When I saw the last episode, I got a weird revelation in my head. It's not perfect, but it is interesting. There has to be some major motivation behind Cora's evil heart. Everyone else has one. Perhaps she does too. When she mentioned the part about being left a Miller's daughter to Snow's mom, that's when this popped into my head. Maybe the two were sisters, simple Miller's daughters. The Prince of the time was looking for a princess. Cora really wanted to be the Queen, but Snow's mother (her sister perhaps) won in the end. As a result, Cora not only became hellbent on securing that power, but also on destroying the universal maxim that good and the pure of heart always win. Then I took it even further... what if the Queen was Cinderella and Cora was one of the evil stepsisters.? But perhaps instead of an evil stepsister, she was a relatively benign sister who felt slighted when she lost her shot at true love and/or power? It would also contribute to this peculiar fascination she has with turning Snow's heart black and ruining the Queen's legacy. Maybe this is some long family feud to secure for Regina a true victory over Snow White to make up for her loss to the Queen. They don't necessarily have to be related for that to be the case, but given the turns OuaT's been making lately... Just thoughts, but wouldn't it be interesting?
