The new movie shows us further how Belle is different from everyone else in town, demonstrating how the village feels toward educated women. Surely, one girl that can read is more than enough to for any town. The headmaster walks by and sees what’s happening and becomes immediately incensed. Belle begins teaching the little girl how to read. When Belle later returns to the village to do her washing, a little girl comes up to her and sees that she’s reading. Because he is, well, Gaston, this fails horribly: When Gaston comes into the scene and decides that he simply must have Belle, he tries to flirt with her over books. She grabs one she has already read and loved-the one in which the girl “meets Prince Charming, but doesn’t discover that it’s him ‘til chapter three!” This book is totally gorgeous with a gilt design. He appears to be a fellow villager with his own small collection of books, which Belle has already made her way through. ![]() Père Robert is not a bookseller like in the animated movie. This is another reference to Romeo and Juliet, and the towns she is talking about are Mantua and Verona. She tells him she has been to two towns in northern Italy. When Belle gets where she’s going, Père Robert, the man with the books, asks her where she has travelled. ![]()
