You couldn’t have said this better! I completely agree with you. Rumpel has been slowing killing himself with each innocent life he hurts. The light of hope within him that was from loving his son is diminishing. If someone doesn’t save him, he will drown in his own pain, ultimately loosing his humanity. That is when he will become a true beast.
I like the way you said that. His darkness is slowly killing him. I wonder if that will become an actual theme in the show? The idea of darkness slowly killing a person from the inside. Rumple started out as good and decent man, but the dark one’s power slowly began to eat away at him. I wonder if the dark one’s powers would actually kill the person it inhabits? That would be tragic.
