* AdaptationalHeroism: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While she ''does'' betray Hoffmann, Dapertutto has to talk her into it, and relies on Magic and bribery for her continuing collaboration. This is a big change from the original story, where Giulietta herself seemed to also be an evil demon who only ever ''pretended'' to Love the protagonist.

* AdaptationalHeroism: A ''very'' mild case, but he "only" plays with the lives of those directly related to the actual conflict. Unlike his lirerary counterpart, he never encourages the protagonist to murder his innocent family, which he claimed would bring back his reflection.

* BadBoss: He has no qualms about helping Hoffmann kill Schlemil.

to:

* BadBoss: He has no qualms about helping Hoffmann kill Schlemil. In one version of Act 3 he magically manipulates Hoffmann’s sight, making the poet stab Pitichinaccio instead of Giulietta. In yet another version of the act’s ending he deliberately stages Giulietta’s death at Hoffmann’s hands.


Added DiffLines:

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: One production of Act 3 ends with Dapertutto using sorcery to place his sword at Hoffmann’s hand and then pushing Giulietta onto it. He even directly says “I have no use for Giulietta now” while doing it.

* TruerToTheText: Robert Helpmann's 1951 portrayal of him is ''much'' closer to Hoffmann's Dappertutto than Werner Krauss' take on the character. He is once more a supernatural being making deals with vulnerable people. His lanky frame and staring eyes fit his in-story description, as does his hooded cloak (though it was originally red, not dark green.) Having him share said cloak with Mirakel -- and having them both ([[CompositeCharacter and Coppélius]]) remove masks to reveal the same face -- mostly undoes them being a DecompositeCharacter.
