No. Excuse me, but my exact words were: \"Belle never gives him a chance to voice his opinion on it.\" I did not say she has any obligation to give him a chance to woo her or that it is not her prerogative to live life as a spinster. Hell, I didn\'t even say that she has any obligation to give Gaston a chance to voice his opinion on anything. I said WE, the audience, don\'t know Gaston\'s opinion on the subject of adventure because Belle doesn\'t give him the chance. Thats not a judgement, its a simple matter of cause and effect: she does not want to engage him in conversation, therefore, we learn less about him than we might otherwise (because live action Gaston is not nearly as willing to talk over Belle as his animated counterpart is... which proves the point I\'ve been trying to make this whole time).
Just because she as a person has every right to dismiss him the way she does does not mean that it flows naturally from the script, which the the entire point of the Designated Villain or Designated Monkey tropes.
And, finally, the white elephant in the room: She gives the Beast a chance. The guy who imprisons her for his own selfish reasons.
