Gaston Is an Alternate Beast
This next Disney theory is quite a literary one, where Gaston from Beauty and the Beast is an alternate version of the Beast. According to this theory, Gaston is a representation of what the Beast would have become if he wasn’t cursed. Admittedly, both of these characters are unpleasant throughout the movie, both are particularly vain, and both have piercing blue eyes. Perhaps more convincingly, Gaston’s death seems to have an effect on the Beast. Intriguing, don’t you think?
