Gaston serves as a foil personality to the Beast, who was once as vain as Gaston prior to his transformation. Someone who can't take a "no" as a response and whose end justifies the means, thus bringing out his dark, insensitive, calculating and manipulative side, despite his initial appearance. Gaston is not really in love with Belle, he just wants to have her as a trophy wife, so another "hunting-trophy" to be displayed publicly as a sign of conquest, and as the most handsome man in town he must consequently have the most beautiful girl in town as his wife. Voiced by American actor and singer Richard White, Gaston is extremely conceited and violent though charismatic and admired hunter whose unrequited advances to the intellectual Belle drive him to murder his adversary, the Beast, once he realizes she cares for him instead. Gaston is a fictional character and the main antagonist of Walt Disney Pictures' 30th animated feature film Beauty and the Beast (1991).
