After all those years, it still works, as Mal used it to send the museum security guard to sleep. The spinning wheel that was used by Maleficent to put Audrey's mother into an eternal sleep, appears as a museum exhibit at the Museum of Cultural History.

David's voluntary submission to a sleeping curse to reach Mary Margaret in the Netherworld is enacted by him pricking his finger on the spinning wheel's spindle, which Gold refers to as "the old-fashioned way", referring to Maleficent's sleeping curse.Ĭora is also seen by Mary Margaret and Regina with the spinning wheel in a spirit form within an enclosed room after Mary Margaret, David, Emma Swan, Captain Hook, and her daughter Regina Mills attempt to make communication with her. Gold spinning his wheel and making potions. His wheel is also featured in Storybrooke. She later used it to put Aurora under a sleeping curse. Maleficent also used a spinning wheel with a weakened version of the sleeping curse with other ingredients to drug herself. Rumplestiltskin is periodically depicted sitting at his wheel and spinning, lost in thought, claiming it helps him to forget. Cora names the technique "blood-lust" to which Rumplestiltskin approves. Cora chooses the moment when a young Queen Eva trips her whilst delivering straw to the noble court and being forced to apologize. When asked what moment he chooses, Rumplestiltskin tells of his humiliation of a King's Duke where he made him kiss his boot. He tells her to think of a moment where she was humiliated and use that to motivate her. He also teaches a young Cora to spin straw into gold to marry Prince Henry. The wheel appeared in his small home where they lived together and again, later, in the main room of his grand estate house where he held Belle captive. Years later, Rumplestiltskin's son Baelfire was a child during the Ogre Wars.

For Giraudoux, however, the worst fate awaiting the mermaid was her assimilation into a Philistine world. The ethical implications of Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué's Undine are fully realized in Keats's writings, in which the artist's soul must be won in the context of worldly suffering, a theme also found in Yeats. Her yearning symbolized his own, but her end accentuated the dangers of defining art's function in terms of a society that ultimately rejects it. But in her reception by an indifferent or hostile world, the artist could also find his basic dilemma.
In the mermaid's quest the artist could find reflected his own desire to wed aesthetics to ethics so that his art would serve humanity. Her appearance in this novel climaxes a tradition going back as far as Paracelsus' treatise on the nature spirits who wed humans in order to gain souls, and traceable through romantic and modern literature. A recurrent motif in Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus is his hero's identification with Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid.
