Setting and Point of View of "Beauty and The Beast"

Setting:  In "Beauty and The Beast", the setting first takes place at Beauty's wonderful place, called home.  The author describes it as a place where everyone would enjoy to stay.  Then things start to turn around.  The father has lost a lot of things, like his fortune, and now they have to leave their home.  They are now living in a small country house, not far away from town.  Beauty, however, told herself that if she kept on crying, it wouldn't make things better, so she stopped and sucked it up like a normal person would.  But her other 'lovely' sisters kept crying away like little babies.  And now it brings up to the Beast's castle.  This is where many things happen.  The Beast makes a deal with the father, Beauty comes to live with the beast, not liking him, then as the story goes, she seems to now have fallen in love with the Beast, and he changes into a human, and they live happily ever after.

Point of View:  Easy enough, just like every other story, but the narrator is the one that is telling us the story.  For example, if Beauty was the one that was basically telling us the story instead of getting the full effect of the Beast, then Beauty would not have fallen in love with the Beast.  Usually it is love at first sight with some people, but the Beast made her realize that he isn't a Beast after all, he is a caring person.
