It couldn't be anymore obvious, Robin's ending ultimately is premature death. By wolf, physical or metaphorical, I do believe it was maybe a brutal death given the scene in the graveyard, that grandma's house is trashed; the long hallway before the crib has a distinct glow to it, such as in the light some ppl believe you see during death. The fall into the open grave usually unsettles ppl because of the fear of death, of looking into the depths of darkness and fearing there's nothing beyond it.
I love this game, but her just jumping on the wolfs back always kinda bothered me. At 9 years old, i defiantly had more common sense then that. I would have got the fuck out of there. I think it would have more realistic if they made her 6 or 7.
@TheLeoncyrus she supposed to go stright to her grandmother's house as they instructed her but if you gose playing around and wandering the woods and encounter " the wolf " she will worn out and fall unconscious in front of her G mother house so you need to get some sleep and that's where you need to get in the house i think she's was afraid of been asked " where have you been? " that's why she sees the house look scarry from the inside like how little kids think when they get into trouble.
I can't help but think her wolf is about her...well loving animals. She doesn't see the danger they present and was either killed or more likely mauled by one. So she is forced to grow up by confronting death and losing her blind trust.
That werewolf freaked me out SO MUCH when I was playing. I was just waiting for him to attack her. Then he didn't. And I was still seriously freaked out anyway and slept with the light on. That's why this game is awesome XD
Robin, Being a Child is More Innocent and Open to the World Around her Unlike her Older Sisters, My Guess is that That is the Reason She Can See her Wolf for What it Truly is ... Robin's Fear is Basically That She Doesn't Want to Die, as You walk Through the House you can See the Birthday Party Happening which Comes and Goes Once a Year ... and Eventually they aren't Special, you Just Accept them For What They are ... and Robin Falls into the Grave at The End, Which is What she Doesn't Want.
@parisrnify I personally don't think she is afraid of death...well, may be she's just being curious when she found the graveyard she said "People die, it's hard to imagine for a kid like me" and her curiousity is what lead her to death
I can relate to Robin really well. Thats why she's my favorite character. Like her, I fear growing up. Getting older, being unable to do the things I loved to do as a smaller child. Being 14 im at the stage of, growing up is scary and I want to play with my dolls forever! Kind of thing. Robin is a child, she thinks who would hurt a child. She gets on the wolf and gets hurt and or killed and realizes everybody grows up. She has to do it eventually.
Here's my take on Robin's ending. I don't think Robin dies but she doesn't realize that those close to her CAN die (in this case, her grandmother from being sick). So I'm pretty sure everyone here will agree with me when I say, Robin is ignorant of death. Where she got raped or killed or not is another debate but I don't think either happened to her
Robin, being a young girl, thinks everything is fun, and that nothing bad could happen. Then she meets the wolf, and dosn't relise its dangerous, and so goes up to it and rides it. The wolf tries to get her off, but can't, so it attacks, and Robin either dies or gets injured and learns a lesson. Thats what this is about.
OR its telling us not to send small girls into a forest that has wolfs in it
I lament for the future of the mankind. People fail so much when it comes to metaphors. Here goes my interpretation. No girl actually died or was raped in this game. People are sick for thinking so.
Robin's wolf is easiest to guess: it's death. She was naive child who didn't knew about death. She tried to ride her wolf - she tried to fight death. Either she tried stay ignorant to the fact people can die or (this one I belive more) she tried to fight her fear for death, come to terms with it.
Also, after she enconters her wolf, her hood is down; and its said that the red hood symbolises the hymen in the original fairy tale; perhaps that can be a methafor to her hymen being broken...?
And the bloody bed... A bed is for sleeping, for comfort... But in that case, the bed is leaning forwards, hinting that whoever tried to lie on it would be throw into the grave right infront of it, as if a piece of her had died on a bed.
Maybe her wolf is the less human like because thats how she came to picture her abuser after he raped her: As a monster; not even a normal, fluffy wolf that she seemed to like so much.
And also, in this ending the cradle is upside down, like if she had been "thrown" off her childhood after an traumatic event, and forced to grow up (Due why theres a birthday party right after the craddle)
And has anyone noticed that the scratch marks on the door belong to something with 5 fingers...?
This might sound odd and even sick, but I think Robin is the only one that suffered from sexual abuse.
Her wolf is the most literal one, yet not completely; It is a werewolve, Werewolves are men with double lifes; They can have families and children at the day, but once the moon rises, they go out and slaughter anything in their way, and cant stop it, like a sickness... Just like a pedophile.
Well, in my house, there's a stairway leading up to the second floor, and right in front of those stairs is my bathroom. Looking into my bathroom reveals a large window on the opposite side.
Now when I walk up there, I can't help but look behind me for a ravenous wolf that wants to rape/eat me.
I just bought this game and I totally love it. Although its a hassle searching for the items with each character. I accidentally found Robin's wolf without meaning too the first time I ran off into the woods. I ran right by it though so I could get a chance to explore more, but no matter where I went I always ended up back at the Graveyard. Haha, I must have a horrible sense of direction.
I think Robin's walk inside Grandma's house signifies the beginning and end of life. In one of the first rooms is a cot, meaning birth. The room with the birthday party setup means growing older, and the final room with the blood stained bed shows how every person must one day face their deathbed.
When you consider Robin's thoughts in the graveyard, it works quite well.
I've played penumbra, amnesia, silent hill... you name a horror game, I've played it. When I saw this game on steam I thought "wow what a game for pussies" as I bought it. It didn't scare me one bit.
