i don’t get the beauty and the beast one. What is happening to the child?

Belle has been kidnapped, and if you notice where her hand is and how she is sitting i interpret that as being forced to touch herself.

I would say the Beauty and the Beast one is about child abuse, both physical and possibly sexual, given the bruises and the way she is being reached for.

Which fairy tale is the third one from?

@Han I’m not sure but I guess it’s ‘The Brave Tin Soldier (The Steadfast Tin Soldier)’ from Hans Christian Anderson.
