> So it could be simply "Beauty and Beast"?

I suspect that it is "Beauty and the Beast" because, when it comes to the
titles of books, songs, and other artworks in English, the leading "A" and
"The" articles often get dropped.

Also, she is a Beauty but the story does not imply that she is the only
Beauty that exists.  On the other hand, The Beast is portrayed as a
singular individual.  So he is the (one and only) Beast.
