Loving a Shadow: Every time she talks to Cinderella, she sighs after the handsome Prince... but this is mostly envy for the glamorous life she associates with Princes; she later realizes her husband has many princely qualities of his own.
Your Cheating Heart: Shows minor signs of this throughout the show, longing for every prince she sees though already married. After she does commit adultery with Cinderella;s prince, she spends her last song basically trying to justify her actions to herself.
Karma Houdini: In a way, much of the second act is Jack's fault. Even though just about everyone is guilty in some way, he repeatedly stole from the house of the Giantess who gave him shelter. The last time simply because someone he had probably never met before didn't believe that he had done it. The only real punishment for him was the fact his mother died during the events of the second act.
Only Sane Woman: The Witch has elements of this in Act Two, when she shows herself to be the only person who understands the gravity of the situation, and the unpleasant things that may need to be done to solve it.
Could Have Avoided This Plot: When the characters try to offer the Narrator to the Giantess as a sacrifice, the Narrator reminds them that the story would be lost if he was obliterated. Regardless of this, however, the Witch gives the Narrator to the Giantess anyway, and as soon as the Giantess sees that the Narrator isn't Jack, the Narrator is dropped spoiler:from the Giantess' hand and killed. Possibly concerned of the subsequent events of the story without the Narrator, the Baker's Wife points out: "We might have thought of something else."
Actually, it's the Witch that does it right after the other characters realize how lost they would be without him. See above for details.
The Runaway: Several new productions turn the narrator into a young boy instead of a grown man with the addition of a new Book Ends story where he runs away to live in the woods after a fight with his father. Said father is revealed to be played by the same actor as The Baker and is the one who told the boy the story in the first place.
Cinderella
What's the good in being kind if everyone is blind, and you're always left behind?
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Finally tells off the Witch for sticking her in a tower all her life, abandoning her, blinding her Prince, and generally being a jerkass.
Royals Who Actually Try To Do Something: He never actually finds the Giant, but besides Cinderella herself he's the only member of the royal family to actually get off his ass and go looking for her.
"That boy stole our gold, our hen, and our harp. Then he killed my husband! I must avenge the wrongdoing."
Anti-Villain: Most of the deaths she causes are accidents and if she were human, Jack would have been thrown into a dungeon for the things he did to her and her husband.
Blind Without 'Em: She loses her glasses and can't look for Jack by sight.
Hypocrite: He defends his killing of Jack's mother as being necessary for the greater good, but when witch suggests that it's in his line of duty to sacrifice his life, he immediately declares that he's not dying for anyone.
