Jefferson said all stories has to come from somewhere... perhaps the original author of "Beauty and the Beast" was following Belle in his dreams... he or she saw Belle living with the Beast (Rumplestiltskin) and he or she saw Belle turning the Beast into a handsome prince (Phillip)... and so the author wrote down what he or she saw in his or her dreams... and the story became known as "Beauty and the Beast" in our world. So, the author of the original fairy tale erroneously thought Rumplestiltskin and Phillip were a single entity called the Beast.
