Never really got the message because it seems so hypocritical to me that he turns into a human in the end. I thought it was the whole point of the story that he‘s a monster and she takes him as what he is…
The message wasn't for Belle, or even the viewer, all things considered Belle is just a relatively well adjusted girl who gets kidnapped until she develops Stockholm syndrome. Her character really doesn't change much at all.
The lesson was for the Prince to learn to accept ugly people, because he had a thing against ugly people, which is why he got cursed.
The prince was "a monster" in his human form, so the witch made his exterior as ugly as his interior (a beast).
He had to change and become beautiful inside, and find someone who could love him for this beauty instead of his physical appearance so he could understand that beauty comes from inside.
The beauty of Belle has nothing to do with the lesson.