did anyone else noticed that when you first jump on the werewolf e seems somehow...scared, as he tries to make Robin fall off his back? And that applies at the other "wolves" as well. The fact that the woodsman doesn't respond at carmen's flirt, or the charming wolf that carries something bodybagish hence alarming the player that he IS the wolf. This left me a little....confused
I've read all of these comments here, and gained somewhat of an understanding of what her wolf symbolizes. However, I came up with a reason why her wolf is a...erm...wolf. Being 9 years old means your imagination goes wild. I don't think she would have a 16 year-old guy giving her cigarettes as a wolf, hence why she thought of the worst thing a 9 year-old can think of. A big, bad wolf.
The attic, it could be where she hides if she is being abused or neglected (the wolf attacking her).
The room with cake, balloons and presents, it could mean she does not want a birthday, she does not want to grow up.
The wolf, this shows her getting abused and neglected, her pain and tears, the car she plays with in the character select could be the only toy she has, her wolf teaches her death.
Robin's story is about dying at the end of your life.
Robin is naive. She learns about death and has to face the fact that everyone grows up and dies at one point in life, but she doesn't want to accept it. She doesn't want to grow up nor does she want anyone she loves to die.
IMO: I think Robin's wolf is her losing her innocence about death. Her comments lead me to believe that she now understands she and everyone she loves will die one day. Grandmother's house is blue (sadness) and is full of time based objects (birthdays, the moon, ect.) The wolf is death, always chasing.
while i havent bought the game, im pretty sure that after seeing all these "big bad wolves" in her life, that the path is what she should have stayed on, but once you go off the path, that's where things go wrong... that was probably obvious to a lot of people, maybe im just slo XD STAY ON THE PATH! >:o
Why is it that at first she's walking normally and then suddenly, once she's on the path to grandmother's house her head is dangling and she's walking a lot more slowly and what seems to be almost miserably? Can anybody please explain? :o
Well, looking at the image at 7:35 more so to me seems like physical abuse, not litteraly being eaten by a wolf. I think im leaning more towards the 'she went through abuse' theory here. I do believe that it is clearly possible Robin has come from an abusive family (her having so many siblings could mean the father could have constantly raped the mother), in turn forcing her to grow up well before her time and see the mean things that go on in the world. Just a thought xD
I still have no idea, why people keep making out of happy children fairytales such creepy and Silent hill stuff.. Why not just leave alone these good childhood memories? I remember how my mother read it to me and it was so sweet! Of course maybe I'm wrong, but for me Bambi is still better without bloody axe in his teeth)))
@MissPumpkinJuice Actually, Little Red Riding Hood originally wasn't a very happy fairytale. Red got eaten at the end, and she or her grandmother were never saved from the wolf. (I'm talking about Perrault's version here.)
@MissPumpkinJuice Your mother read you the belittled version of those tales. Sleeping Beauty was raped and impregnated by the prince in her sleep. Cinderella's sisters cut off their own toes to fit into the shoes. The little mermaid had to kill her prince or his new wife, and when she couldn't do it, she died instead. Red Riding Hood, at least, didn't hide its disturbing qualities. We all know the wolf ate the little girl and her granny. Nothing sweet about that...
Wellll..... You have quite interesting point of view on all fairytales. ))) Thanks god I'm russian, and mother mostly read me another fairytales))) Mercifully ones....
(cont.) The wolf then forces her back to the cemetary and then we get the final sequence. Realising that with every year, she's one step closer to death (thankyou BarelyPerfect) and the flashes are her realisation of what would happen if she did play with a wolf, and that her death is comoning no matter what.
I think Robin is facing her own mortatlity. She loves nature and thinks it's all pretty and wonderfull. But then she sees the graves and realises that even nature has a sinister side, she relates flowers (a common icon of inoocence) to death and then begins to play with the wolf, getting a piggy back, but she tries to force him away from the cemetary, trying to escape the reallity of death.
maybe its not about the characters but the plot... each girl does something dangerous or, to a grown up, stupid but the girl in white is their to lead you to the path and away from the wolf(symbolicly). but it also shows that theres a point where the girl in white cant help you and u made ur grave, so to speak
@Spartanoffaith Actually, the girl in white is a sort of representation to maintain the innocence and purity that each girls' wolf takes away from her. She wants to keep you ON the path, quite the opposite.
OH SHIT SO I WAS RIGHT MOTHER FUCKER YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
there a pedophile theory about this part. the werewolf could be a pedophile, trying to get rid of his "bestiality" ( he seems to try to shake off robin from his back ). she's not aware of the danger, and just want to play, like with a big dog. eventually the pedophile unleashes his bestiality. ( he howls )
what do you guys think about that?
anyways, seeing that girl walking slowy in the rain is somewhat disturbing... :-(
@Oodoo974 That's a good theory o: My take on it was general abuse though. Hitting and stuff like that, it seemed like sexual abuse was more Carmen's wolf.
Robin tried playing with the big, muscular figure (similar to, say, a dad?), it snapped at her in public, she went home wounded and got abused even worse there.
...If you'll excuse me, I need to go cry for the poor thing ;___;
I was thinking, like someone has rape theories for all the girls or murder theories, maybe there can be father theories? I was thinking this because there are many daughters and I don't think they ever speak of their father. So, maybe Robin found someone to play with (asked him to be her father) but in the end she gets hurt.
@Dr34am3r yeah that's possible. anyways anyone can think whatever he/she wants about the meaning. that was the creators's goal. make the player getting really deep into the meanings of the game.
