Rumple tempted Regina, but she did have free will and choice. She did have Tinkerbell offering her support, plus others who wanted to offer her help but she chose differently. .
I should stress that this is not part of my argument, what I’m arguing for is life conspiring against her when it need not have and her own weaknesses exacerbate her situation. The tragedy of her circumstances is not solely that she is a victim poor decisions but those decisions are born of cruel fate since life is nothing but the sum of responses to that which we call fate.
