lumière is the beast's kindhearted but rebellious maître d', cogsworth's counterpart and rival. because of the curse placed by the enchantress, he was transformed into a candelabra. he allows maurice to come into the castle to stay. later, he and cogsworth lure belle to maurice in hopes that she will break the spell. he suggests that the beast try and move her to a better room. lumière tries to help the beast become more civil for belle, and sometimes rebels against the beast if it suits the other characters' needs (like allowing belle to have dinner despite beast's refusal to let them feed her). later, after the beast rescues belle from more wolves, and belle nurses the beast back to health, earning his affections in the process, lumière, aware of what would impress such a voracious reader, astutely suggests that the beast give belle the castle's immense library as a gift, which has the desired effect. he also tries to help the beast learn how to do the waltz. he is initially upset that belle leaves the castle, but he remains optimistic at the same time, since he's still convinced that she'll break the spell. when he discovers that the castle is going to be invaded by gaston's lynch mob, he plans the battle. he then decides to set up a trap where all of the furniture is in the foyer, and he gives the signal to attack. while he is unable to stop gaston from deserting the battle to kill the beast, lumière saves fifi the featherduster from being plucked apart by a villager and is earlier himself saved from le fou by cogsworth. he, cogsworth and mrs. potts rush to aid the beast who is fighting against gaston, but arrive after the battle's end, when the beast dies from a mortal wound from gaston, who fell to his death from the west wing. the spell breaks, however, reviving the beast and returning lumière and the others to their original forms. in the end, he gets into an argument with cogsworth about who told who about belle breaking the spell (it was lumière).
