In the movie Beauty and the Beast why did people think Belle was weird?

She reads and has some education and intelligence in an era when girls remained uneducated and thus were unable to read.



She does not like the "hot man" in town who is rich but very shallow. She does not participate in the town's "gossipy shallowness" prefering to read instead.



She genuinely likes her father who is a little strange...In the movie Beauty and the Beast why did people think Belle was weird?The answer rests in the movie's song, titled "Belle." She is different from the rest of the townspeople in that she reads books, dreams of a life of adventure away from her "provincial life," and is disinterested in marriage to Gaston, her would-be suitor.



In the chorus, the townspeople give several reasons:



"Look, there she goes, that girl is strange, no question.

Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?

Never part of any crowd,

'Cause her head's up on some cloud.

No denying she's a funny girl, that Belle."



And later on, they continue:



"Look, there she goes, that girl is so peculiar

I wonder if she's feeling well.

With a dreamy far-off look,

And her nose stuck in a book,

What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle."



In short, the townspeople think she's weird because she doesn't share their interests and values.In the movie Beauty and the Beast why did people think Belle was weird?Because she was a girl reading books.

AND because she wouldn't let Gestan have her as a wife because she thought he was shallow... All the other people thought he was rich and sexy and didn't care about anything of depth....In the movie Beauty and the Beast why did people think Belle was weird?Because her dad was a wierd inventor and all she did was read %26lt;:)
