Ti Moune vs M.Bienconnu
The problem with the confrontation is that M.Bienconnu is trying to help Ti Moune understand that the problem lies within her and not Daniel. While the two are speaking it is clear that Ti Moune is so one sided/one minded that she cannot grasp what M.Bienconnu is saying without completely shutting it down. Ti Moune aspires something that can easily be seen as crazy by her fellow community. It is not that they don't believe that Daniel will love it necessarily, because who knows? They do believe though, that she is crazy for thinking she can make a journey that far for one boy that did nothing but cause everyone trouble. (The death smell, storm, etc.) Ti Moune says "You are saying that Daniel Beaxomme cannot love me?" When that is not what M.Bienconnu said at all. He told her to be tranquil and keep her heart where one can feel it's beat. I believe that they needed to go a little deeper in conversation, and it can be seen as M.Bienconnu's fault for not being clear with Ti Moune. There is a great misunderstanding between the community and Ti Moune, but since her ideas are young and wild, the other people don't want to waste their time. Ti Moune would have made her journey regardless of who was trying to stop her, but I believe that the other people could have been more persuasive to make her stay.
