The Real Villain in Beauty and the Beast: It’s Not Who You Think
The plot revolves around Belle sacrificing her liberty to rescue her father, who is held captive by the Beast. This means that the Prince in “Beauty and the Beast” faced some of the harshest penalties ever depicted in a Disney animated film, all inflicted by one person alone. Despite having a larger role in the live-action version of “Beauty and the Beast,” the Enchantress’s actions have far more profound effects than any other character, hinting that her role in the original movie was significantly more pivotal than previously understood.
