I know he's done horrible things, I wish that I could hate him, but I just can't. He's the broken soul antihero/antivillain type, and I can't help, but sympathize with him. Maybe, it's because the actor does such a good job at making the character seem so fragile, passionate, loving, and broken, and then playing him so evil and cruel on the flip side as well;it's just that everytime he cries I want to hug him, but then everytime he does bad I want to shake him. Still, every bad thing he does is because he is such a broken, self-loathing, dark, cursed, and socially stigmatized coward. I wish the writers would do the character as much justice as RC does with Rumple. Overall, I guess you could say that I hate to love Rumple as a character.
