If Belle married Gaston, it might create chaos in the story. Gaston's character is so different from Belle's that their relationship would likely be full of challenges and power struggles.
It could lead to a very different story. Maybe Gaston would change for the better with Belle's influence, or they might still have a lot of conflicts.
Well, if Belle married Gaston, it could be an interesting twist. Maybe it would show that love can change even the most unlikely of people, or it could end up being a disaster as their personalities clash.
If Gaston truly loved Belle, he would have to change his ways completely. He'd need to stop being so self - centered and brutish. He might start to appreciate Belle's love for books and learning instead of seeing it as something odd. Maybe he'd even learn to read himself and have deep conversations with her about the stories she loves. But it's hard to imagine him changing that much because his pride and his image in the village are so important to him.
The story would take a whole new turn if Gaston and Belle were in a relationship. Gaston, being the way he is, would likely try to mold Belle into the 'perfect wife' according to his standards at first. But Belle, with her strong will, would resist. This could lead to a lot of conflict between them. On the other hand, if Gaston truly changed for Belle, the village might see a different side of him too. However, the Beast would be left in despair, and the magical elements of the story would be disrupted. The story would no longer be about the Beauty and the Beast's journey of love and self - discovery, but rather about Gaston and Belle's struggle to understand each other and make their relationship work in a very different social context.
One idea could be a 'what if' scenario where Gaston has a change of heart. Maybe he realizes Belle's kindness towards the Beast makes her truly special and he tries to make amends for his past behavior. He could start by helping the villagers understand the Beast better instead of leading them to attack the castle.
One interesting plot might be that Gaston somehow gets transported into the enchanted castle with Belle. He then has to learn to live with the enchanted objects and the Beast. This could lead to humorous situations as Gaston tries to assert his dominance in a place where his usual tactics don't work. At the same time, Belle could see a different side of Gaston as he struggles to adapt, and it could change her perception of him too.
Their relationship could be re - imagined as a friendly rivalry. Instead of Gaston being obsessed with Belle in a creepy way, he could see her as a worthy opponent in things like intellectual debates or archery contests. This would change the dynamic between them from one of unwanted pursuit to one of mutual respect.
The theme of transformation is also quite common. Belle might transform Gaston into a better person, or Gaston might cause Belle to become more assertive in dealing with the outside world. Their marriage becomes a catalyst for personal growth for both of them. Also, there can be a theme of forgiveness. Belle has to forgive Gaston for his past wrongdoings, and Gaston has to forgive Belle for not immediately falling for him. This theme adds depth to their relationship in the fanfiction.
It could lead to a very different story. Maybe Gaston would change for the better because of Belle's influence, or it could be a constant power struggle between them.
He could also be redeemed through a long - term change in his behavior. If he starts to respect Belle's intelligence and independence. He might start to listen to her ideas about the village, like how to improve education or help the poor. By taking her advice and seeing positive results, he would gradually become a better person in her eyes.
Well, if Belle married Gaston in fanfiction, it could go a few ways. One, Gaston could continue to be his overbearing self, trying to control Belle and her activities. This would lead to a lot of arguments and unhappiness. Two, Belle could use her charm and intelligence to slowly mold Gaston into a better person. He might start to care more about the well - being of others and less about his own ego. Or three, they could simply be a mismatched couple that just co - exist in an unhappy marriage, with Belle longing for more intellectual stimulation and Gaston not understanding why she's not satisfied with his hunting achievements.
In the fanfiction, the beast might use his strength. He could physically overpower Gaston when Gaston tries to harm Belle. For example, he might grab Gaston and throw him away from Belle.
