I did so love this character in the movie...she reminds me of ursula from the little mermaid and she has something of maleficient too...defenetely a great villain!!!
There are plenty of Disney Villains that just don't work for me because they're too simple, being evil just for the sake of being evil (why yes Malficent, you are the Queen of Darkness, it is very simple). Mother Gothel isn't simple, she's complex. Although it seems at first like she only loves Rapunzel for her hair, I think it becomes very clear that she loves Rapunzel as a daughter of her's as well. Plus, who knows what she was like before she found that flower.
It should also be mentioned that in the Brothers Grimm story, she actually didn't die. It was simply because she loved her stepdaughter too much that she locked Rapunzel in that tower.
