of my favorite characters!!!
Anyway, that's just to name a few.Comment

I don't know if all those examples would count as "Beauty and the Beast" stories. IMO, Twilight isn't.
Also, I never claimed that Davis doesn't love Chloe just that Chloe doesn't love Davis.
Thirdly, the Beast killed animals in the forest, not people, right? There's a vast difference between killing an animal and killing a person, IMO.Comment

Actually it is unclear who the Beast killed. He surely wasn't very humane when he first became a Beast. He's not all innocent like the Disney version would want people to believe.
And I do believe that Chloe is in love with Davis. She just hasn't said it out loud. The cage scene said all IMO.Comment

Well, when it comes to Chloe's feelings we're going to have agree to disagree because no amount of debating will convince me that she does. However, future episodes of SV could show Chloe's feelings changing for Davis, or, as you would believe, confirming what she already felt.Comment

Well it is plainly obvious that Chloe does love Davis, does that mean she does not love Jimmy? No, I'm sure she does but you can be in love with more than one person, just one is usually stronger than another, and that is what is debatable with Chloe.
And like you said Autumn, the scene where he is in the kryptonite cage really said it all, I thought she really really cared about him until then, but no, she does love him, that's the sad thing about it all.Comment

Okay you want to call them Phantom of the Opera that's fine but I never saw that as B&tB really.
1)Edward Scissorhands (though understandable)
2)Don't read if you don't want to be spoiled [SPOILER] In Rebecca, Maxim killed his first wife [/SPOILER]
3) Twilight (Bella [Beauty anyone?]). Edward has killed several (who knows how many, but a lot) humans vigilante style in his past quite similar to Davis.

Is Angel and Buffy a B&tB story too? How about Dracula? sorry I think you are defining B&tB a little too loosely. B&tB isn't a catch all for someone loving someone who isn't exactly human.Last edited by borednow; 04-06-2009, 08:02 AM.Comment

Are those B&tB stories???

The Beauty and the Beast tale has been told in several ways since the second century. Several modern works as The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Phantom of the Opera, and King Kong do rely to some extent on the beauty-beast theme. It is not about following the most famous of the 18th century tale and certainly not the cartoon.
Beauty and the Beast is an archetype, not one specific tale.Last edited by Autumn; 04-06-2009, 03:54 PM.Comment

I have to agree that Chole loves Davis.
I also believe she loves Jimmy but her bond with Davis is stronger.
I saw the break up of Chimmy b/c I felt deep down she loved Davis more then Jimmy.
I have to be honest I like this couple too. I see how much Davis love Chole & Chole trying to do the good thing b/c she does love him too but also her struggle to protect Clark.Comment

Their feelings for each other are definitely helping keep the monster at bay. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if there was more to their connection as well beyond their feelings.
It's clear Davis loves Chloe, and that Chloe has feelings for Davis. I think Chloe's feelings will become clearer in Beast.
And yes, Chloe and Davis very much are a Beauty and the Beast tale, and the SV writers are going beyond the themes and actually using some exact moments from different versions of the fairy tale (first written down in the 18th century).Comment

Not to mention the blantant poster behind Chloe at the end of "Eternal" of "Bronte's Love Story".
I'm not sure if it was Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights but either one does have BaTB themes. Of people seeing he man as something dark and the woman loving him despite all of that. I would rather them be referring to Jane Eyre because the end they ended up together and the "monster" seemed to get redemption.
Anyway I think their connection is soooo a love connection. I really think that Chloe makes Davis feel human so that is what keeps the Beast at bay. I think the more human he feels the more he can stay in his human form.Last edited by chlo-el; 04-07-2009, 12:42 PM.Comment

I am completely onboard with the whole Davis and Chloe connection and for those of you using the argument that she is married. Rewatch the travesty that is "Stilletto" and Chloe, herself mentions her divorce...
Anyway, I am totally into Smallville for the Chlavis love. Smallville was getting tired to me and the Doomsday angle is what drew me back to the show. Chlavis is what keeps me watching... There is definitely a love connection between them.Comment
