| rdfs:comment | - The Witch is an unnamed antagonist in the fairytale of Hansel & Gretel (though in some versions she is known as the Gingerbread Hag and in Engelbert Humperdink's 1892 opera she is called Rosina Leckermaul - the German translation of the name being "Raisin Sweet-tooth"). She is portrayed as a witch who resides in a home made out of gingerbread and other assorted sweets, which she uses to lure the two protagonists into her home with the intention of eating them. She is one of folklore's best known characters, and the idea of a gingerbread house and witch has been recycled countless times in many movies, cartoons and comic books.
