And speaking of Cinderella, why hasn't she been made into an allusion to the Miller's Daughter? She actually went through with the whole "I'll give you my baby" thing, and was the reason Rumple was captured, like how Cora was the reason he died in the original fairytale. I mean we can talk about this and other things that could be allusions, but I think we need to talk about that in its own thread. Maybe we should redefine what exactly an allusion is in this franchise. 'Cause otherwise, I think we'll all be finding allusions till we're blue in the face.

Heck, Isaac (and thus indirectly the writers themselves) made it very clear that Cruella's life sounded like Cinderella's, making her a direct allusion to it... Y'know, before she showed how bonkers she was.
