Noone can see it, because too much people go by the book. They are afraid to question, to scrutinize, and to think outside of the. Though I admire such loyalty to the highers, I do think it is very...archaic...to not speak up or to speculate.

Monty said that the characters would not be based off fairy tale character...Personally, I believe that. I believe that they merely allude to or reference fairy tale characters. One point I can think to back that up is that Weiss obviously alludes to Snow White, hence her name...but we can also see that apart from her name, she is in no way Snow White. There is a lack of the seven dwarves, the Queen is not present, and although she sung about it, she was not the one to use the Magic Mirror in the first place. Also, Snow White was not at all lonely, birds followed her everywhere. And she was quite happy, which contradicts Weiss' "I am the loniest of them all".
