Fate has been cruel to almost ALL of the characters, yet few reach her level of evil acts. I’m not sure what you are trying to say that “life need not have conspired against her!” Not true there’d be no story in that! I guess you’re concentrating on the set of choices she gets, and I’m looking at what she actually picked, because I note her set of choices wasn’t so limited as to be no choice at all.
Last word from me:
Fate is cruel to the characters yes, but in Regina’s case Rumple had her manipulated to be so evil that she would be able to accomplish the curse to satisfy his desire and knowing the weaknesses of her character he naturally preyed on those. And since Regina’s faith and trust in others had been broken after the events of Stable Boy and the Doctor its only natural that she made the choices she did and would see them largely as Hobson choices. Now if there was another child born to Cora who was supposed to cast the curse but was hidden from Rumple’s knowledge and Rumple knew only of Regina then as I’ve stated previously he would only be seeing what could be and not what was to be. Most of the stories in Greek mythology have fate conspiring against all the characters hero and villain alike its complex but yet the pathos draws us in as does Regina’s pathos precisely because her fate has turned out as it has and not as it may have turned out otherwise.
