Courtship is defined as "the courtship of one person by another, behavior in animals that occurs before and during mating, often including elaborate displays." This definition encompasses this whole story, the courtship of the beast to attract Beauty towards him and his behavior before meeting her and when he is with her and even when he is not with her. Mr. Lyon's Courtship is based on a fairy tale written by Angela Carter. This story is thought to be inspired by the book Beauty and the Beast by author Charles Perrault. This fairy tale has a plot similar to Beauty and the Beast, the usual “feel good” plots, where a girl is on a mission to find her true love and meets many unsuitable men along the way and other trials too and tribulationsLyon is based on Charles Perrault's fairy tale “Beauty and the Beast” and is also told in the third person. “'The Courtship of Mr. Lyon' moves to Beaumont's narrative and back, emphasizing its presence as the hypotext of Carter's hypertext. Carter thus creates a double textuality, relying on imitation and insistent differentiation. His text is based on intertextuality and pastiche to proclaim its sense of belonging and at the same time on anachronism and parody to advertise its difference...

Carter also uses allusions to get his point across and hint at such small meanings, like snow, that no ordinary person would think anything of the story being set in snow, but that's not what Carter intended. " The opening paragraph combines references to "Snow White" and "Cinderella": "Outside her kitchen window, the hedge shone as if the snow possessed a light of its own... This lovely girl, whose skin possesses the same inner light , then you would have thought that she too was made all of snow” (Crunelle-Vanrigh 117-118). The main point of view of this fairy tale that Carter conveys is a feminist perspective. The feminist perspective in this story is very true to life, it's the story of a woman's discovery of who she really is and what she really wants in life and also along the path of people who don't agree with female objectification and in what he believes. true to life because this story resembles most women's real life situations with a couple of dubious actions along the way, but for the most part this is the traditional story of a
