The wife of this story fits the archetype of the wicked stepmother. It is actually mentioned that she is the stepmother of Hansel and Gretel, but she is also cruel and mean to them.
When the family faced difficulties to procure daily bread, she proposes her husband to abandon their children in the forest to solve the problem. She is also cruel with Hansel when he said he was looking at his little white cat.
The wife is neither ingenuous nor a warrior.
I'm not sure what we are supposed to do here but number 3 is a metaphor, number 4 is a simile and number 5 is a simile as well :3
