The first conflict between Belle and Beast when Belle's father was captured by Beast. At that time his father was going into the woods, on his way to go home while a storm was occurring. Then he was confronted by some wild animals in the forest, but fortunately he managed to escape. When he manages to escape, he finds a castle that looks out of place, then enters the palace. Inside the palace he was struck by some talking things, but he tried to fight his fear, until he finally decided to go home because he felt the place was very scary. However, while into his way to go home and still in the courtyard area of the palace, Belle's father saw a rose plant. When he saw the plant he remembered by Belle who wanted to bring roses when his father came home, then he decided to pick it. From a distance he had been overseen by Beast. When Beast learned of it, he assumed that Belle's father stole a rose in his yard. Then Beast locked up Belle's 30 father. This is where conflict begins between Belle and Beast. Belle was eager to free her father. It can be seen in the (28:51 – 29:29 ) :
Belle : Who are you?
Beast : Who are you?
Belle : I've come for my father.
Beast : Your father is a thief.
Belle : Liar!
Beast : He stole a rose.
Belle : I asked for the rose.
Punish me, not him.
Maurice : No! He means forever.
Apparently, that's what happens around here when you pick a flower.
Belle : A life sentence for a
rose?
Beast : I received eternal
damnation for one. I'm merely locking him away. Now, do you still
wish to take your father's place?
Data above shows that Beast was very angry with Belle's father. He thought of his father as a thief, so he wanted to imprison his father forever in the palace, but Belle would not be willing if his father was imprisoned forever. This is not the end, Belle is still negotiating with the Beast.

-
Compromise is an approach with a desire to keep everyone a little happy, perhaps not as happy as they would have liked, but happier than they would have been lose. The actual working of compromises, however, does not maximize the collective satisfaction. Instead, it equalizes dissatisfaction of the participants. It works to make sure no one is unhappy than others rather than to assure happiness. Compromising tends to reduce the moral of participants in the relationship rather than invigorate the relationship, solve problems, compromise tends to reduce energy and evoke passivity.
