"Why would I enjoy this? No I'm not a masochist." kind of sounds like her response to Hansel, since in his song he says how Gretel is lucky getting so much attention.

I hope one day Gretel gets her mango smoothie and get to watch a very nice movie

[@moeshrooms385]

Don’t know if this is intentional or not but I enjoy how the siblings animations are in opposite directions, so if you put them side by side they’d be walking away from each other kind of symbolizing their bad relationship.

[@meepmorp8396]

You have the sister who gets too much attention she hates and a brother who would do anything to be seen. What a duality

[@DerpinDragoon]

I'm not sure if the knife attack is what killed her, overexposure, or taking her life using a mango pit (cyanide). Either way, after listening to Hansel, I was just waiting for the grim twist. And to add, great song!!!

[@pennycat6317]

There's a slightly disturbing factor to this that no one's considered yet. The song begins with Gretel describing her birth. Given the end it might imply she's stuck in an endless loop

[@godlymemes5384]

Yo this gretel girl seems really cool even if she looks a bit weird, I hope nothing happens to her.

[@Megaera2]

I like all the baking metaphors in Gretel's song, she's saying she was baked/born all wrong. It really starts to add up why they're named after children almost baked to death.

I realized something about Gretel and Hansel's songs. Gretel's song sounds like something that would get your attention, with the repeated cymbal taps, while Hansel's starts off more quiet and unlikely to get your attention. Meanwhile, at the end of Handel's song, he ends on a loud note, leaving a lasting impression, while in Gretel's song, she slowly fades out on a quiet note, leaving no impression. They both started with something they don't want, and ending with something they wanted

[@jamjar1726]

the sadness of both Hansel and gretel could have been avoided by a strong sibling dynamic.

[@Abugonsocialmedia]

My own theory of hansel and gretel is:

[@maramamia]

the fact that they have a lyric that goes like 'hey go and smother my brother'

[@wolfordragondemon]

I think it’s really interesting that Gretel seemingly really likes Fairytales and fictional stories, while her brother seems to really like Circuses and performances.

[@mikaelaperez7276]

something interesting i wanted to point out:

[@percival7532]

hansel mentions a blister on gretel's face.

[@moosenman]

I like to imagine she isn’t dead, at the end of the song she’s moved to a new town and while the community might think she’s weird looking, she’s perfectly fine living by herself.

[@ellies6297]

I'm wondering if Gretel has neurofibromatosis. It's basically a disorder where blister-like tumors can grow all over ones body. If you look up some pictures on google, you'll know what I'm talking about.

[@magpie8249]

since hansel and gretel are most likely named after the fairytale of the same name, and hansel mentions getting into candyland at the end of the song, the witches' house/"candyland" is probably symbolic of how they were treated post-mortem. they both only got what they wanted after the end of their life.

[@silly_little_scrunkly]

as someone who’s dealt with bullying, a skin condition, abuse, as well as having synesthesia,

[@fricc_picc]

my theory is that the fade implies their satisfaction/end of suffering, and that gretel didn’t actually die. hanzel’s fade was when his funeral was sung about, and he finally got the attention he wanted.
