To say one is better than the other–that they have a better chance to be redeemed…I don’t know. Everyone talks about redemption for these two, but one sign of redemption is not only to change their ways, but to feel remorse for what they have done.
Regina has shown a great emotional side in regards to Henry, but she has done much to not only hurt him, but has never shown that she is truly sorry for her actions. She tried numerous times to kill his grandparents before he or Emma was born. She tried to get rid of Emma, she killed Graham and caused Henry to feel intense guilt for his death and fear for Emma’s safety.
Rumpelstiltskin is in the same catagory. While he motivation for finding his son is touching, what he has done is aweful. He killed a Fairy Godmother who never had anything to do with him. He helped create a curse to send everyone to their misery, and not only shows no remorse, but continues to manipulate. Belle said it herself–he still does bad things.
