How would you describe the relationship between beast and his servants?


Based on what was seen in the film, what was the relationship between the Beast and his servants?

At least, feudal during the pre-Belle years for common servants, and more friendly with Mrs Potts & Lumière, looking to be parents by proxy.
At the end, some Disney books entitled they live like a nuclear family, threatening all of us as equal, an idea that I agree easily, and the movie too.

I would assume similarly to the servants of various nobles during the prelude to the French Revolution based on what Glenn Keane stated (in other words, between 1770 and 1789).

We know saw the Beast with his servants all that often, there are scenes but they would be annoyed to trying to get him to control his temper.

He DOES show trust in Lumiere when he looks to Lumiere for encouragement when he says, "I hope you like it here." His expression to Lumiere seems to ask, "How am I doing?" Plus, he asks Cogsworth for love advice later on. Plus, he also takes advice from Mrs. Potts too. So, I would say he trusts his servants and they are happy to help him out. And it is implied that he is protective of his servants by not wanting outside visitors to know about them. :) "

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