** Similarly, the brothers in ''[http://www.mythfolklore.net/andrewlang/412.htm The Bird Grip]'' throw the hero into a lions' den, and in ''[http://www.mythfolklore.net/andrewlang/368.htm The Golden Blackbird]'', into a lake.
* In ''[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/authors/crane/dancingwater.html The Dancing Water, the Singing Apple, and the Speaking Bird]'', the heroine's sisters try to murder their infant nephews and niece, and the heroine herself is put into a treadmill to slave for years.
* In ''[http://www.mythfolklore.net/andrewlang/009.htm The Blue Mountains]'', the hero must suffer a [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] for three nights to free the heroine.
** Also in ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130313071234/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/authors/asbjornsenmoe/threeprincesseswhiteland.html The Three Princesses of Whiteland]''.
* In ''[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/authors/asbjornsenmoe/bluebelt.html The Blue Belt]'', the hero's eyes are burnt out by a troll and his own mother.
* In ''[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/authors/asbjornsenmoe/trueuntrue.html True and Untrue]'', Untrue gouges his brother True's eyes out in a rage.
Line 71:
* In ''[http://www.mythfolklore.net/andrewlang/223.htm Clever Maria]'', the king goes to cut off Maria's head on their wedding night; she survives only because she had a dummy ready in her place.
* In ''[http://www.mythfolklore.net/andrewlang/038.htm The Grateful Beasts]'', Ferko's brother put out his eyes and break his legs.
* In ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131129130936/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/armlessmaiden/stories/onehandedgirl.html The One-Handed Girl]'', the heroine's brother chops off her hand.
* In ''[httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20140704174306/http://surlalunefairytales.com/pentamerone/2myrtle1911.html The Myrtle]'', after seven women have torn the heroine to pieces and she has been revived, the court is asked what sentence is suitable for those who would hurt her. The villainesses said being buried alive in a dungeon, and so they are.
* In ''[httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20140401204322/http://surlalunefairytales.com/armlessmaiden/stories/biancabella.html Biancabella and the Snake]'', the hero's [[Wicked Stepmother]] orders her men to kill the noblewoman Biancabella after she marries her stepson; they don't, but they gouge out her eyes and cut off her hands as evidence that they have. She only gains them back [[Break the Cutie|after much misfortune]] and with the help of a snake named Samaritana, whom she considers her older sister.
* Almost every [[The Brothers Grimm (creator)|Grimms']] Fairy Tale ever. Consider the Grimms' "[[Cinderella (novel)|Cinderella]]", in which the evil step-sisters first cut off pieces of their feet to fit the golden slipper, and later had their eyes pecked out by birds who were avenging Cinderella. The ''second'' volume is even worse—those are the "Morality Tales", wherein "bad children" face even ''more'' sadistic fates.
* In ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131104144636/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/books/portugual/pedroso/maidenwithrose.html The Maiden with the Rose on her Forehead]'', a woman finds a beautiful girl in enchanted sleep in her husband's house. Not knowing she is his niece, she beats her (accidentally reviving her) and burns her all over with a red-hot iron to make her ugly. Then she enslaves her, maltreating her.
** Similarly in ''[httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20131010000604/http://surlalunefairytales.com/sleepingbeauty/stories/youngslave.html The Young Slave]''—where she is not burned but is maltreated so badly that she [[Driven to Suicide|thinks of suicide]].
* In ''[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/books/slavonic/wratislaw/beautifuldamsel.html The Beautiful Damsel and the Wicked Old Woman]'', a prince [[Rags to Royalty|marries a peasant girl]] but when she is coming to the wedding with an old woman, the woman gouges her eyes out and thrust her into a cave.
* In ''[httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20140401221552/http://surlalunefairytales.com/eastsunwestmoon/stories/enchpig.html The Enchanted Pig]'', the heroine builds a ladder of bones, but runs out, and so cuts off her own finger to use.
* In the original story of [https://web.archive.org/web/20080517040322/http://www.endicott-studio.com/rdrm/rrPathNeedles.html Little Red Riding Hood] the Wolf kills the grandmother and puts her blood in a bottle and her flesh in the cupboard. When Red turns up she says she's hungry. Lucky for her there's wine and meat for her to eat. Then the wolf tells her to take off her clothes and hop into bed with him.
* Lithuanian folklore features cannibal witches who eat children. One of such tales went into absurdity when witch mutilates herself to the death by chopping all her body parts, because she wants to impersonate some child's mother, who is supposedly lacking both her legs and arms and finally even her head.
