Beauty and the Beast Exile Quotes

As the Beast throws Maurice out of the castle, we come to a funky realization. The old man is just as exiled when he gets back to town as he was locked up in the Beast's tower. "Exile" in this case doesn't mean a physical place so much as being separated from someone you love. (In this case, it's Belle, who's taking his place.)

The incident with the wolves shows us the very practical dangers of exile. We really mean it when we call it the Murder Forest; leaving without permission definitely carries its share of risks. Contrast this with the Beast, who's been perfectly capable of leaving whenever he wanted.

Maurice's exile from the community is less dire than the Beast's, in that he's still in the village among the community. But, for all practical purposes, it's no different. They've locked him out and have no interest in lending a hand.