In "The Path", there is a house of sister's who are sent, one by one, to their sick grandmother's house, to comfort their graindmother. However, instead of staying on the path, you wander away from the path and meet your "Wolf", someone you trust. Then you awaken during the rain to see a twisted version of your grandmother's house--each version is different for each girl...erk...it's hard for me to explain without spoiling.
The first girl you "succeed" with is the farthest away, and each subsequent completion starts closer. These were done in order of age, which is why Robin appears furthest from the house.
I think at 6:52, it's just a shadow of her in the same pose as she was walking when she was walking to her grandmother's house. If you notice, when she gets up in the rain, her neck is ajar to the right, and it's reflected the same way in the shadow at 6:52. Not sure about the symbolism itself, but the shadow's not a result of any hanging or broken neck, just the shadow of her own dejected posture from when she was walking to the house.
i agree with LetsPlayMaldeus, they could be dying or killed in a spiritual or mental way. such as the death of robin's childish naivety to death at the door of her own. robin might also have necrophobia, as she has a death themed path containing grave sites and a birthday party( referred to necrophibiacs as a step closer to death).
all the girls are one person and they resemble "grandma" this is her first stage of growing up I'm guessing a part of her "died" when she learned about death and she became a different person resulting in everyone "dieing" when they "die" part of the "grandma" "dies" but thats life when we grow up.
Given this is a wolf, an actual threatening creature with reason to kill her, I'll grant Robin might have bitten the dust. But the whole thing carries more of a "momento mori" feel to me, with the cradle, birthday, and grave (birth, life, and death).
Why does everyone assume that every single girl ends up being literally killed? The surreal experience in grandma's house is far more likely to be a dream than reality, and death could very easily be a metaphor for the death of innocence, which makes about a million times more sense, especially since half the girls don't even appear to be injured while walking to grandma's house after the wolf, just depressed or hungover!
@LetsPlayMaldeus thats prolly cuz when you walk around grandma's it isnt grandma's house and its more like a 'personal hell' so they are dead... but they dont know it untill you reach grandma's room
I think the kids represent the usual person, grandma represents evil and the white/gray girl represents good. The gray girl kills grandma/the wolf at the end, thus allowing the girls to grow up.
Another possibility is that each girl represents one of the seven death sins. Barbed-wire girl = anger, logger-joe girl = lust, boat girl = acadia/sloth, gray girl = gluttony (eat the food herself), car-crash girl = luxury, And the two last i can´t remember. Anyone help me? Maybe rearrange titles?
I think she was playing around with a wolf (Normal or demon its up to you) and she fell in a grave and broke her neck. (The wolf may or may not have eaten her in the end)
Okay while she broke her neck, I do believe that the wolf probably caused her death somehow. Either by pushing her in or eating her, the reason why is because A) it is clear that the wolves are a malevolent force, and B) All the claw marks on her in those slide things.
basically i think its the catch 22 that life really is...some of it sucks...some is scary ...sometimes you find good things ( some parts of the woods arent bad or "scary" ) ...but eventually you grow old and die ...thats my take on why the map always say this is your path .....and the title is called the path..we all end up in the same place but how we get there is the point
If thats the point then ppl would find there desires of the road, but they just find random stuff they all find. Not to mention you don't have to venture of the road to far in life necessarily to get something good. Also i cant make out wth is happening half the time. If this is made to look like your life and making choices then life, even when its dangerous is gdm boring as hell.
game is certainly ..odd....my take on this is...you lose by taking the path straight grandmas because it represents leading a safe life...the sunny start is (childhood) grandmas house ( she is old its dark and weird ) = death or the end of your life...so if you go straight to it you lose because you havent "lived" ...the woods are weird and supposed to be scary..and this where the girls find their desires or things that intrigue them...and they die anyway
yeah, you are a total failure if you end up going to work, sleep, eat and all over again for the rest of your life x) You are not a failure if you have fun and then get killed. Btw, I think that white kid is grandma's only grandchild (or whatever it's called, I'm Norwegian), because she doesn't die and she is the only one hanging on the wall above grandma (as a picture). All the other ones took the wrong path through life or something and ended up with a sucky life.
That is possible but, I think the girl in white merely represent innocence and purity (she doesn't have a wolf and she is able to go straight to grandma's house, and inturn not growing up). But, that's just my guess :)
ther are many interpretations, but here is my take.
first of thers a very important fact about robin, she looks & seems innocent, yet she likes wolves. but these are probably figurative, the figure of robin portrays as a mask of purity, & the wolf portrays the dark and twisted temptations that she enjoys, or wishes to experience. then upon riding the wolf (giving into the temptation to do the wrong thing) she gets carried away and the wolf (her temptation) acts as the end of her.
I love how robin isn't scared of her wolf, I mean she just jumps on top of him and rides him like a horse that's like goes around when like a cowboy rides it!
"Mauled" essentially means attacked or injured. It's hard to describe exactly what it means, but it tends to imply that the attack was done by an animal or in an animalistic way, with repeated blows by parts of the attacker's body. So you can't really get mauled by a sword, but if someone punched you over and over then you could say you've been mauled.
I'm a bit confused, I understand that she was mauled by the wolf..but what do the birthday presents, balloons, and cake symbolize? Are they just there or is there a deeper meaning behind them?
Also..she apparently says "Is this the balloon that I lost on my birthday?" when she comes across a balloon in the forest..Does anyone have an idea as to what it could mean or am I just looking too much into it?
If my grandma ever gets a house like this one, I sure as hell will never visit her again!

