Rumplestiltskin seems to serve the function of an adoption agency in a time and place when those didn't exist. Charming's parents couldn't support both boys, King George wanted a son, Rumple made it work for both families. When George needed another son, though only temporarily, we actually see the trade happen - Charming gets his farm saved and mother protected, George gets someone who looks like his son, and as a surcharge, Rumple gets... well, a wand, after killing the fairy. As far as Rumple was concerned, it was only supposed to be temporary - he wasn't the middleman when King George changed the terms and required Charming to marry Astrid. We see Rumple ask for at least two 더 많이 children in trade (Cinderella's and Cora's). Cora was special because her daughter was the only one who could cast Rumple's curse, therefore, he obviously wanted to ensure she would do so, probably raising her himself. He definitely wanted to raise her after Rumple and Cora got engaged. Regina is so atypical that we can pretty much ignore her, though. Cinderella's case was 더 많이 typical. Although 신데렐라 delayed her situation until after the curse was cast, we do see that Rumple was planning to adopt out the girl. He takes a good deal of money for his trouble in dealing with the three sides (Ashley, Sean and his dad, and the family adopting the child), but no one said he works for charity. Finally, there's the situation with Henry. Although he was the cursed Mr. Gold, he still had the same personality, and therefore we can still draw some insight from him getting Henry for Regina - it was very similar to what he had done for King George, too. This seems to be his pattern - when someone wants a child, he finds one that someone is willing to give a kid up, either through an agency like with Henry 또는 because of dire straits, like James and David's parents. Perhaps 더 많이 importantly, we see that Mr. Gold cares about whether Regina is ready for a child. He believes that 당신 must put your child first, no matter what. Perhaps that is the reason he deals in children - anyone who is willing to give a child up doesn't deserve them in the first place. He knows that better than most after losing his son. So, that's my thinking. Rumplestiltskin = expensive adoption agency. Thoughts?
