Difference between revisions of "Gruntilda"

Gruntilda's personality and actions resemble those of evil witches and other characters in fictional works. Her reason for kidnapping [[Tooty]] for her beauty is similar to the [[Wikipedia:Evil Queen|Evil Queen's]] motives in the tale of ''[[Wikipedia:Snow White and the Seven Dwarves|Snow White and the Seven Dwarves]]'', and her first lines in the game were even a parody of the Queen's famous "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?". Ironically, in the Walt Disney adaptation, the Witch falls to her doom and gets crushed by a boulder as does Gruntilda at the climax of the final battle from the first game (though unlike Gruntilda, the Queen does die). She also bears resemblance to the [[Wikipedia:Wicked Witch of the West|Wicked Witch of the West]] from [[Wikipedia:L.Frank Baum|L. Frank Baum's]] ''[[Wikipedia:The Wonderful Wizard of Oz|The Wonderful Wizard of Oz]]'' and its adaptations. Finally, her use of [[Dingpot|a cauldron]] and her two wicked sisters, [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]], resemble the wicked witches from [[Wikipedia:William Shakespeare|William Shakespeare's]] ''[[Wikipedia:Macbeth|Macbeth]]''.
