One of this show's greatest strengths is its ability to reinvent classic characters from Fairy Tales and Disney into characters that are more like real people instead of stock archtypes. Traditionally these characters are very flat and very black-and-white (good guys and bad guys are bad guys without a lot of explanation why). Good and evil still exist, make no mistake about that. These characteres have so many layers, but what ultimately defines them is their choices. They make bad choices, some more than others, but they also have chances for redemption.
