Line 25:
* [[Duel to The Death]]: It's [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome|not described]], but this is how the Mouse King dies.
* [[Eccentric Mentor]]: Godfather Drosselmeier.
* [[Eek! aA Mouse!]]: Averted; Hoffman specifically mentions that Marie isn't afraid of mice, though her mother seems to assume she is. (In fact, she's only afraid of one, and for [[Complete Monster|good reason.]])
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Princesses]]: There are what, five of them in all?
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Sparkles]]: The Land of Dolls, ever so much.
* [[Evil Matriarch]]: The Mouse Queen.
* [[Gem Encrusted]]: The boat/sea chariot Nutcracker and Marie cross the lake on; a room inside Marzipan Castle.
Line 40:
* [[Level Ate]]: The Land of Dolls, where buildings are made from various sweets.
* [[Living Toys]]: Possibly the oldest example in the book.
* [[Or Was It a Dream?]]: In the book, it wasn't!
** Some of the ballet adaptations don't make it a dream either.
** The Soviet cartoon seems be more ambiguous on this part, but, given that we see Marie's sabots and The Nutcracker's empty shell at the end, it seems the events were real after all.
