Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin Character Analysis

I got that if Emma died the curse would automatically be broken, not that she hadto be killed. I took it as the curse can still be broken if she lived, but if she did by chance get killed then it’s null and void, sort of like a contract. I don’t think I explained that well, but the gist is that she doesn’t have to die for the curse to break. It’s already starting to weaken and the queen is scared that she can break it. That’s why she didn’t want to kill her, just put her into a coma-like existance.

Ohh, Regina’s “So there” did put his hackles up. He looked like he wanted to @#$%^-slap her there when she rubbed his face in it. Just wait until next week when Belle makes an appearance. I sooooo hope there is interaction between her and Gold, and then Regina and Gold afterward. If Regina has a bit of magic left because of the objects she brought with her, then Gold has a whole storehouse full of magic.

I like the idea that Rumpel possibly placed a safety clause in the curse. It may just be a way to keep the savior safe. But I can’t but think maybe not. Mr. Gold wants the curse broken presumably so that he can leave Storybrooke and find Bae. So…ugh, I’m so confused. 😆

And, um, yeah…Regina’s gonna get it when Mr. Gold finds out about Belle. Like…REALLY GET IT. 😮 😮 😮 Right now, my main theory is that Regina offers up Belle in an effort to get Mr. Gold to reset the curse. He and Belle have a brief but touching reunion, and then BOOM. The effects of the newly reset curse take effect and she forgets everything and Regina takes her back to the asylum. And then next season, Mr. Gold will be spending his time trying to save two people. Baelfire and now Belle. 😥

Good theory. I could easily see the Mr.Gold and Belle having a reunion and then being quickly punished somehow by having their memories erased. And I also agree that Mr. Gold is going to have 2 goals to aspire to next season. Finding Baelfire and protecting Belle. I think season 2 will put Mr. Gold back on the road to redemption. He needs to fight for something. He needs to have something or someone to love and protect. It brings out the best in him.

What’s been bothering me since this last episode is Gold’s little speech about Regina planning a trip of her own because when the townspeople find out who she is they’re going to be out for her. Well, isn’t the same thing true for Gold? Shouldn’t he be worried. Sure, we love him and know he’s redeemable, but the last place he was in Storybrooke was in the dungeon jail. I’m worried they’ll try to lock him up again. I know he’s planning a trip, but what if he can’t leave town? Will that promise from Emma come into effect, or will his help in the MM affair steer the way into them not crucifying him. Plus, the townspeople are all scared of him anyway. What’s to say they won’t revolt against him.

On a side note, and totally off-topic, Eternal Flame, everytime I see your name I start singing the Bangles song. I can’t get it out of my head now.

LOL! 😆 Thanks for the compliment…. I think. 😆

Yeah, Mr. Gold didn’t seem the least bit nervous about him being found out by the rest of the town. Of course, we could easily explain away his cool exterior by saying he’s planning on escaping, but there’s probably more. Rumpel has always managed to get himself out of trouble. Even when he’s caught red-handed. Emma caught Mr. Gold right in the middle of beating Moe French, but he easily got the charges dropped immediately after. He’s a sneaky little one. He always knows his way out a difficult situation. Even back in Fairytale land when he was finally captured by Cinderella and placed in the cell, he didn’t panic or plead for an escape because he knew the curse was coming and he’ll be free no matter what. The man’s go skills.

I don’t think he’s concerned about the town folk discovering who is. He’s not even in the book. However wrote that book, intentionally kept Rumpelstiltskin out of the story. That’s why I tend to lean towards either Mr. Gold or Baelfire writing the book. Even though it would be difficult for Baelfire to have written it. He wasn’t around when the stories in the book took place. But I would like to know why Rumpel isn’t in the book. The book makes Regina look like the primary villain and NO ONE ELSE. I can’t help but think that Someone Mr. Gold loves or Mr. Gold himself wrote the book. The way the book is writeen benifits Mr. Gold way too much. It’s almost as if someone was trying to protect Rumpel by leaving him out of the book.

And even if Rumpel is in the book, I’d be a little disappointed that Henry wasn’t able to figure ut out. He’s able to figure out that a cricket is Dr. Hopper and a wolf is Ruby, but he can’t figure out who Mr. Gold is? Not buying it. So, I refuse to believe that Henry is that dense. He’s a smart little boy. He would have figured it out by now. So, I’m 99% sure that Rumpel isn’t in the book.

I’ve been thinking the exact same thing for quite some time now. Whoever decided to leave Rumpel’s story out of the book either did to protect him or because their incompetent. Either way, I’m happy. 😆

There seems to be some confusion over why Mr. Gold was planning a trip. I’m pretty sure his trip is about finding Baelfire? I’ve read so many theories on why Mr. Gold wants to leave town, but I think the answer is pretty simple: To find Baelfire.

What if Rumple used magic to create the book? Maybe a spell was able to write down all of the charcters memories into it. This would explain how he got everyones personal details. Plus, *insane theory alert* maybe the reason Regina did not simply destory the book (which would prevent Henry from knowing about FTL) is because it would have badly affected everyone in SB.

Do you think Mr. Gold is planning a trip to Phukat (aka Pleasure Island)? If not, where do you think he’s planning to go?

[charming]

I think he is leaving the same reason he tells Regina to leave. If everyone remembers who they are, they are going to be out for blood. Gold may not be in the book but they will remember who he is. Baelfire is just a side mission at this point, survival is a primary mission. Curse breaks they can come and go from SB and everyone will be all over Gold and Regina like white on rice.
