Just look at how shocked he is…he can’t believe someone could actually like him for himself. Someone who likes him as poor orphan Eugene Fitzherbert. Rapunzel is beginning to break through the hard walls he’s put up around himself and his heart all his life. He was “selfish” and “vain” because not only did nobody ever care for him, he had never cared for anybody either. He was never presented with the opportunity to and didn’t know how to love and care for someone. But Rapunzel sees his kindhearted and vulnerable self instead. She knows he wasn’t always this way. He’s trusted her enough to open up to her (to anybody) for the first time and now she knows his story. Eugene is starting to feel like himself again and learning how to love, all because of Rapunzel. I just love this moment.
