OP
I honestly never got the impression that Carmen was a whore. She's prety blunt and openly flirty, yes, but that doesn't always equal a sex-starved slut. From her bio, I got the impression that she just liked the idea of sex and would probably be horrified during an actual encounter.
Death/rape just seems the most obvious conclusion in an unsettling game like this one, but it's not always right. As you said, the game is very open-ended and metaphorical, and absolutely nothing is set in stone. I prefer seeing it more as a loss of innocence, myself. The girls stray from the well-lit path, find their wolf, and person they were before essentially "dies".
...What? When did it ever say the woodcutter was "a family man"? I have a hard time thinking a true family man would end up as a metaphorical wolf.
If anything. I thought he was kind of a lech.
/lol that's okay, rage to me bb
Re: OP
(Anonymous) 2009-09-21 05:22 am (UTC)(link)Yeah, I never got that idea. It seems to me that she's a huge flirt, loves getting attention from men, is kind of smitten with her own sexuality, and is a huge romantic; she thinks she would love one of those whirlwind romances with sudden love and then sex and all.
I do personally think the game is more metaphor than straightforward, and agree that the deaths the girls go through aren't literal deaths. I love coming up with theories, though, even if I don't think some I think up are as compelling as the others. (Like I came up with one that has it literally being a version of Red Riding Hood, with an actual if supernatural "wolf" and the GiW literally being the woodcutter at the end and saving them, which I think is less likely but would still make a neat fic idea.) But I can't say that most theories are wrong, since the creators have basically said it's anything-goes and about whatever the player thinks it's about. |D
It didn't. This guy was basically just assuming that "poor woodcutter, probably a family man"... I guess because he's middle-aged, or somethinng? I didn't get his logic.
I actually like the idea that he was either totally uninterested in the flirting (man, just look at his lack of reaction to her!), or that he was an old family friend. One of the official LJ entries seems to imply that the girls' mother might have been the original Little Red, and it seems odd that Carmen would steal the hat of some random axe-wielding stranger in the woods and get drunk around him. Then, even if you do go with the rape theory, there's the fact that the majority of rape is committed by someone that the victim knows...
/so much theorizing CAN YOU TELL I RLY WANT A FANDOM YET XD
Re: OP
Also... make an LJ comm for The Path, you know you want to. NEEDS MORE FANDOM YES?
