For general discussion on the Once Upon a Time character Regina Mills/Evil Queen.
Here are a few study questions to get the conversation started:
1. What was the Evil Queen’s reasoning behind choosing this particular curse?
She tried to kill Snow by hiring the huntsman (that backfired since he took pity on her), the poisoned apple didn’t work. The dark curse was probably her last option.

2. Does the Evil Queen know all of the details of the curse?
She may not. She knew the curse would create an existence where all happy endings would be stolen but she didn’t even know that Rumple would end up remembering his FT past, which is why he allowed him to have a good life and agree to his stipulation that she has to obey whenever he says, “Please.”

6. Why did Regina Mills choose to adopt a son?
I think the reason why adopted Henry is because she learned very quickly that what Maleficent said was true, enacting the Dark Curse will create a void she will never be able to fill. But the EQ, being a stubborn witch, decided to adopt Henry, thinking he could fill that void but I don’t think it really has.

7. What is the Evil Queen’s relation to Rumpelstiltskin?
I had a spin-off theory that she was Rumple’s original wife but I don’t think that’ll work anymore. From ‘Skin Deep’ though, it looked like they were ‘frenemies’ like how the EQ is frenemies with Maleficent.

8. Does Regina Mills know about Rumpelstiltskin’s dagger?
I hope not. I don’t want the EQ to have more power than Rumple.

11. Will Regina Mills/Evil Queen ever be fully redeemed?
I want Mr. Gold/Rumple to be redeemed but I’m not sure I like the idea of the EQ being redeemed. Some people are just innately evil. I think the EQ is pure evil. Plus, I don’t want to forget how she crushed Graham’s heart.
