That's pretty much it. Heck, Enchanted Christmas even made stronger implications that this was exactly what would happen when Forte ordered Beast to effectively commit suicide on his remaining human aspects.

And honestly, for a character who was considered smart in the film, Belle came across as being very stupid in that incident. I know curiosity is a natural state for human beings, or even animals, but there's a big difference between acting on curiosity and basically doing things that pretty obviously shouldn't be done. I mean, come on, when someone has kept something under a covering like, I don't know, the glass dome the rose was placed under, chances are pretty obvious that the item should not be touched by anyone, and chances are there's a very good reason why said item shouldn't be touched. In fact, other than her love of books and her briefly deducing correctly that the castle and its inhabitants were enchanted, I don't even know why people consider her to even be smart? A lot of my College professors have obviously read books, notes, and other materials, and only a few of them would even qualify as actually being smart, most of them are just flat out out of their mind. Heck, Sartre was very literate and well educated, yet look how he turned out, promoting Communism and Stalin even when they were no longer in vogue (and for good reason they were made out of vogue, I should point out) and claiming that Nazi-occupied France, of all things, was somehow more free than liberated France.
