Belle does deserve better be...Thanks for reading! <br /><br />Belle does deserve better because, while I think morality is relative, her ideals are worth striving towards and unless Rumple has a total and complete change, Belle is doomed to forever be in his dark shadow. I'm not sure that fits with the "hope" thesis of the show. <br /><br />Rumple will either have to die a villain/antihero or live as a completely altered person, 100% free from the darkness and desire for power. And sad to say, the latter seems impossible at this point.

Her pathological obsession with living up to certain ideals has led her to be attracted to Gaston and Rumple, and as this episode shows they're pretty much the same type of guy: both human and beast. I think Rumple's demise by the end of the series is inevitable, and this episode drives that home further: Belle's love life is doomed to failure, and that's depressing. She deserves better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
