She can be emotionally manipulative and commit unspeakable acts such as kidnapping a child for the sake of her family. Snow's darkness is what makes her interesting and my favorite character in the show. What Isaac made her do to Mal and Lily. That does not count at all. Here's the proof of that (Jane the writer confessed she made a mistake in saying only the Apprentice was made to doing it): https://mobile.twitter.com/nickyaiuto1/status/824611608299200512 Which proves and hints that she didn't do it in her own free will and that Isaac made it for her with his pen. And besides Snow and Charming got mother and daughter back together (after Emma's failure because when Lily was leaving Storybrooke) and arrested the real culprit who made them do it. Isaac did indeed "set them in the path", as Jane says, but he didn't force them to do it. In 4x16, Snow clearly takes responsibility for her actions. Unlike the Apprentice, she had no memory of being controlled by someone else. The Author set up the situation, but he only actively controlled the Apprentice. Not according to the proof and hint of the link I gave you. And on the contrary, whenever anyone is under a spell like the curse, they remember the events like they do in the dark curse such as the one night stand thing. She only feels responsible for the incident and yet she said two times two each episodes in Heart of Gold and Operation Mongoose part 2 that he did so make them and knew so too. Which shows she does have memory of him writing her to doing it. What Jane cofessed proved opposite. Her way of saying st them on a path is her way of relating to how an author writes a character like how George Lucas set Anakin on a path to be turned to the dark side of the force and become Darth Vader. And Isaac already confessed in the end when arrested that he was full responsible for it and why he did this to him.

What the Author said 4x23 is the same thing Jane said, the Author set them in the path for kidnapping Lily. Again, does not mean he controlled them. The fact that the Apprentice is aware of the fact he was being controlled whereas Snow and David weren't largely implies they did what they did on their own free will. Regardlessly, this isn't the thread to discuss this and I'll speak no further about the subject.
