okay but uhhhh… consider… au where belle has always been A Little Spiteful and when she meets the beast her first reaction is “whoever the cruel mistress of evil is who made you into this I Have To Meet Her” and the REAL batb plot happens when belle falls for the enchantress and has to get through her 362746 layers of human hate, general hate, magician’s guardedness, god complexes, etc. and convince her that just because she’s a terrifying otherworldly eldritch queen doesn’t mean she isn’t also deserving of some simple sappy romance

Forbidden Fruit (Le Fruit Défendu) by Auguste Toulmouche, 1865, illustrating how young women have always rebelled against having their access to knowledge policed.

Nineteenth-century French and British families kept a close eye on the literature allowed to pass into the hands of unmarried girls (married women were not automatically exempt, either). While Toulmouche’s painting garnered great acclaim for its aesthetic charms when it was exhibited at the Salon of 1865, a contemporary male art critic’s sour aside summed up the prevailing attitude to independent female minds:

“I do not approve of these silly girls; instead of searching forbidden pages for the knowledge that they lack, they would do better to leave tomorrow’s lover the pleasure of instructing them in the matters of which they are ignorant.” Paul Mantz quoted in Women Readers in French Painting 1870-1890 by Kathryn J. Brown.
