To simply have access to a lot of books? Sure, that's why I support public libraries.
To be held in captivity by an enraged asshole? No. Nothing about Beauty and the Beast is good for women. Least of all the brainwashing it does to convince young girls to love horrible wealthy men and try to fix them via codependency and tolerate financial and emotional abuse.
See Mickey Mouse Monopoly documentary for analysis on Disney movies and the themes they push (VERY hard to search up, here's a link https://youtu.be/WDwYOBJLZdg )

It's way worse in the original story.
It's a cursed thorn that keeps her asleep. Prince comes along and rapes her in her sleep. Then leaves her pregnant and still unconscious.
Nine months later she gives birth. The baby crawls up searching for a nipple and starts nursing on her finger. It sucks the thorn out of her finger lifting the curse and she wakes up.
Oh lord that's awful
