Belle does deserve vengeance, as does everyone in the town, but it does depend on her treatment as well. We know that she was in the hospital for twenty eight years, but we don’t really know her treatment beforehand. She hadn’t been captured by the Queen right after she left (we are not even told if she was captured by the Queen in Fairytale world, though it is likely) and we don’t know what Regina did to her. Of course being locked away for years is torture enough.
Also, something that I noticed, Belle’s Counterpart has either been heavily dressed (last episode with a long-sleeved shirt under her hospital gown and a thick coat) or she has never been seen fully (end of Skin Deep, she was curled up and the room was dark). It does pose the question if maybe she was hurt in some physical way that would leave scars. I know a lot of popular theories are that either her father or the Queen hurt her, and remembering the anger in her tone when she said Regin’a name is enough to wonder.
I’m still not clear on what Regina did to Belle either. So far, it appears that all Regina did was kidnap Belle and lock her in a mental institution. And we’re still not entirely sure why. As the finale inched closer, I was expecting Regina to use the “Belle card” to make Rumpel do something for her. But she didn’t. So her keeping Belle locked up was just a flight of fancy as far I’m concerned. And it didn’t turn out very well for her either. All she did was make an even bigger enemy of Rumpel.
But to be honest, I have a feeling the reason why Regina kidnapped Belle was so the writers could keep Belle in the story. And hey, I’m not complaining. 😆
I’m almost positive that Regina kidnapping Belle was a plot device. They needed to keep Belle in the story, and they also needed to create a situation that would finally put Rumpel and Regina on opposite sides. But like you said, I’m not complaining. 😀
But then this whole situation makes Regina look kind of short-sided. If she wasn’t planning on using Belle as leverage, then why did she kidnap her in the first place? What’s the point? All it does is highlight the differences between Rumpel and Regina. Rumpel thinks before he acts. But Regina? Not so much.
