Here is the model for true love, healthy relationship and strong female character. And thats why you don't pay attention to actors....oh wait, they provide valuable insight!

It's not the dying for love part that is relevant, it's the fact that she'd die for love, leaving Henry without her. That's stupid. Even Snow sacrificed herself on faith, risking her and her baby's life, but here JMO is saying Emma would sacrifice herself just because she wants Twu Lurv. And if Emma killed herself it wouldn't even match Snow and David's moment, it would just be suicide.