did anyone else noticed that when you first jump on the werewolf e seems somehow...scared, as he tries to make Robin fall off his back? And that applies at the other "wolves" as well. The fact that the woodsman doesn't respond at carmen's flirt, or the charming wolf that carries something bodybagish hence alarming the player that he IS the wolf. This left me a little....confused

I've read all of these comments here, and gained somewhat of an understanding of what her wolf symbolizes. However, I came up with a reason why her wolf is a...erm...wolf. Being 9 years old means your imagination goes wild. I don't think she would have a 16 year-old guy giving her cigarettes as a wolf, hence why she thought of the worst thing a 9 year-old can think of. A big, bad wolf.

My thoery of Robin....
The attic, it could be where she hides if she is being abused or neglected (the wolf attacking her).
The room with cake, balloons and presents, it could mean she does not want a birthday, she does not want to grow up.
The wolf, this shows her getting abused and neglected, her pain and tears, the car she plays with in the character select could be the only toy she has, her wolf teaches her death.
Robin's story is about dying at the end of your life.
sailordarkmoon999 1 year ago
Robin is naive. She learns about death and has to face the fact that everyone grows up and dies at one point in life, but she doesn't want to accept it. She doesn't want to grow up nor does she want anyone she loves to die.
Verakun 1 year ago
IMO: I think Robin's wolf is her losing her innocence about death. Her comments lead me to believe that she now understands she and everyone she loves will die one day. Grandmother's house is blue (sadness) and is full of time based objects (birthdays, the moon, ect.) The wolf is death, always chasing.

