I suspect, in the end, she will learn her lesson about the value of life and death. As I said elsewhere, the GoL could have sent Oz back as an immortal or in the same body, but instead Oz came back facing mirror images that were not his own and finds himself leaping from life to life, hoping to put right what once went wrong. Living out so many lives and being caught up in them as he was, Oz has a unique perspective on the whole matter. He is immortal in a sense, like Salem, yet he has also experienced death many times in many lives from many perspectives. Oz is also, in the end, Salem's great love and so understands her on a personal level. My supposition is the GoL figured he would not be able to succeed in his first life or in many others, but that over time he would develop the perspective and wisdom necessary to get through to Salem as only he could ever manage.
