Not confusing them, just bending the Snow White and Rose Red story a bit 😀 I know everyone was all “happy happy, we’re all friends” in this tale. But lets face it- happy happy ..is a bit boring.
These two sisters both befriended a bear that turned out to be a prince. Snow White married the Prince and Rose Red had to ‘settle’ for the brother, who wasn’t even a part of the fairytale till the end, where he was needed so that Rose Red wouldn’t be left out in the cold. This story wasn’t going to venture in to the land of sister rivalry, that was not what it was about. But I for one can easily see it’s possibilities of going there- but maybe I’m just being cynical 😉
Also these sisters had a relation with a little angry dwarf- this is where Rumple enters in to the story, he probably had something to do with why the sisters, Eva and Cora ended up at eachothers throats, so to speak.
Alright, but I would call that bending the tale a lot. There is not a hint of jealousy between the two in the fairy tale. As much as a story can be changed, I prefer to stick to the core of the characters, in this case the core of the sisters is being good, loving and caring persons. Doubt they would lose it that much even with someone like Rumple involved. Just can’t see Cora in any of them.
And there are enough fairy tales of jealous sisters, half-sisters, step-sisters. Let’s say, I find it nice, that Snow White and Rose Red for a change is not about jealous female relatives, so I am especially reluctant to let this fairy tale be changed into that direction. 😉
Of course, taking reality of European royal and noble houses in account, chances are high, that Cora and Eva are in some way related by birth or marriage. 😆
