Yes, that's what I like about the show. It gives you the perspective behind the scenes of the villain, so you can understand why they became evil. But at the same time, it also shows you the flaws of the villain's ability to have a positive future because they focus their energy on the negativity. Cora's flaws were her manipulation and greed for royalty and power; which ultimately led to her death because instead of being genuine to Regina in season two, she instead was using her to gain Rumple's dark power.
