She must go of her own free will, and she does. However, the Beast is very kind to Beauty from the very beginning. Beauty acknowledges his kindness, but refuses to marry him because of his ugly appearance. It is not until Beauty is allowed to return home that she realizes she could love the Beast. He warns her that he will die of sorrow if she does not return. Stricken with guilt after not returning after the seven days he had set, she finally returns.