while i havent bought the game, im pretty sure that after seeing all these "big bad wolves" in her life, that the path is what she should have stayed on, but once you go off the path, that's where things go wrong... that was probably obvious to a lot of people, maybe im just slo XD STAY ON THE PATH! >:o

@PrincessQPatsy how would you feel if you just had faced your wolf?
toepywa 1 year ago
Well, looking at the image at 7:35 more so to me seems like physical abuse, not litteraly being eaten by a wolf. I think im leaning more towards the 'she went through abuse' theory here. I do believe that it is clearly possible Robin has come from an abusive family (her having so many siblings could mean the father could have constantly raped the mother), in turn forcing her to grow up well before her time and see the mean things that go on in the world. Just a thought xD

@MissPumpkinJuice Actually, Little Red Riding Hood originally wasn't a very happy fairytale. Red got eaten at the end, and she or her grandmother were never saved from the wolf. (I'm talking about Perrault's version here.)
Kaitzvuotis 1 year ago 3
@MissPumpkinJuice Your mother read you the belittled version of those tales. Sleeping Beauty was raped and impregnated by the prince in her sleep. Cinderella's sisters cut off their own toes to fit into the shoes. The little mermaid had to kill her prince or his new wife, and when she couldn't do it, she died instead. Red Riding Hood, at least, didn't hide its disturbing qualities. We all know the wolf ate the little girl and her granny. Nothing sweet about that...

