However, the Beast imprisons him when he "stole" a rose from his garden as a gift to Belle. On Maurice's way to the market, he becomes lost in the forest and after narrowly escaping a pack of wolves he seeks refuge in the Beast's castle. She constantly brushes off advances from Gaston, an arrogant war veteran as he is not the type of man Belle wishes to marry. Several years later, in the small town of Villeneuve, Belle, the book-loving daughter of a widowed artist named Maurice, dreams of adventure. She warns the prince that the curse will be broken, only if he can learn to love another and have that person love him in return by the time the last petal of the rose falls, or else he will remain a beast for the rest of his life while his servants become inanimate.
When he refuses the offer, the enchantress reveals her true form and transforms the prince into a beast and his servants into household objects before erasing the castle, himself, and his servants from the memories of their loved ones and everyone else in the town.
