That’s the key word. Innocent. So many terrible things have happened to her and she didn’t deserve it. Because of her association with Rumpel, she’s been treated as a nothing but a chess piece and it’s sad to watch. She’s a really sweet girl and doesn’t deserve any of the things that have happened to her. She reminds me of Snow in that respect. The only difference is that Snow was able to defend herself. Regina kidnapped Belle before she ever got the chance to learn how to live on her own.

And I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but I think she’s a very strong woman. She’s one of the few people who can tell Rumpel off without getting killed. The girl’s got guts! 😆

I agree. Belle is similar to Henry in their innocent aspect. A character can’t deliberately hurt them without being considered a villain.

Belle is a strong woman, especially when compared to Cinderella.

Would there be the same reaction had Hook hit Aurora instead? Or any other female character that we have come to love?

Would there be the same reaction had Hook hit Mulan instead? Most people haven’t yet warmed up to her character yet.
