The Beast interrupting Belle about the West Wing?


In the scene when the Beast is taking Belle to her bedroom, he tells her she can go anywhere except the West Wing.

Belle: "What's in the West -"
Beast: "IT'S FORBIDDEN"

I remember watching this scene as a kid, and I thought Belle said: "What's in the West Wing" in its completed sentence before being accosted by the Beast.

He didn't want her to see the enchanted rose, with the final petals barely hanging on, and the potrait of Adam, the young (11 year old) prince that was cursed for 10 years.

He spent 10 years being secluded and cursed to be a hideous beast. I'd be cranky too.

reply

No, he wasn't 11 when he was cursed and the curse didn't last 10 years. The servants merely sing about how they haven't been able to use their skills to entertain guests for 10 years (due to the prince's personality). This is explained in the FAQ section.

reply

I think he was very sensitive about his curse but I honestly don't blame him. He was starting to lose hope about ever finding love.

Yep you are right about that, and don't forget about that the David Ogden Steirs mentions it in his narration, and he finishes it with the line "for who could ever learn to love a beast?"

The Enchantress turned him into a BEAST! How did she honestly expect him to pull chicks looking like a mashup of different animals? At least if she had just turned him into an ugly looking human he would have had a fighting chance. Mashup of different animals =Virtually no chance of getting chicks. Ugly looking human =Some chance of getting chicks(There are real life ugly men who have snagged beautiful women. Jay Z is ugly but he snagged Beyonce who is beautiful. ;)

Drake is repetitive. He just raps the same thing over and over as if he is in an insane asylum!LOL:D

reply

Yeah, and whatever little chance he might have had to get love as a beast was further sabotaged by the transfiguration of both the castle and the nearby forest (and the latter was strongly implied by the stained glass window). Heck, regarding the servants, they got transfigured too, and they're likely to die as a result of the rose's last petal falling. Beast would have had a chance if the servants remained human. At least the maid could help undo the spell that way had she remained human (loyalty to her boss, after all).

And as far as real life ugly men snagging beautiful women, you forgot to mention Jean-Paul Sartre, one of the more famous, or rather, infamous examples of this, and Jean-Paul Sartre's actions, not to mention the girls falling for him despite literally EVERYTHING about him being extremely ugly (not just physical appearance wise, but also the content of his character), just rendered the idea that true beauty comes from within completely meaningless. His womanizing and sleeping with countless women young enough to be his granddaughters, and then cruelly tossing them aside and having more joy at breaking their virginity than, well, them as human beings, would have been enough to put Gaston, Lumiere, and Claude Frollo to absolute shame (and in the case of Gaston and Frollo, be profoundly disgusted with him.).

The uglier he is, the more he has to work on his personality. That was the point of the curse.

reply

The point is, how many ladies would want to go near somebody who looked like a mashup of different animals? It's not like The Beast could stroll into a bar and say,"Hey, I'm looking for a lady to love me! I have a bad temper but I am really nice deep down and am a Prince with a huge castle! Who wants to take a chance on me!"

Well, that's the point, that would be too easy.

That would be funny if he did, I bet all the ladies would laugh him out of the tavern, and who would believe that he is really a prince in all that makeup or whatever she used to turn him into a beast. How many ladies would go for somebody that informs them they have a bad temper.

Some women do like bad boys.

reply

My sister had a huge ass crush on The Beast when she was 13. :/ She then dated some downright shady boys in her late teens. The Beast would have been a better boyfriend than her actual boyfriends:P Her actual boyfriends were plain neer do wells!

reply

And he must have been impatient for her finish the question, and plus he didn't even think that her curiosity even with help by his own servants would get the best of it.
