Who is Third Woodcutter

The Third Woodcutter is the least sympathetic to the lovers of the three, and he is no way convinced that they will succeed in escaping. His first words are: "They'll find them." His succeeding comments are equally blunt. For example, he states that "they'll kill them," and that when the "moon comes out they'll see them." Like Death as the beggar woman, he seems to look forward to a gruesome end to events.
