Analysis of The Story of Beauty and the Beast and Lutung

Kasarung

Here are the similarities and differences to the karmic value contained in both stories;

 A loving father

A father should love his child without discriminating between one another and willing to sacrifice for
the happiness of the child. In that jam, a father must be wise in acting and making a decision. Thus it
will cause the child's affection for the sincere father without expecting anything in return. As in the
story of the rough.

"Prabu Tapa Agung has thought carefully that to continue his leadership he will appoint Purbasari.
The prabu has observed for decades that purbasari is the most deserving figure to replace him, not
Purbararang his eldest son. The thought of this wise prabu, because of the poor nature and behavior of
his firstborn. Prabu Tapa Agung is worried that if Purbararang becomes queen then the peace and
peace of people's lives will be disturbed and even become damaged by purbararng leadership which
has a very bad nature."

From the above quote it can be seen that Prabu Tapa Agung was a wise father. She didn't think that
the first child should be queen. But he saw his son's behavior.

While in the fairy tale Beauty and The Beast the figure of the father is described as follows

"Once it was a merchant who had three beautiful daughters named, Pretty, Sweety, and Beauty. One
day, when the merchant was about to leave for the market, his three daughters asked for something
when he returned. Pretty asks her to buy her a pretty dress, Sweety asks for a pearl necklace but
Beauty just wants a rose.

Similarity: Both stories tell of a wise father who loves his daughters without discriminating.

Difference: In the story lutung Kasarung depicted the figure of the father and king who has seven
daughters. While in the fairy tale Beauty and The Beast the father figure told is a merchant who has
three daughters.

Karmic value: If a father loves his children, his children will return the favor for the love that has
been given.

 Simple girl

A girl should behave well, be polite, not overdo it, accept the situation, and help the distressed. In
addition, a good girl must have a loving nature towards all creatures such as plants, animals and
certainly humans. In the story excerpt Lutung Kasarung told as follows

"Purbasari is very good nature and behavior. He is gentle, sweet, and helpful. Anyone who needs help
is happy to be helped. In addition to his beautiful heart, Purbasari also has a beautiful and beautiful
face, everyone who sees it must fall in love at first sight"
Fairytale quotes Beauty and The Beast

"Belle is the most beautiful girl in the village. No doubt, many men intend to ask for it. No exception,
village thug, Gaston. Gaston loves Belle because of her beauty alone, not because of her heart. Belle
is not like most girls, although she is beautiful, Belle does not spend her time just dressing up, she
spends it in the library. Reading and humming, is Belle's pleasure. In the library, there is one book
that makes him crazy, which is a fairy tale about a prince who is cursed for not knowing affection.

Similar : Both stories tell a beautiful, kind and helpful girl.

Difference: In the story of Lutung Kasarung the girl told is Purbasari. He was the son of a king who
had six brothers and his brothers hated Purbasari. So she was cursed to be ugly, her skin peeled off by
her own brother named Purbararang. While in the fairy tale Beauty and The Beast told a girl named
Beauty, he is the son of a merchant and he likes to read books.

Karmic value: A girl who has a good nature will certainly be respected by everyone.

1. Curse

A curse is a prayer or a word that can cause distress or disaster to a person, a distress or a disaster that
befalls a person because of a prayer or a word spoken by another person.

Curse is an oath (curse, nista, etc.), the curse of God. Curses can occur when a person makes a

Lutung Kasarung story excerpt

"Sunan ambu explained that a woman who is as beautiful as herself will only be met by Prince
Guruminda in the human world. But if the prince of Guruminda insists on wanting to meet the woman
as he wishes, he must go into the world not in the form of a handsome and handsome prince
Guruminda, but in the form of a disguise in the form of a lutung." It's your name." Sunan Ambu said."
Are you willing to do it?"

Prince Guruminda expressed his disdant. After becoming a Lutung Kasarung, Prince Master Minda
immediately descended into the human world."

Fairytale quotes Beauty and The Beast

"A fairy disguised herself as an old woman who wanted to stay overnight at a prince's palace for a
rose. When the prince chased him away, the elf was angry and cursed him into an animal or
commonly called a monstrous Beast and the servants were also cursed into household furniture."

Similarities: Both stories are both condemned to be a bad animal.

Difference: In Lutung's story the prince is cursed by his own mother while in Beauty and The Beast
is cursed by a fairy disguised as an old woman.
Karmic value: If someone commits an act that is disrespectful or arbitrary to others, it will get a fair
reward.

 Meeting with true love

True love is a sincere, holy, pure love that grows out of the heart without looking at the physicality of
its partner. True love can meet anywhere and anytime suddenly and unintentionally.

