Bloody Chamber

with the story of beauty and the beast, i think the humor that Carter is trying to show is that right in the beginning when the mother asks beauty if she is in love with this man she says im am ready to marry him. I think right here it shows that beauty is a gold digger, and only married this beast for the money, becuase she was curious as to why he chose her out of all woman after 3 relationships didnt work out 

Another thing i find funny and fishy is that the beast gives her the key to a door she can not open ? why would he do that ? which means he already knew prior that she will open this door. Now when reading this story you start to understand that the beast knew she will open the door thats why he gave it to her. But then i ask myself what if she didnt open the door, would there be a story? right here is the fishy part to me. Carter wrote this in a sense where the beast knew she would open it and then the story continues because if she didnt there would be no story, or a different story? so how can this story be valid? 

He obviously knew that she would open that door because curiosity would get the best of her and she would just do it and thats what happened. And the quote "curiosity kills" is not always true because here we see that when she was curious and opened the door, she found out what happened and escaped through it.
