      Gaston did nothing wrong. He went off to rescue an abductee/abuse victim. It’s not his fault Bell is in I Can Fix Him mode, nor did he have any way of knowing this. He does dunk on Bell for reading but let’s consider the time frame, that level of literacy and the amount of money and resources necessary for Bell’s Dad’s weird invemtions suggests that they are of some minor nobility and between her getting up in people’s faces and his noise and pollution and waste of precious timber alone to run his weird steam inventions that are Rube Goldberg machines and wouldn’t really help.anyone even if they worked. If Bell had returned with Gaston instead of living in a castle with a prince who abused her, maybe she would be spared the revolution soon to come.
