So what will happen to Cass? My theory is that, like Varian, she will eventually be redeemed because this is a Disney show. I'm not exactly sure how.
One final point I want to make is that the series draws comparisons between Cass and Varian which juxtaposes them with Eugene and Raps.
Cass and Varian want to be admired by people. Cass sings about wanting cheers during "Waiting in the Wings", a song that relies heavily on theater conventions regarding center-stage. Varian wants his town, but especially his father, to regard him as the one who "saved the day" and to "come back triumphantly".
Raps and Eugene never sought adulation. Raps dream was to "see the glowing lanterns dream". Eugene's dream is Rapunzel herself - having a family and a home. Raps and Eugene have never sought power or prestige over others. All they have ever wanted are the simple things in life - a fun night of lantern gazing, someone to love them.
I'm not sure where the show is going with this, but I find it interesting nonetheless. The similarity between "Waiting in the Wings" and "Let Me Make You Proud" - Great Expotations even alludes to this!
>"Dads, am I right?"
>"Let me come through for you!"
>"When did you stop trusting my judgement?"
>"I'm gonna fix it! Just watch me!"
>"And so I keep on keeping on..."
>I know I make things a mess..."
>"While pretending that it barely stings..."
>"Anyone who stands or stood in my path they are going to pay."

Anyway, I'm done autistically rambling. Might rewrite this when I'm not cooking breakfast before work so it's actually legible to a person who isn't sleep deprived. Hope y'all like the artwork.
>owe him
When she made a deal with him and he fulfilled his end of the bargain, she certainly owned him.
>insulting my husband
MODS. MODS. MOOOOOOOOOOOOODS.

Yeah, I feel he's more 17 than 14. Jeremy Jordan's voice is like Dipper's in Gravity Falls. Way too deep for this tiny child man.
