Yesterday I fell into a #mythology rabbithole on Baba Yaga.@JohannaMakesGames there is merit to your observation. it sure is strange that there is no underworld in fairy tales, unlike in greek mythology for example.
maybe it is for narrative reasons. the underworld, just like the stomach of a wolf seems like a place you don't return from, so it is surprising and awesome when someone does.
but is it scarier than verging on death? already trapped in a cell, waiting to be baked in an oven...
