Gaston says to her at one point, "It's not right for a woman to read. Soon she starts getting ideas and...thinking...". Belle also does not care about appearances, whether they pertain to herself 或者 anyone else. This is highly ironic, considering she is seen as the most beautiful woman in her village.

Strong Meaning
When Terrence Mann sang this on the Original Broadway cast, I cried my 心 out because the beast voiced out his remorseful feelings for chasing Belle out of the West Wing. In fact, the song should also be in the 2017 version because the beast felt no remorse shortly chasing Belle out.
Dramatic Ending
Upon listening to Alan Menken's rendition, I was blown away from his performance and I personally wish that Dan Stevens would sing this song for the film, I'm dying to hear his version!
If I Can't 爱情 Her
So, here are my two reasons on why I 爱情 the song, do tell me on what do 你 think and do 你 think that it should part of the film?
