Gaston is loved by everyone in the town except for Belle. He is a high ranking authority to the point that rallying the whole town against the beast is an easy feat. From his decorations it can be inferred that he protects the town from all sorts of beasts on the regular. His goal in life is to woo and marry the prettiest girl in town. He genuinely tries and sets up a whole band and a wealthy man's (during that day and age) wedding for them. When he hears Belle's father going on about a beast he really does think he is crazy and didn't realize the truth until Belle showed him the mirror. Thinking he was crazy he may have even thought relieving the stress on Belle to take care of her crazy father singlehandedly would be kind and she would want to marry him. When he heard of the monstrous beast who had kidnapped Belle and possibly even cast a spell on her he immediately went to kill the beast just like the prince is supposed to. He was just trying to rescue her. In the end when the beast goes up to see Belle, Gaston knifes him in the back possibly thinking he was saving her life. When Gaston falls to his death the movie depicts sculls in his eyes marking the end of the traditional disney prince. The movie still needed a prince for Belle so the beast stood in as the new type for princes.
You be the judge but really Belle was crazy for despising Gaston the richest, strongest, most caring, and most loved man in the area. I know this one was a little short but as a final note I would just like to point out how ridiculous it was when Belle started crying in her room. It is nicer than mine and her previous home. Like you live in a castle stop complaining.
