10 Romantic Lead Characters Who Were Actually Major Douches

3. The Beast - Beauty And The Beast

Beauty-the-Beast-beauty-and-the-beast-1711621-960-540 It always shocks me that Beauty and the Beast is meant to be romantic. I mean, maybe the Beast just needs a woman's touch around the castle, but that doesn't excuse all the yelling and carrying on he does through 3/4 of the film. Seriously Belle, run. As fast as you can and never look back. This is just one of those films that teaches girls that they can change a man. Go for the broken ones, because then you can fix them. No. If he's a verbally abusive jerk when you met him, he'll probably be a verbally abusive jerk when you marry him. And that's putting aside the fact that they only met because he held her hostage. Is that really the meet-cute you want to be telling your grandchildren about?
