The protagonist of ‘The Tinder Box’, like Aladdin, is not a squeaky-clean pure-hearted hero either, but someone who attains material advantage over others which enables him to marry the princess and acquire vast wealth. Both protagonists also lose everything at one point, until they recover their magic gift and are able to use it to regain their possessions.

That story contains a number of common fairy-tale tropes: the magical device (a tinder box; a magic lamp and ring), a magic helper with the ability to grant wishes (a dog in Andersen’s story, rather than a genie), the ‘rags to riches’ motif, an evil magician (a witch in Andersen’s story rather than a male sorcerer), and a beautiful princess.
