* ValuesDissonance: In the original version of the ballet Giselle commits suicide with Albrecht's blade, explaining why she's buried in unhallowed ground where the Wilis can reach her (at the time of the ballet's writing, [[ValuesDissonance suicide was a mortal sin]]). Later versions sanitised this element and had her die of a weak heart instead. So why is Giselle still buried in unhallowed ground? The implication is that the villagers think Albrecht seduced her. Either he did, or he never bothered to correct their assumption... which makes him a great deal less sympathetic, considering that in the time period of the story this would have ruined Giselle's life.

* MoralEventHorizon: It appears that the curse of the wilis only stays in effect if they had already danced a man to death; considering that [[spoiler:Giselle's refusal to let Albrecht die on her first night with the wilis causes their spell over her to be broken and allows her to pass on]], it's pretty clear that the other wilis have already crossed it before the start of the story. God only knows how many men they had murdered before [[spoiler:they intercepted Hilarion]]...
