Top Comments of this video!! :3
I surprised how no one had brought up Hanselās design. It is a rat with rings, another name for a pigeon. In some peopleās eyes, theyāre easy to overlook. To others, they can be an unwanted sight. Theyāre seen as dirty, useless and diseased, when in reality theyāre gentle and clean (thus the part of him thatās appealingly sweet)

I think itās interesting that Gretelās song hardly mentions her brother, and you would have to hear his song to even know she had one and their relationship . But Hanselās song mentions her directly as a point of suffering. Showing how obsessed he is over the attention she gets, he even says her source of struggle is her āpity schemeā.

Hansel is seen walking more faster and more aggressive while gretel is walking slow and soft, Hansel has a lot of bouncy sounds and expressive singing while gretel has a gloomy melody and a sad singing
Hansel wanted attention
Gretel wanted to be alone
And they finally got what they wanted after they died

Iām guessing Hansel would be jealous of his sister because sheād get all the attention because she was viewed as ugly, and sheād get hurt for that. Meanwhile he didnāt get any and would do ANYTHING to get attention. He just wants to be remembered. Since heād do anything, he starts doing dangerous stuff and hurts himself. He doesnāt care that heās harming himself, because he was never given enough attention until now. Heās never given attention even as he starts doing all of that. He likes his own funeral because he was finally given some attention. Give this man a hug.
Man If anything Iād try being friends with him

Did anyone notice how they are walking in different directions?
It could be the way Hansel walks to a loud, messy death with lots of attention and publicity.
While Gretel walks the opposite way, to a quiet death in a dark place. She is finally ālostā/ignored.
I donāt know Iām probably speculating about something that the creator didnāt mean

This feels like hurting yourself for attention and affection. The end is suicide, and why isnāt everyone happy? They never cared anyways. āMy name etched on a rock,ā the grave, āall I wanted was to talkā all I wanted was your affection, and, to talk. If Iām correct then this is pretty relatable

Here's an interesting little motif I noticed:
In Gretel's song, she says this:
"When I say green, you think of cheese, but in my mind I'm picturing fresh tangerines". The cheese could represent death and decay, whereas the fresh tangerines could represent life and hope.
In Hansel's song, he mentions "green alligators" (wishing they had eaten Gretel) and a "green luscious island" (not sure about this one). He also says "just like flies are drawn to the rotting cheese, are sadists attracted to misery, in this case it's another word for me". Seeing as Gretel explicitly says in her song "no, I'm not a masochist" and sadism and masochism go hand in hand, I think this implies Hansel sees himself as a masochist and sees Gretel as a sadist, who enjoys watching him suffer.
This is all probably a bit of a stretch, but I figured I'd share it anyway!
Edit: A couple of things I missed--
In one line, Hansel quite literally says "though pain's rather tasty." How did I miss that?
Green is the color of envy. Gretel's hat is green, and Hansel's fur is green as well.
In the beginning of Gretel's song, it sounds like she's playing pretend, maybe as a child, or reflecting how her song sounds very childish. Is Hansel the older brother? It sounds like they used to get along, too: "will you guide me?" Says Gretel, and Hansel says "yes, of course." But also, she says "was I born to be tortured?" As she says this, a smaller, quieter voice sings along to this. Definitely Hansel!
There's so much more I could speculate and theorize on, but I'm trying to keep this comment focused to prevent it becoming too long and unreadable. Feel free to add your ideas in the replies :)

2:42 I think I finally understand what this line means. The āgreen luscious islandā heās referring to is the ground beneath him when heās high up preforming his dangerous stunts, and the ādiamondsā that cover it are actually lights from houses and buildings and such.

Thereās such a stark difference in content with Hansel and Gretelās songs. If you only watch Hanselās, youād think Gretel is a attention seeker who purposely takes the spotlight from her brother who needs help, but if you watch Gretelās youād see the attention sheās given is because people think sheās a freak due to her condition. I find it fitting that Hansel turned into a ghost (him being able to see his own funeral and even the memorial they made for him) while Gretel ended up in Hell with the monsters (Referencing that sheās somewhere with cannibals, and in the beginning of her song she asks why sheās in Hell). Both siblings wanting opposite things, when this all couldāve been avoided had they just looked towards each other for comfort. Hansel wouldāve understood the reason for Gretelās attention and even wouldāve gotten attention from her, While Gretel could be around someone who doesnāt view her as a monster and instead a person.
