** The Witch's [[AbusiveParents abuse of Rapunzel]] is a case of RealismInducedHorror. She imprisons her in the tower against her will, makes her dependent on her for food and drink, tells her that other people ([[DoesNotLikeMen especially men]]) can't be trusted, calls her ungrateful when she dares to want another human companion, and even slaps her during an argument in one scene. Yet all the while, she makes a show of loving Rapunzel and tells her it's all for her own good.
