The question raised some time between two people about whether I should say I am a beast! or I am a beast! moves us to clarify that beast is a feminine noun, synonymous with four-legged animal, especially the load, like the horse, mule, etc., so if someone wants to exaggerate and say, worked like a beast!, can do, he did not commit any transgression.
But using it with that meaning, or as an adjective, synonymous with rude and ignorant person, you can open up and say I am a beast! or I am a beast!, which of the two modes is well said.
This reminds us of a class of Castilian in which a professor asked students what was right: "I drove like a beast" or "I drove like a beast."
Half the class was in favor of "a beast", the other half by "a beast." Then the teacher slapped the table and shouted: "It's wrong either way (general astonishment) ... because they do not say I was driving but drove me, beast!
