Re: So this also got long-winded
The Beast being young would be an incredibly irrelevant detail. The only way it would matter is if the enchantress was involved in the plot, since his age would directly reflect on his relationship with her. Otherwise though, the creators were hardly trying to pinpoint an age. He was young, and whatever young means to you. This is completely ignoring the fact that things that have narrative importance get completely overlooked. They're in some french-speaking land, so Prince most likely implies there is a King, at the very least. The stained glass shows that there were lands, knights, a town, peasants, none of which can be considered inside the castle or living there, and therefore weren't part of the spell. Where in heaven's name did these people go? Not to mention that there is a strong inference that the only other people affected were servants. The actual story does a better, but still vague, job of letting you know that the castle is enchanted just for people in need, because otherwise you would have to wonder how in 4 years (if he's 17 as you say), people completely forgot the kingdom existed. He doesn't even have a reputation. I mean, it's distant from Belle's town, but it's really just beyond some woods. Not to mention Gaston and the townsfolk seem to find it okay.
I would agree with you about being literal, if this weren't a fairy tale, and a great deal of the setting of fairy tales are their agelessness. The narrative purposes are much more important than any passage of time. I mean they could easily have just made the rose closed in the stained glass, but they didn't. He also has to have enough time to get depressed about it, and but you could make arguments either way there. I think he's a teenager and not 11, but as I said teenager is 13-19 to me.
