And the fact that he's not Gaston, who expected her to churn out a bunch of kids for her life, I think implies that she could still have adventures. In fact, now she's probably got the money for them--and after being trapped in a castle for years, Beast would probably be happy to leave it too. His respecting the things she wanted and loved was part of what made her love him--thus the whole "I give you a library because books are the things you love best" scene.

B&B is pretty much about finding love, so if anything it's the "I want adventure" that's tacked on to the story. For an adventure story they'd really have to start with something else.

Ah yes, that's a good point. Gaston did play a prominent role in the movie, not just as the villain, but as showing why Belle worked so much better with the Beast. This showed that Belle didn't want to fall in love and settle down with any guy, but the one who would let her continue doing what she loved. It was clear that Gaston would make Belle abandon her books and her hopes and dreams of adventuring. If that was the case with the Beast, then Belle wouldn't have fallen in love with him. But, like you said, when the Beast presented her with the library, this showed that the Beast really did care about what Belle wanted. At first he just wanted to be with her to break the curse, but he grew to love her for what she was, unlike Gaston, who just wanted a token wife.

In the Broadway version of Beauty and the Beast (I think this may be in the DVD version of BatB too, although I'm not sure), Belle tells the Beast, "You and I are alike. Where I come from, people think I'm odd." The Beast doesn't care that she's "odd", and lets her be who she is, so I really don't think she'd be tied down to a castle with him. That's one of the reasons she loved him. With him she could have the life of adventure that she truly wanted.
