I don't agree. But oh my god do I think The Woodsman's daughter should have stayed dead. There was a really nice message about the importance of moving on that was completely undercut by the fact that she was jk alive the whole time.

Moving on was never the message of the Woodsman's story. It was about how you can fall victim to tricks when you're desperate (that's the Beast's entire method of survival) and the harm you cause yourself and others when you become so laser-focused on a single thing and so set in your ways that you can't see the other possibilities right there in front of you. The daughter being dead would have been pointless because the whole point was that it was obvious her soul was never in the lantern and if the Woodsman had just gone to check if she was there instead of becoming obsessed with getting "her" out of the lantern, everything would have been solved a long time ago. That she was right there and fine all along is the tragedy of the story. There's no room in there for a moving on moral.

AYRT. That is a very good and total valid interpretation, probably supported by the fact the she is alive. But I interpreted it similarly but a little different to you. I saw The Beast taking advantage of someone so stewed in grief, so unable to move on (desperate) that they would be willing to latch on to anything, even something harmful, instead of accepting what had happened.
