Eye of the Beholder: Beauty in Myths, Fairytales, and Great Stories

<p>This week in the Cold, we talk about beauty. The way it shapes how we view the world and how it can alter our perceptions for good or ill. The role beauty plays in how we write or interpret a story and its characters is crucial and infinite. Because beauty is about so much more than a pretty face or a hot body. In great stories, we use it to inspire empathy, to foment passion, to find the weakness in another human being and use it to destroy them. It is truly an awesome tool.
