This page does not yet exist, though it could easily be created by referencing other anthologies for layout guidance.

Option 2

[edit]
Article title
Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast
Article Evaluation
The article could benefit from more robust linking to other articles relevant to the article as well as a more expansive section on literary criticism of the novel and how it inspired later adaptations (like the Trousdale/Disney animated Beauty and the Beast movie). It could also benefit from a list of themes and symbols as is common in other articles for novels and movies.

Option 3

[edit]
Article title
Rose Daughter
Article Evaluation
Similarly to above, the article could benefit from a more robust literary criticism section (seeing as the reception was much different to that of McKinley's previous retelling) as well as sections on the themes and symbols within the novel.

Option 4

[edit]
Article title
A Curse So Dark and Lonely (2019) by Brigid Kemmerer
Article Evaluation
The article for this book does not currently exist, but creating one with the basic structure used for other novels (plot, criticisms, themes, etc.) would be a fun challenge!

Option 5

[edit]
Article title
Maurice (page does not yet exist)
Article Evaluation
While there is a List of Disney's Beauty and the Beast characters where Maurice is featured, the character of Maurice or Belle's Father does not have his own page. With the many iterations of Maurice/Belle's Father, I believe it would be interesting to have a list of all of his different versions throughout the many adaptations of the tale since he is a very consistent character and arguably just as important to the plot as the title characters. I mean, even Belle's dress has an article.
