I believe that, while Adam is "the beast", it can also be interpretted as Blake literally being The Beauty and the Beast. (belle(as in Belladonna)= beauty and then Black the beast)

It could also be a point on how she almost seems to deny her Faunus heritage (she always tries to present herself as the beauty ((aka a human)) but she can't deny that she is, in fact a beast (or a Faunus)
