The reason I don't really feel bad for Gaston is because I think Belle did everything she could to save him - including risking her child's life and betraying her husband - but he still ignored her and let his rage take over, so she had to do the same thing to save Rumple. It just so happens that Gaston doesn't have a dagger that could control him, so she had to do something a little more severe.

Tbh though I half-expected her to get hit by the arrow when she screamed no.
