Island of Dreams
"Soon he was so in love with the witch's daughter that he could think of nothing else. He
lived by the light of her eyes and gladly did whatever she asked." - Donkey Cabbages
"Island of Dreams" is loosely based on a Grimm tale called "Donkey Cabbages" or "The
Donkey Cabbage." In the story, a huntsman goes out into the world and comes across a
castle where an old witch lives with her beautiful daughter. He quickly falls in love with
the young witch, who deceives him and abuses his love to steal his fortune. (He then
ends up stranded in a magic cabbage field and turns into a donkey, but that portion of
the story proves irrelevant to the episode.) Hank clearly parallels the huntsman, and
Adalind is the witch's daughter. With her sexual prowess and her love potion, Adalind
intends to manipulate Hank's affections to get what she needs.
