All villains have a somewhat sympathetic story but I felt so terrible for Gothel. She just wanted to have friends and she was so cute and friendly and then they turned on her. And then if that wasn't bad enough, they killed her entire family. It's not hard to wonder why she became so evil. As heartbreaking as her story is, it does not excuse everything she did after. She ruined the entire Tremaine family and her own daughter's early life, among other things. I don't excuse what she did, I just understand it. Some people have bad things done to them and manage to turn it to good. Some people become just as bad as what was done to them. Imagine you become friends with girls you have dreamed of becoming like. They accept you and make you think they like you and you're their friend. Then all of a sudden they dump mud on you, destroy your flower and call you a freak and abomination. And if that wasn't horrible enough, they murder your entire family and destroy your home. It's enough to drive anyone evil. The revenge? Perfectly understandable. Ruining definitely the life of an entire family of innocent people? Not so much. Worst, she should have understood what she was doing to Rapunzel, and that it was horrible and similar to what she lived herself.

Still like Gothel, she is a great villain ^^ Definitely a heartbreaking story, but still.