Lutung Kasarung folklore quotes

"Uwak Batara Lengser took Lutung Kasarung to the forest where Purbasari was exiled. Uwak Batara
Lengser was convinced that Lutung Kasarung was no ordinary animal, therefore he gave a message to
Lutung Kasarung when they met Purbasari." Lutung, the princess who is currently in front of you is
the daughter of Prabu Tapa Agung. She is a kind-hearted Princess and is supposed to be the Queen of
Pasir Batang Kingdom. It was only because of the evil forces that he was exiled and eliminated into
this forest. Therefore, take care of our lord."

Lutung Kasarung nodded his head in understanding. So since then Lutung Kasarung became a
guardian as well as a close friend of Purbasari."

Fairytale quotes Beauty and The Beast

"After Gaston left, Belle found the horse her father, Philippe, was riding, home without her father.
Belle knows Maurice is in danger, so he overtakes Maurice into the woods. Maurice got lost and
attacked by wolves. He saved himself by entering the Beast's palace, but he made the Beast angry.
The beast locks maurice.Belle finds his father. He's willing to exchange himself for his father,
becoming a beast captive."

Similarity: Both stories tell the meeting of true love whose partner is not in the original form.

Difference: In the story of Lutung Kasarung meet each other in the forest. While in the fairy tale
Beauty and The Beast meet each other in the palace because the girl replaces her father as a captive
beast.

Karmic Value: Under no circumstances will one find his true love.

 Human invasion

Human beings are usually ugly-faced making people feel scared and disturbed so that the community
wants to attack and kill the human being.

Lutung Kasarung folklore quotes

"So, when he heard purbararang's plan to look for sacrificial animals in the forest, Lutung Kasarung
allowed himself to be captured by purbararang's men.

Before being used as a sacrificial animal, Lutung Kasrung suddenly went berserk and caused damage
in pasir Batang palace. The soldiers of Pasir Batang kingdom who intended to capture him were
rendered helpless. The fog of all those who intend to destroy it. Lutung Kasarung seems to show
hostility with all the soldiers of Pasir Batang Kingdom."

Fairytale quotes Beauty and The Beast

"Gaston tried to attack the Beast. Originally the Beast was still too sad to respond to Gaston. Belle
who comes begs Gaston to stop. Belle's arrival excited the Beast. The beast, winning the war, didn't
kill Gaston and release him. Yet Gaston slyly stabbed the Beast in the back. Gaston himself fell from
the tower and died of loss of balance."

Similarity: Both stories both tell the human invasion by the surrounding community because it is
considered to disturb the peace of the community.

Difference: In the story of Lutung Kasarung the man who turned himself in to be captured by the
citizens but after arriving at the palace Lutung Kasarung rampaged and attacked back the soldiers.
While in the fairy tale Beauty and The Beast humans are attacked by the citizens but the Beast does
not stay silent. He attacked the citizens who attacked him with all their might.

Karmic Value: A person who is cursed will definitely not be accepted by society and exiled by the
citizens.

 Loss of curse

The curse can be lost when the person has qualified the person who cursed it. For example, like,
finding universal love, a kiss of true love, doing a good and so on. The loss of the curse can restore
the original cursed form.

Lutung Kasarung folklore quotes

"Before Purbararang ordered the executioner to behead Purbasari. Lutung Kasarung suddenly sat
cross-legged with his eyes closed. His mouth looks a shock. Suddenly thick smoke enveloped Lutung
Kasarung's body. Not in a long time, thick smoke disappeared, a rough figure with an ugly face,
disappeared as the dense smoke passed. Change with the figure of prince minda teacher who is very
handsome and dashing."

Fairytale quotes Beauty and The Beast

"Belle thought the Beast was dead. He admits that he loved the Beast before the last rose petal fell.
The beast turned into a human. When he and Belle kiss, the entire palace becomes beautiful again.
The servants became human again. The film ends when Belle and the Beast dance in the dance room,
seen maurice and the crowd, including the Beast's servants."

Similarity: Both stories tell the loss of a curse when two people declare love to each other and the
ugly one turns into a handsome prince.

Difference: In the story of Lutung Kasarung lost the curse because Purbasari introduced Lutung
Kasarung as her future husband so that Lutung Kasarung turned into a handsome prince. While in the
fairy tale Beauty and The Beast the loss of the curse when Beauty kisses the Beast and turns the Beast
into a handsome prince.
Karmic Value: If a person loves with sincerity then he will get the result of his sincerity, a
handsome prince.
