[...]Rule of Rose Mysteries » A Possible Significance of the Name “Diana” in Rule of Rose? (Part 1)[...]…

Maybe that thing about Diana and Callisto could have something to do with why you never see Clara with the other orphans? At least, I’m preet sure you don’t see them together. But, like they find out that Hoffman’s been doing this stuff to Clara and that she doesn’t really try to do anything about it, so they exclude her from the RCA (if she was a member before).

That topic will probably eventually become part of my new “Mysteries From the Advertising” series of blog-posts, as the bandage is only found in the E3 promotional video (also used as the pre-game video), and appears nowhere in the game itself. Did the author(s) of the game also write that scene? Or did the scene only come into existence because it has a big advertising impact? I don’t know.

I can’t recall anyone here bringing this up, but I always thought of it as another hint Hoffman is molesting Diana. It would be strange and unusual to get a wound that far up the thigh by accident and when people do have injuries there (particularly girls), it is normally a sign they are being abused. Unless it is a wrap, in which case it could just be fashionable or something. But I think it’s a bandage.

I don’t know what PN’s theory is though, so I’d love to hear it.

I was wondering if anyone knows the significance of the “bandage” or “wrap” on Diana’s left (from our point of view) upper thigh.

I’m new here and never played the game, but became fascinated by the game the first time I saw the game play for it, and hope to get it soon ^^

did the Diana of mythology not have wicked mood swings? Tangle with her, feel the wrath of the gods?

Yes, indeed. That will be my focus in the Part 2 follow up to this post.

Through the real “Diana-intensive chapters”, I can’t help but feel that Diana and Mr. Hoffman were left out of some volume of a present day Charles Dickens novel. If dear Charlie were here to write, I’ve always felt his works would still reflect that seedy, disgusting underbelly of public institutions: schools, orphanages, hospitals, etc. Child molestation would be no different to him than his lamented label blacking. Just another way for some higher power to get what it can out of a weaker party.

Although… did the Diana of mythology not have wicked mood swings? Tangle with her, feel the wrath of the gods? Savvy?
I’ve not yet finished the game, but I have this feeling that our dear Diana will soon show a temper to match those fiery tresses!

I merely stated that I had never seen Diana’s name tied with this myth (the one written out above).

But I have seen several versions with Artemis, lady of wild things, who is also in the myth of Orion…etc, etc.

I love mythology. You’re not likely to beat me in this one.
