“I warn you child……. If I lose my temper, you lose your head!”
Each individual has the ability to be a good person, it is almost impossible for someone to be truly evil to the core.

Even though it appears that I am referring to two people, the obvious is not always true when it comes to mythical individuals. The Evil Queen and Regina Mills may be the same person, but due to a dark curse that was put on the Enchanted Forest, their lives are completely different from the way their kingdom/town are overseen, how they feel about love and family values.…

The two books Alice in Wonderland and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court explore this desire to alter one’s surroundings.…
