■ One-Line Definition
👉 A work that depicts a structure in which fairy-tale normativity and rejected selfhood collide within a world that mistakes appearance for moral value

■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Appearance as social judgment
Reason: The world reads the protagonist’s body as moral inferiority before knowing his personhood.
Related Film: Beauty and the Beast - Middle: Monsterhood as imposed identity
Reason: The conflict turns on whether the rejected figure must accept the role others assign.
Related Film: The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Core: Love beyond normative transformation
Reason: The conclusion rejects correction into conventional beauty and affirms mutual recognition as-is.

■ Secondary Axes
- Script inversion: The heroic fairy-tale role is dismantled and reassigned to the excluded figure.
Related Film: Megamind - Exile and belonging: A rejected being finds community by resisting the order that defines him as unfit.
