In the ending of Jean Cocteau’s "Beauty and the Beast", the beast suddenly dies. When Afnan steals the treasure, he is shot to death and turned into a beast. Then the beast is resurrected and turned into A prince who looks exactly like Afnan. In this bizarre ending, the male protagonist actually has three appearances at the same time, one is a beast, the other is Afnan, who is in love with Belle's friend, and the last is Afnan, who has the identity of a prince. These three images seem to satisfy the imagination of the heroine Belle, a powerful beast, although mighty, but lonely waiting for help. A man with a handsome appearance, but not smart enough and lacking knowledge. A prince with a powerful background. In fact, she also loves these three images at the same time, or she maps three kinds of anims (male characteristics in women, as opposed to anima). Then the three imagined anims of the heroine Belle may be: a powerful beast, a beautiful lover, and a man with secular power. This imaginary animus is understood as a compensatory functional complex of external personality-they behave as if they are internal personality, and they exhibit some characteristics that are lacking in the externally manifested conscious personality. From this perspective, because everyone is easily affected by the experience of representatives of the other gender. When many female anims coexist in the unconsciousness of a woman, it causes women’s emotions to often be in a strange numbness and paralysis, and tempts them to break away from the real men and weave themselves. This cocoon of illusory thoughts may cause women to feel insecurities and sadness that everything is empty. The three faces of the male protagonist in the movie seem to be trying to explain this kind of problem. Although the movie is still a fairy tale ending, when the heroine looks at the man with confusion, it seems to cast an unusual shadow. She said that I think you seem a little strange, you are a little like a friend of mine. The new face of the prince was something she hadn't expected. She even missed the beast a bit, and suspected the prince who resembled Avnan. But soon she was addicted to the love affair of this one and three at the same time. And this happy ending thus planted a seed of insecurity. It seems that when Belle and the prince go to another country, there will be some unexpected potential crises from time to time.
