01. If you ever watched Beauty & The Beast during your childhood, then you will probably remember how much you hated Gaston.
But what if I told you that it actually goes deeper than that.
Think about it, the truly scary thing about Beauty & The Beast isn't the fact that Gaston exists, but that society absolutely loves him. People who deride the movie by saying it's about Stockholm Syndrome are ignoring the fact that it's actually about the various way that truly decent people get excluded by society.
People don't trust the Beast because of the way he looks, which only feeds his anger issues and pushes him further away.
Gaston isn't the only one who criticizes Belle for being bookish either, the whole town says there must be something wrong with her. And her Father gets carted off to a mental asylum for being just a little eccentric.
Think about it ...
