Youre welcome. And its clear to me from the thoughts in your post that you are not a Regina hater. I LOVE the Regina character, she has been my favorite all since the pilot (though for different reasons then 😉
To me the most tragic thing about her is that she kept making the same wrong choices, choices being the keyword, and therebye putting other people in the same horrible situation as she was herself, in a sense punishing the World for her own troubles. Take the Hansl and Gretl story as an example, she made them hopelessly lost in the giant unending Woods, like she herself was lost. to me it was like a methaphor for her own situation. Having noone who was ever able to find her. But punishing other people for your own trouble, is ofcourse never the best way to go about Things…
She is finally making better choices. And I love that. I think what bothers me abit is the way they portray Snows character next to her. Snow is too apologetic, for Regina, but for herself in particular (please dont say sorry and try to kill yourself everyother day Snow) and something about it just feels wrong. But I have a hard time really pinpointing what it is exactly.
