* AgeGapRomance: Hoffmann is at least a decade older than Antonia, who is first seen playing with him as a toddler. [[WifeHusbandry 18 years later, they're together.]] (This element is unique to this adaptation. In the original ''Rath Krespel'' story, the narrator only meets Antonia a few years before her death, [[PosthumousCharacter long after the passing of her mother).]]
