 ("...as long as you keep your honor and wear your crown with dignity") – alludes to the Carolingian custom of a brother watching over the honor of his sisters.Next to the allusions to Bluebeard, the legend also contains elements (mythemes) of ancient Germanic legend, notably the idea that a nature spirit or faery can use a song to lure people into his realm, most typically his forest, where he causes their death.Another mytheme is the outspoken sexual nature of Halewijn and his desires.
