    Abstract

    This paper describes the connection between romance novels and the fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast."

The findings support previous research, which argues romances provide relief from the complexities of everyday life, and further shows how romances and fantasy help the reader in the same way Bettelheim argues fairy tales help children
