Briar Rose

"Ah, the beautiful: what a deadly illusion! Yet, still he is drawn to it."

It seems like the theme of beauty being something "deadly" is common in a lot of the types of stories I like to read. Many times if a character is described as strikingly beautiful, they would use that to their advantage to get what they wanted or to manipulate others. I agree that beauty can be a "deadly illusion." Isn't it a reoccurring life lesson that true beauty comes from within? Or that just because someone is lovely on the outside, there is no guarantee that this stays true for the inside?
