Rumpel may not threaten people up front, but he does get them to make a deal with him because they are desperate and then the cost he asks for is way too high. He isn’t innocent in this. To ask for someone’s firstborn child in exchange for a dress and some glass slippers seems pretty steep. And to trick her by not saying that up front does not seem innocent to me.
[adrotate group="5"]When did he get anyone to make a deal with him? I don’t remember it. From what I remember they come to him or summon him. It’s not like he’s chasing them around the Fairyland to force into something.
The fact that they are desperate doesn’t exempt them from responsibilty for the choices they make. They are informed about the cost, whether high or not, and they can always say no. When they are about to get what they want, they don’t seem to be interested so much in the other end of the deal. The realization comes later and suddenly it turns out that someone else ruined their lives. I sense some hypocrisy in that line of thinking.Mickey your question reiterates my point which is he does not make anyone make any deal. That is the point. If you go to see Rumple you are going to make the deal you intended to make. How many poeple have gone to him and tell them their problems or rather he tell them what their problems are and have said no deal and left with no deal. None. Every single person who dealt with him has made a deal and none have walked away saying to themselves he is full of it I will handle the problem myself. Once again no one has. I cannot name anybody FTL or Storybrook who has turned him down for a deal after approaching him. However, Emma has turned him down when he went to her only to return to Mr. Gold.
All i am saying is that Rumpel is not innocent in his deals. He is asking for too much without telling them that is what he is asking for. It isn’t like he makes good, clean, helpful deals. No. He makes it hurt and without telling them ahead of time what he is really asking for.
True. Very true. There is a disclaimer everytime though. He does say magic comes with price. He also says you do have a choice. Besides you should never say you will do anything when you see Rumple for that is when the deal really burns. You also never sign a contract with Rumple without reading it nor do you renege on a deal too, Cinderella did. King George and Cindy both said they will also do anything too. Yes I do agree with you 100% I am not doubting what you are saying. But we cannot give the people who go to Rumple willing more than once any credit. If you see him once and the deal is not so good and never go back that is another story. Red has never said his name nor have seen him… that we know of so far. she does have her own problems but anyways.
There are some who blame Snow for telling Cora about Regina and Daniel. And sure, she’s old enough to know how to keep a secret, and I am sure she would have kept it if not for the fact that she’s too kind and trusting. She couldn’t know what kind of a woman Cora is and how domineering and strong she is. She never sees Cora be mean to Regina, which would have made Snow keep the secret I am sure. All Snow sees is a mother who is not on too good terms with her daughter and who is concerned about her daugher. And Snow just wants to help.
Imagine if Cora was more like her husband. She would likely have had a chat with Regina and Daniel and arranged for them to go away together. Then we would be really happy that Snow told Cora. The only reason people blame Snow is because Daniel died.
Regina could easily have said “I know Snow meant well, I am not going to blame her” but she didn’t. And I really think it’s because of Cora’s influence on her. When you have a mother like Cora, you are not going to blame her for anything. It won’t be in you to stand up to the one who has always told what to do and who has been in total control of you your whole life. So Regina only blames Snow because she cannot blame her mother.
We don’t know what happened to Cora after Regina became queen, but it has been speculated that Regina had something to do with it. And that could be because Regina got to live away from her mother and got power of her own as queen. That could have given her strenght and independence to either kill or in another way punish her mother for killing Daniel.Snow was a girl at the time she did all of that. It does not matter how much mature they are back then or when they came of age or got married. She was a girl and a girl like any child does not really know the consequences of their actions but it does not excuse what she did because she did promise not to say. SNow did not take much convincing to spill the beans. It not as if Cora really had to beat it out of her but she was a little girl going up against a woman.
