Not only is he carrying the burden of his own mistakes, but also the burden of his father’s mistake. Pinocchio didn’t ask for this role, and it’s in his nature to not be well behaved, so he’s struggling, and I think that struggle, and his mistakes, are understandable.

THAT is an excellent point. He is carrying around his father’s mistake. You’re right.

And also right about a lot of things. I think that we are quick to judge a lot of these characters for what they do, saying, ‘oh thats wrong that he did that, I hate him.’ When really we’d do the same or similar in their position. We think its wrong cause it is, and it is good we know that its wrong… but as you said, we all do wrong things.
I can relate to him a lot.

Also about Neal–

I personally really want him to get back with Emma. I know he chose to do this because of whatever August had in the box..but I’m thinking that it is something pretty darn crazy for him to have actually left her. I think he really was regretting the decision, and feeling awful about what happened to Emma. He would have traded places with her, I think. But this isn’t really on topic…haha. You’re right, he did do what August told him.
