Clearly, our decided little mermaid is in search of one other method to safe her spot subsequent to the prince, so she visits the ocean witch’s dwelling. And let me let you know, it’s miles extra foreboding than the Disney model.
Outdoors of the ocean witch’s realm and among the many shrubs and crops dwell polyps — outlined by Hans as half plant, half human — that attain for and seize something they will get their arms on.
Because the little mermaid approaches the witch’s residence, she dodges reaching arms and sees the bones of fallen seamen, in addition to different little mermaids “whom that they had caught and strangled” of their grip.
YET SHE STILL GOES.
To double down on the purple flags, the witch’s residence can also be product of human bones.
