Which breaks the metaphor and also creates a plot hole (so why doesn't Belle teleport to her father's side instead of taking a horse)

The atlas is two-way, it sends you there then takes you back, she could've popped in and right back out again

(Which might've made sense if she had teleported there but not if she had time to change while they were getting the horse ready)

If the Beast is a delusion or illusion, she argues, then where did she get a gown worth more than Gaston's house

And this is the tragic misstep, because she has once more done what they've always resented her for - made them feel cheap and small

(This class warfare subtext is brought to you by the original fairy tale, where the part of Gaston is played by the Envious Stepsisters)
