Babette's presence represents a real sense of "life balance". She not only gives the ascetic people in town a chance to face their "inherent desire", which in fact is not obstacle of their belief but the sign could lead them to the heaven, but also sounds the alarm for them, that people should not be addicted themselves to the desire and pleasant, regarding those as the purpose of life, but forget the source of beauty and grace.
She presents her own life value by spending all her money in order to bring a magnificent feast to the austere sister and villagers, but doesn't not hesitate to reject the luxury life in Paris.
