In this version of The Nutcracker, Drosselmeyer has a bigger role, more fleshed-out characterization, & is even more socially awkward & affectionate, & either is, or is perceived by Clara/Marie to be romantically interested in her, despite their age differences. In her dream, Drosselmeyer is the Pasha & he & the Nutcracker Prince take an instant disliking to eachother & start fighting over Clara/Marie. Jealous that he can't compete with the young handsome prince, he separates them & destroys the dream. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8:B580:80B:706F:3F93:2A6:89B5 (talk) 08:51, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
