I agree with A Grimmster. Hexenbiests aren't by nature evil or anything. Its just their impulses and instincts push them towards more negative traits, like vanity, selfishness, lack of empathy, manipulation, ambition etc.

Now obviously said traits can be overcome, just not completely ignored. Elizabeth was clearly still plenty vain, somewhat amoral and light heartedly manipulative. Nevertheless she clearly was able to keep all her negative traits firmly under control.

Adalind hasn't really got that, she's done terrible things, both as and as not a Hexenbiest. But when she doesn't have the Hexenbiest instincts, its presumably a lot easier.
