   AK> So it could be simply "Beauty and Beast"?   
      
   Not at all. One need only take a glance at the story "Beauty   
   and The Beast" to understand that the article usage  is  not   
   related  to  the  ungrammatical  conventions  of titles, but   
   reflects the usage in Beaumont's abridged version:   
      
     https://www.pitt.edu/~dash/beauty.html   
      
   where the princess  is  called  Beauty  and  the  prince  is   
   referred  to  as both "the beast" and "Beast" -- by name and   
   by essense.
