This was actually Brookenstories idea, but since he doesn’t post as often *cough*…
Rumple and Regina both agree that love is the most powerful magic, and there is a more than possible theory that when Rumple bottled love, he (or Regina, whichever) used it to create the curse, making the curse extremely powerful and impervious to love, meaning that because love created the curse, it cannot be broken by love.
In this case, what can break the curse, if anything?
Maybe the opposite- hate.We know that Emma is the only person in the town who has the ability to break the curse (except maybe Regina herself). She and Regina already basically hate eachother. As the EQ, we all know Regina is capable of hate; she tried to make poor little Snow’s life miserable. As for Emma: she loves Henry, her son, who Regina is preventing her from seeing. Plus, Regina hasn’t exactly been nice to Emma, and we know Emma has responded in kind.
So, maybe Regina’s hate of Emma and vice versa is what will break the curse.
Then of course, there’s the possibility of Gold’s hate for Regina, and vice versa. But I’ll let you guys start on that one… 😀
[adrotate group="5"]I still like that idea that Emma believing, truly believing, is the initial break of the curse as in people will remember though still be stuck in the real world.
That’s true, but will Emma (and/or everyone) believing really break the curse? Yeah, the curse makes them forget. But it also takes away magic, right?
It’s an interesting idea, only … What kind of message is that? Breaking a curse with HATE? KiTsis&Horowitz themselves said this show is about mothers and hope. The last thing they would try to get across, is that a dark feeling like hate could break such painful curse … 😐
What about forgiveness breaking the curse? There are a lot of people carrying around cartfuls of baggage so pretty much everybody has something to forgive, or be forgiven for. And then there is the issue of forgiving yourself. What about Regina forgiving Snow, and vice versa. What about Kathryn forgiving David. Belle and/or Bae forgiving Rumplestiltskin. Rumple forgiving Zoso. James forgiving his father, King Whatshisname. Henry forgiving Emma for giving him up. Emma forgiving herself. The list goes on and on.
True love is named as the most powerful magic of all, but I suggest that forgiveness is even more powerful.
I think that is right weedith. There will be something of forgiveness in the true breaking of the curse. That Regina will forgive Snow in some way.
I think weedith is right. I think forgiveness is going to be a big part of breaking the curse but I also think that understanding the love of a child is also going to play right along with that. And I think the story of Regina and Snow White is an example of how the two of those things go hand-in-hand on this show. Everyone agrees that Regina is completely misguided in blaming SW for Daniel’s death but the thing that struck me in the last episode is that I truely think, had Daniel not existed, Regina and Snow would have had a very close relationship – despite that fact that Regina had a hideous role model of a mother.
It’s interesting to me how much of this show is driven by the choices the characters have made because they believe they are acting in the best interest of their children – regardless of whether they are making that choice from a good or evil place, and regardless of whether that choice ends up having a positive or negative outcome for themselves or for their children.
I think that Rumple was able to maintain some of his humanity after he became the Dark One because he still had a son and became the Dark One as a direct result of trying to save his son. Regina on the other hand, wasn’t able to maintain any of her humanity when she became evil – she didn’t have a child to love that would give her a reason to fight to maintain whatever part of her humanity she might still have been able to identify with. I think that is part of the reason that Gold brought Henry to Regina. I believe that he is going to try to redeem Regina as well as himself in breaking the curse, and that in order to do so Regina needs to experience a sacrificial kind of love. I think it is the icing on the cake that the child that she loves is SW’s grandson – I think that is where the forgiveness will come from.
