Several Evil characters have been converted from the dark side, notably Regina, the Evil Queen. In last night's finale, she confessed how hard it is for her to resist the darkness within her and lamented how falling in love and trying to be good have brought her more suffering than joy. Yet she resolves to continue resisting the darkness because she would rather suffer pain than revert to what she was and cause harm to people she has come to care for. (She even decides to magically split off and destroy her dark-side self, with -- as the audience might have predicted -- not quite the results she hoped for.)Margaret Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08293021955480708191noreply@blogger.com
