Characteristics
A big, strong, handsome, muscular man who's "roughly the size of a barge", with "biceps to spare" (apparently so because he has been eating lots of eggs every day since he was a boy to produce his admittedly incredible physique), a huge hairy chest and long black hair pulled back into a ponytail, Gaston is a self-centered, narcissistic, rude, gross, and arrogant man loved and admired (especially by three dimwitted and fangirlish blonde bimbettes) by almost everyone in the village, except for the one woman he is obsessed with and determined to marry: Belle. In Psychology, egocentrism is defined as a the incomplete differentiation of the self and the world including other people and b the tendency to perceive understand and interpret Narcissism describes the trait of excessive Self-love, based on Self-image or Ego. The term fangirl can be used to describe a female member of a Fandom community (as opposed to the masculine " Fanboy " Bimbo is a term that emerged in popular English language usage in the early 20th century to describe an often attractive yet unintelligent woman NOTICE TO WOULD-BE ROMEOS ************** Belle is the heroine of the Disney animated film Beauty and the Beast and its two Direct-to-video sequels Beauty and the Beast The Enchanted Gaston is portrayed as being strongly chauvinistic towards women despite his claims of loving the ladies. Chauvinism (ˈʃoʊvɨnɪzəm is extreme and unreasoning Partisanship on behalf of a group to which one belongs especially when the partisanship includes malice and hatred He calls Belle his "little wife", and says that they will have six or seven "strapping boys" like himself (and no girls) and also says that it is inappropriate for a woman to read books because "soon she starts getting ideas and thinking". Gaston isn't very intelligent himself - Belle tells him he is "Positively primeval," which he takes as a compliment. His hobbies include hunting (his skill made obvious by the large amount of trophies he has amassed, which he proudly displays on the wall of the local tavern), spitting (at which he excels), testing the strength and girth of his neck with a belt, lifting a trio of pretty female admirers (and the bench they happen to be sitting on) over his head with one hand in order to show off his incredible strength, and sitting in a formidable bearskin chair. He takes considerable pride in the fact that he uses antlers in all of his decorating. Although conceited, he is perhaps to be admired for his courage in preparing a wedding ceremony outside of Belle's cottage, prior to proposal.
Appearances
Film
Gaston starts off as the local hero with a bumbling sidekick, "Lefou", in the French village where the film takes place, pursuing Belle through the village as she borrows a book from the local bookstore. Their meeting starts off pretty well, but Gaston's sexist remarks about women drives Belle away from him and she goes home, leaving him disappointed. The next day, Gaston organises a wedding outside Belle's garden as a surprise for her, prior to proposal. He enters Belle's house and attempts to propose to her, but his rude behaviour and idiotic remarks ruin the attempt, and Belle literally throws him out of her house, ridiculing him in front of almost the entire village.
Gaston doesn't stop there, however, as the villagers in a local pub, along with Lefou, sing a song about Gaston's greatness to cheer him up after being rejected by Belle, when Maurice storms in and warns the villagers about the beast. Thinking he is insane, Gaston orders the villagers to throw him out of the bar. However, after Gaston hears villagers mumble "crazy old maurice", he decides to use the village's dislike of Belle's father, Maurice, to his advantage: by paying his friend, Monsieur D'Arque, to help him organise a lynch mob to take Maurice to the local madhouse unless Belle agrees to marry him, but Belle manages to prove her father's apparently insane claims about a Beast inhabiting in the huge castle in the woods to be true by using a magic mirror the Beast had given her. The Beast is a beast Fictional character and one of the main protagonists in Disney's 1991 animated film Beauty and the Beast. Gaston grows even more frustrated after his plan fails, but he completely cracks upon learning that Belle has fallen for the Beast and not him.
In a homicidal rage, Gaston convinces the villagers that the Beast is a man-eating monster that has to be brought down immediately, and locking Belle and Maurice in the cellar of their home, Gaston leads the lynch mob to storm Beast's castle and leave none alive. In the ensuing battle between the rioters and castle servants, Gaston confronts the Beast alone. He fires an arrow into him, tosses him onto a lower section of the roof and taunts him. When Beast doesn't respond, Gaston breaks off a stone projection to use as a club and kill the Beast. But when Beast sees Belle down below his strength returns. He faces Gaston and they fight their own battle. The Beast soon has Gaston at his mercy but spares him because he knows he isn't a monster like Gaston. However when Beast climbs up on a balcony to Belle, Gaston manages to stab the Beast in the back with a dagger and mortally wound him, only to lose his footing and fall off the castle roof into a deep ravine. A ravine is a very small Valley, which is often the product of Streamcutting Erosion.

Disney's House of Mouse is an American Animated Television series, produced by Walt Disney Television, that originally aired from Mickey's House of Villains is a Direct-to-video Film created by Disney. A recurring joke in the series is that Gaston is liable to boast that "nobody can (specific action inserted) like Gaston" whenever he overhears someone mention (specific action inserted). In one episode, fellow villain Hades retorts mockingly to one of Gaston's boasts, " nobody can be extremely annoying like Gaston". Hades, voiced by James Woods, is the Villain in the 1997 movie Hercules, based on the Greek god Hades. The ongoing joke is a reference to the song "Gaston" from the film, in which he and the patrons of the pub sing about Gaston's greatness ("No one fights like Gaston", etc. ). In another episode, he reveals that his big secret is that he has met several people who hunt like Gaston. Those appearances are not in the same continuity as Beauty and the Beast and are not to be considered canon. Richard White reprises his role as Gaston in House of Mouse.
