You’re right but OP was saying that thinking this was thinking she’s better than the town. It’s one of those situations where a woman can’t win because men are describing her actions. “Woman dreams of a life well lived” is the same as “Woman thinks town is beneath her” except hunting lodge chuds are describing her.
As a man who identifies more with Belle than with the rest of the townspeople, I can absolutely tell you that men who don’t conform get treated the exact same way. It’s not a gender thing.
Also, the women in the town judge her too, so why “can’t win because men are describing her actions”? Again, it’s not a gender thing.

Only an illiterate jock would be upset that someone wants more than an illiterate jock.
