Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview... a chauvinistic hunter who thinks the world is his oyster. Thanks to his handsome looks and charming (although some might say smarmy) attitude, Gaston has spent his life getting exactly what he wants. And now he’s set his sights on marring Belle, the most beautiful girl in his village. The fact that she wants nothing to do with him is no concern for a man who knows that he always deserves the best.
Personality... a boorish braggart. Gaston’s favorite pastime is listing off his achievements to his crowd of adoring fans. He despises intellectualism, hates people who think outside the box, and refuses to take no for an answer. Though he seems outwardly charming, when things don’t go his way Gaston quickly becomes angry and vengeful.

Beauty and the Beast is the adaptation of a story by Madame de Villeneuve. Published anonymously in 1740 as La Jeune Américaine et les contes marins, it paints a portrait of Belle, a joyful and touching young girl who falls in love with the Beast, a cursed creature in search of love and redemption. In 1760, a condensed children’s version was published. It was from this version that Jean Cocteau and then Walt Disney drew their famous adaptations. Overshadowed, the original version by Madame de Villeneuve has never been adapted for the screen... until now!
