Things are about to get real nasty on ABC’s fairy tale drama Once Upon A Time, now the Frozen Snow Queen (Elizabeth Mitchell) has unleashed her spell of shattered sight. Where Emma Swan might be immune to the effects of the spell, that doesn’t mean that she doesn't all about hardships. Recently, Emma Swan actress, Jennifer Morrison opened up about how the curses on the show, reflect real world problems.
It seems like every time you turn around there is another curse cloud hanging over Storybrooke. Well Jennifer Morrison has perfectly good explanation for why that is, telling Entertainment Weekly:
“Fairy tales are not literal.They are very metaphorical, and they are very representative of other things...In order to be real with Emma, I have to look at it representationally. I see the curses and spells and all the crises that come our way--the snow monsters and witches and all those things -- as representative of the things that come our way that are hard in life: illness, death, exams, fights with loved ones, breakups. All those things are, in real life, what would be a curse or spell in Storybrooke.”
Just like in the real world, the crises and curses that we face are easier to handle if we are surrounded by the people we love, as Morrison adds:
“Yes, we have to bond together to fight these major things, but it’s just like a family has to bond together to fight cancer, or deal with a death in the family, or a parent losing a job, or not getting into the school you want to.”
