Intro…
Once Upon A Time’s main theme is love, hope and family. True love especially, is something the show does really well. In this show of magic and belief, true love is shown to be the most powerful magic of all, strong enough to break any curse or dark spell. This represents that love is strength. True love has broken sleeping curses for Snow White and Prince Charming, Sleeping Beauty and Prince Phillip and the Dark One’s curse for Rumplestiltskin and Belle, it truly can achieve anything. But in Once Upon A Time, true love isn’t always romantic love. In the Season 1 finale, when Emma Swan thinks there is no hope for her dying son Henry and she kisses him goodbye, it totally takes a new turn on true loves kiss.

True love also has limitations, for it cannot be forced. That’s the reason why true love’s kiss doesn’t work when somebody has lost their memory. Both people in the couple have to love one another for it to work. From Charming getting knocked out by Snow and Belle screaming in Rumplestiltskin’s face to Emma kneeing Hook in the groin, consent matters in Once Upon A Time. Women on this show don’t take it too kindly to being kissed without their consent, and that’s the way it should be. Hope is also part of this central idea of love. As Snow White/Mary Margaret says “fairytales are a reminder that things will get better if we just hold onto hope”. Whether it’s knowing that you will one day find your true love or holding on to that ray of hope that things will get better, fairytales have an amazing way of brightening anybody’s day, even in our lives. In a lot of ways, love is hope and is something to be fought for. Because love creates happiness and it’s what everybody wants. From the hope for love, hope for happiness, hope for a reunion with loved ones, and the hope that things will get better. No matter what life brings us, we must always hold onto hope. We must believe in the power of hope, and believe that it can get us through anything, because sometimes it feels like hope is all
