Anyway, just thought I’d toss in that bit of information. Don’t know if it makes any sense in terms of the game, but…there it is. This blog is fascinating! Thanks for illuminating this game!

Also, Jennifer’s past won’t let go of her, she’s trapped, bound to remember. Towards the end, when it gets clearer what had happened back then, do I err or does the number of ropes increase? This could mean that it’s getting harder and harder for Jennifer to struggle against remembering the truth.

On several occasions, several characters are seen tied with rope. Jennifer on multiple occasions, the Jennifer-rag doll, Brown, the Mr. Hoffman boss, Martha and the Clara boss. I’ve also noticed that Jennifer is tied with rope after or during the transitions like the Funeral transition when she wakes up in the ‘airship’. I’ve also noticed that the door in a part of OUAT where the Aristocrats are waiting for Jennifer is also wrapped with rope or something resembling it. Rope is usually used to keep something restrained in someway, so it’s possible that the rope could represent Jennifer’s subconscious efforts to keep her memories locked away.

And there’s also the way all of them have been tied up as well. Jennifer and her ragdoll have always been tied up against a pole of some kind. She’s forced to be kept in place and is at the mercy of her captors, which could relate to Wendy’s attempts to keep her Prince. Hoffman-boss is shown with rope all over his torso, especially around one of his arms and his face, though he is free to run around hitting people with his stick. Martha is shown bound from head to toe, as with Brown except he’s suspended in the air, possibly alluding to the sacrifices the other orphans have made. Clara-boss, as mentioned in previous entries has her lower torso bound tightly with rope to make it look like a fish’s tail.

The spider web could be a metaphor if one was to stretch it enough. Webs are used as not only traps to capture food, but it’s also doubles as the spider’s home, much like how the Aristocrat club and their games were used by Wendy to provide a sense of normalcy in the orphanage after all of the adults left, but it was also used to an her attempts to lure and capture Jennifer to keep her as Prince Joshua.

==================================
Long comment is loooooong. XD Hopefully this didn’t come out too redundant.

the knot in the center is Jennifer…

and the other ropes connecting to one another to the knot are her memories, all mixed up but somehow connected…
