   Hi, Ardith Hinton! -> Alexander Koryagin   
   I read your message from 31.03.2021 23:30   
      
    AH>> But whether "Beauty" is seen there as the name of a person   
    AH>> or "beauty" in the general sense or both, the article would still   
    AH>> be omitted in English....   
    AH> [...]   
    AK>> I even heard that articles in titles are not necessary in English   
    AK>> at all.   
      
    AH> That would be going a bit too far. It is true that a title may have   
    AH> the initial article listed at the end, following a commma, in the   
    AH> library card catalogue & suchlike... e.g. CANADIAN OXFORD   
    AH> DICTIONARY, THE. We have so many titles beginning with "a(n)"   
    AH> or "the" we'd never find anything otherwise.   
      
    AH> It is also true that I say "my CANADIAN OXFORD DICTIONARY" at   
    AH> times, particularly in this echo, but I'm writing informally here.   
    AH> If I were writing an academic essay I'd make sure all the i's were   
    AH> dotted & all the t's crossed.   
      
   I meant newspaper titles, for instance:   
      
   Taiwan train crash: Lorry boss offers 'deep remorse'   
      
   https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-56632955   
      
    AK>> So it easily could be "Beaty and Beast", isn't it?   
      
    AH> Only if both are proper nouns. In this tale "the beast" is a prince   
    AH> under a magic spell. Whatever his real name is I doubt   
    AH> it's "Beast", although he's listed that way in the movie credits.   
      
   IMHO it's the same like Belle listed as a beauty. well, I'll read the original   
   and say more. ;)   
      
      
   Bye, Ardith!
