Small Ada Theory.

So. A lot of people have already inferenced through Ada’s stitched together limbs that she was dismembered. But I would like to contribute a little bit to that.

Not only was she dismembered, but her remains were dropped off in a bog. (Or other kind of wetland.)

Supporting evidence No. 1; Moss & dirt.

Moss and dirt is crammed into Ada’s ribcage. The green stuff hanging from her hat looks similar to willow tree branches, and her dress’s train is very earthy. She kind of looks like a bog.

Supporting Evidence No. 2; Animal bones.

Bogs got a ton of bones in them. Especially fish bones. And there’s fish bones here. I’m guessing Ada’s bones made friends with these decimated animal companions at the bottom of the bog.

Supporting Evidence No. 3, Location

Ada is southern and the USA’s south has a lot of bogs. The end.

Ada’s Eye Color (It's Probably Nothing)

So I noticed something weird about Ada’s eye color.

When she starts talking to Lenore for the very first time, her eyes are brown.

Then they turn green.

Then they’re brown again.

Now, green eyes are often associated with jealousy. Jealousy is obviously a huge part of Ada’s character, and she explicitly states that her behavior towards Lenore was the result of jealousy. Given that Ada’s Spectre has yet to be revealed, I came up with the theory that her changing eye color may be some sort of foreshadowing. A brief Google search also suggested that in ancient Greek theology, people with green eyes are said to be descended from Lycaon, the first werewolf.

The problem with this theory is that after Episode 7, Ada is never drawn with brown eyes again. In fact, she seems to mostly be drawn with just black dots with no iris. Most characters have a couple panels where their irises aren’t shown, but with Ada, it almost seems like the norm.

I think the changing color in Episodes 6 and 7 were most likely just a minor coloring mistake, but a part of me is reluctant to give up this theory.

Ada’s eyes tend to be shown as green when she’s engaging in self-destructive behavior:

Self-pity

Being confronted with her lack of Spectre

After Montressor tormented and humiliated her.

Alienating others

Clinginess

Jealousy

Obsessive People-Pleasing

Also, I'll just point out these two images:

Morella is the one character who seems to have a real friendship with Ada, so these two interactions are probably the most genuinely happy Ada has been so far in the series. In both moments, Ada's eyes are closed.

In summation: Ada's eyes are green, but they don't always look green. That might be important, but probably isn't. I mainly just wanted to point out this weirdness in case someone smarter than me sees something I don't.

mkay if Ada is anything like who she is in Tamerlane (a peasant), im calling it that she isn't "posh" like she seems to claim, and is actually from a poor/peasant family. Aside from how insistent she is on acting posh and superior, she doesn't seem to fit in with Annabel and Prospero personality wise, and she also didn't know what Lenore meant when she "mistook her for a church bell", and prospero had to explain it to her.

Keep in mind, i don't use fastpass, so if this has been/gets revealed soon, I won't know for a while lol

DESPINA HATUN IN FICTION III 

Arpasia

“ Let it come; This Moment then shall shew I am a Greek, And speak my Country's Courage in my suffering.” - The final adieux of Arpasia to Bajazet in the play “ Tamerlane: A Tragedy “ by Nicholas Rowe. 

The play named “ Tamerlane: A Tragedy “ was first performed in 1701 at the Lincoln’s Inn Fields Theater in London. 

The play which has various historical characters, both fictional and non-fictional, contains two characters inspired by a 14th-century couple from the Ottoman Empire; Despina Hatun and Yildirim Bayezid, Arpasia and Bajazet.

In this artwork, Despina Hatun has heavily influenced the character of Arpasia; the sorrowful bride of Bajazet who has great disdain for her husband, and instead finds solace and comfort in the presence of the fictional Moneses; a prince who shares both her heritage and faith. 

The relationship between Arpasia and Bajazet is quite complex in this play. On his part, he is content to have the company of his bride with him during his captivity by Tamerlane though he is quite possessive of her. On her part, she is disgusted by him, not only for his actions towards her but also for their religious differences. 

No matter what he does, and what he says he can not win the affection of his wife, though it seems this has been their relationship since the very beginning. 

Arpasia accused Bajazet of acting like a tyrant, not only towards her in the past but also towards his people, and yet Bajazet seemed to not care for her words. Though we do not get exact examples of those Tyrant actions he took upon her, some believe it could be related to marital abuse. 

Jealous and tired of waiting for his bride to fall upon him, Bajazet gives her an ultimatum; to give herself willingly or he will use another method to have her. 

In the end, she ends her life knowing that will be the only way to save herself from him and have the final laugh, in death. Though Bajazet tries to save her, showing that he does have some affection for her, other than his possessiveness ideas over her person, his attempt fails and that is the last we have of them in the play. 

The aftermath of her death is probably one of the first times we have an essence of remorse from Bajazet, though it does not last long.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall, I would say the play and the story of Arpasia (Despina Hatun) do have aspects of early-media feminism, such as her being against her husband's views of seeing her as something to possess at his own time, and her death being some activism against his ideas. 

But the play fails, to go more in-depth into what previously happened between them, leaving some confusion in the viewer. 

Throughout the whole play, I could sense some biases of the author’s hatred of Bajazet, and his softness towards the character; Tamerlane (Timur) who in real life was not much quite different from the tyrant Bajazet, and yet he appears as one in this deviation. 

Yes, I do call it a deviation as the whole time I was focused on finishing this artwork, I could get a sense of deja-vue. As if it was mere fanfiction of the play by Marlowe, but with some changes, as if the author was avoiding the chance to get sued.

Tamerlane, the great Uzbek Mongol emperor, was a brilliant but cruel leader who conquered vast territories. His tomb’s curse is blamed for the WWII Stalingrad horrors.
