Line 52:
*** There are mirrors in abundance. Jareth removes his mask while the guests retain theirs, and yet he is often in close proximity to mirrors, including two which are held up to him on either side by masked women when Sarah first spots him.
*** The walls of the room itself are mirrors. Sarah has to shatter them to break the illusion.
* ''[[The Man in the Iron Mask (1998 film)|The Man in the Iron Mask]]'' uses this to switch out the corrupt (literal) [[Evil Twin]] king for the good one, with the added bonus that the hidden twin had spent his entire life wearing a heavy iron mask, which he flashed to the king from under the decorative gold one to freak him out.
* At least one Cinderella adaptation makes the Prince's ball a masquerade, making the whole "find her by her shoe size!" idea seem slightly less silly.
** If you're referring to the Hilary Duff movie, it still seems pretty obvious who everyone is under the masks.
Line 90:
STRANGER: Indeed?
CASSILDA: Indeed it's time. We all have laid aside disguise but you.
STRANGER: [[Not a Mask|I wear no mask.]]
CAMILLA: ''(Terrified, aside to Cassilda.)'' No mask? No mask! }}
* In the book version of ''[[Ella Enchanted]]'', Ella wears a mask to the ball so she can see the prince without being recognized. In this case, though, no one else is masked.
