She in a way, is trying to force his love to her. If she really loved him she would try to fix there relationship the good old fashioned way. By PROVING that she regrets the choice she made and showing him that she does love him and wants him. Love is true, its not magic
That’s true, but it COULD have been worse and she could have just done the direct “make someone fall in love with you” option. At least with the “change the past” option, it’s in a time where Will did love her of his own free will.
But I do agree that she’s going about it the wrong way and should try to improve the present on her own rather than fix the past with magic.
Jafars actions are slightly better.
….You lost me. Jafar has been consistently FAR WORSE in his actions than Anastasia: mass murder, brutal torture, mental and emotional manipulation…I’m not sure what you were trying to get at with this statement, but it really came out wrong.
That’s really well put. The difference for me is that Jafar never had his father’s love in the first place and was cruelly used and abused. Ana had Will’s love, his devotion. He did everything for her, including going to WL.
Which is why Jafar’s end-goal is less sympathetic to me. Jafar may want his father’s love, but he should understand that if his father won’t give it, then his father just isn’t worth it. Rumple probably wants his father’s love, but you don’t see him trying to get it after realizing his father is incable of it. Jafar should kill the bastard and be done with it.
I think Ana wants to change the laws of magic to use on herself because she is envious of all those people who are totally happily in love. She doesn’t love Will but wishes she did, and her confession this week was a bit of a smoke screen for that. She thinks Will is a great catch, and it confuses and frustrates her that she’s never felt head-over-heels in love with him.
…..Er, NO.
Anastasia isn’t a sociopath, this isn’t Regina we’re talking about here. Not only did Cyrus, who can read wishes and desires, say she was being truthful, but it’s blatantly obvious that Ana DID really love Will and still really does. She was and is head-over-heels in love with him, her giving into weakness and choosing wealth and power over him doesn’t change that.
Hell, your theory falls completely apart because it assumes her confession is a cover-up and she still wants to keep her wealth and power…but if that was the case, then why the bloody Hell (couldn’t resist) would she find Will “a great catch” when he has neither to his name? Why go to all this trouble for him?
Sorry, but your post just boggles my mind. It’s pretty clear in the writing and in Emma Rigby’s acting that there’s no secret agenda: what you saw is what you get. Ana loves Will, she made a mistake and traded him for high status, and now regrets it and wants to undo it.
