Hello, suddenly these came into my mind, I posted them quickly so I would forget them.
1. Joan is beautiful.
2. Joan is more beautiful than me.
3. Joan is (the) most beautiful.
Is 'the' optional in the last sentence?
Thanks so much.

They are all fine. With regard to sentence #3 you can choose to omit "the" but the meaning is different then. most beautiful = very beatiful the + most + adjective = superlative most + adjective = elative
