We could also assume that the author of the book is on our side. What I mean is that the book portrays Queen Regina as evil. If the book had been written by one of the queen’s supporter or someone who is more morally ambiguous, the book would have portrayed Regina as misunderstood victim.
wich leads me to think, since the book is so completely Black VS White and Good VS evil, it was also probably written by a bystander (or a sideliner if you prefer) someone who was close enough to the situation to have the knowledge and yet distant enough not to be very aware of the nuances and possible variations.
I feel that the book, really is only one side of the story… in fact, it’s worst then that. It is one person’s (most likely) point of view on a very specific situation, with very little knowledge (in the grand scheme of things) on what really happened (assuming my previous guess was right).
IN THE END, IS THE BOOK THAT IMPORTANT? I ask myself. It led Henry to believe (yay!) It ultimately brought Emma to Storybrook (double yay!) But will it have any serious relevance in the future? that’s the question I’m interested in.
