[Solve] Morse Poem Interpretation and Analysis - Part I
Moderator: Moderators
Between the virgin and the beast
moses armed the evil priest
to stab me with his sword of hate
if help again will come too late.
To me, the first line is obvious and we've all said its meaning. Moses armed the evil priest.
Bree's dad (Moses, patriarch, etc.) arms the priest by handing Bree over to the ceremony official. He arms him with her. Her purpose we don't yet know, but she is needed and requested for this ceremony and such "arming the priest" with her, to me, means handing her to them for the use intended.
The rest...stab me with his sword of hate can be interpreted in more ways than the obvious sacrifice. Shakespeare often referred to an orgasm as "death"...and stab me with is sword of hate could possibly mean some sexual. Or not.

I don't think we are going to die....
Cassie may not be dead and she could eb part of the ceremony or Bree and Cassie are the same person and if one dies so will the other.

Yeah, what if Bree has a split personality? That's why Daniel didn't remember who Cassie was, but Bree remembered "walking around the track" with her. And how "people were mean to her."Kasdeja wrote:Bree and Cassie being one person would explain the "we".
Maybe all those kooky cult ceremonies when she was a kid, and all the people making fun of her in school and what not ,created some sort of fissure in her personality.
Hah. That's not so far fetched, considering what we've thought of up to now.
I got this feeling from thre initial swimming video, without all of this afterwards, that Cassie was just an imaginary friend... I watch to many movies, so I didn't give it much thought afterwards.whisper wrote:Yeah, what if Bree has a split personality?

Do you know what foreboding means?
The virgin also makes me think of Jerusalem and the Beast of Babylon...let me look up some on that...and repost...
It is from revelations as well...

So IF Cassie and Bree are split personalities
Bree is unaware of Cassie, but Cassie is aware of Bree
Those 2 lines of the poem:
"The burden is not mine to bear
we win, we live. we die, we share" (punctuation added)
Would obviously mean that (since they are the same being) if they win, they'll both live. If they die, they'll share (the burden).
