The Others can be compared to the folk tale "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". Throughout the movie Anne is trying to scare her little brother. She is always talking about the boy Victor she sees and teasing him about the other intruders in the house. When Anne and Nicholas leave the house in search for their father, Anne discovers their servants tombstones, and when they seem to be actually in danger, Anne tells Nicholas that they are dead, and Nicholas like the villagers in "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" did not believe Anne because she always seemed to make things up to scare him. Nicholas realizes though that they are in danger and are able to escape.