(cont.) The wolf then forces her back to the cemetary and then we get the final sequence. Realising that with every year, she's one step closer to death (thankyou BarelyPerfect) and the flashes are her realisation of what would happen if she did play with a wolf, and that her death is comoning no matter what.
Anbarraca 1 year ago
I think Robin is facing her own mortatlity. She loves nature and thinks it's all pretty and wonderfull. But then she sees the graves and realises that even nature has a sinister side, she relates flowers (a common icon of inoocence) to death and then begins to play with the wolf, getting a piggy back, but she tries to force him away from the cemetary, trying to escape the reallity of death.

maybe its not about the characters but the plot... each girl does something dangerous or, to a grown up, stupid but the girl in white is their to lead you to the path and away from the wolf(symbolicly). but it also shows that theres a point where the girl in white cant help you and u made ur grave, so to speak
and if u followed the path you would have lived.

snobordinJACboi15 1 year ago
there a pedophile theory about this part. the werewolf could be a pedophile, trying to get rid of his "bestiality" ( he seems to try to shake off robin from his back ). she's not aware of the danger, and just want to play, like with a big dog. eventually the pedophile unleashes his bestiality. ( he howls )
what do you guys think about that?
anyways, seeing that girl walking slowy in the rain is somewhat disturbing... :-(

Oodoo974 1 year ago
@Oodoo974 That's a good theory o: My take on it was general abuse though. Hitting and stuff like that, it seemed like sexual abuse was more Carmen's wolf.
Robin tried playing with the big, muscular figure (similar to, say, a dad?), it snapped at her in public, she went home wounded and got abused even worse there.

I was thinking, like someone has rape theories for all the girls or murder theories, maybe there can be father theories? I was thinking this because there are many daughters and I don't think they ever speak of their father. So, maybe Robin found someone to play with (asked him to be her father) but in the end she gets hurt.

In "The Path", there is a house of sister's who are sent, one by one, to their sick grandmother's house, to comfort their graindmother. However, instead of staying on the path, you wander away from the path and meet your "Wolf", someone you trust. Then you awaken during the rain to see a twisted version of your grandmother's house--each version is different for each girl...erk...it's hard for me to explain without spoiling.

The first girl you "succeed" with is the farthest away, and each subsequent completion starts closer. These were done in order of age, which is why Robin appears furthest from the house.

hobosrcool730 2 years ago
I think at 6:52, it's just a shadow of her in the same pose as she was walking when she was walking to her grandmother's house. If you notice, when she gets up in the rain, her neck is ajar to the right, and it's reflected the same way in the shadow at 6:52. Not sure about the symbolism itself, but the shadow's not a result of any hanging or broken neck, just the shadow of her own dejected posture from when she was walking to the house.

Otaku287 2 years ago
i agree with LetsPlayMaldeus, they could be dying or killed in a spiritual or mental way. such as the death of robin's childish naivety to death at the door of her own. robin might also have necrophobia, as she has a death themed path containing grave sites and a birthday party( referred to necrophibiacs as a step closer to death).
BarelyPerfect 2 years ago 5
all the girls are one person and they resemble "grandma" this is her first stage of growing up I'm guessing a part of her "died" when she learned about death and she became a different person resulting in everyone "dieing" when they "die" part of the "grandma" "dies" but thats life when we grow up.
VampDDR 2 years ago 2
Given this is a wolf, an actual threatening creature with reason to kill her, I'll grant Robin might have bitten the dust. But the whole thing carries more of a "momento mori" feel to me, with the cradle, birthday, and grave (birth, life, and death).
LetsPlayMaldeus 2 years ago 6
Why does everyone assume that every single girl ends up being literally killed? The surreal experience in grandma's house is far more likely to be a dream than reality, and death could very easily be a metaphor for the death of innocence, which makes about a million times more sense, especially since half the girls don't even appear to be injured while walking to grandma's house after the wolf, just depressed or hungover!
LetsPlayMaldeus 2 years ago 15
@LetsPlayMaldeus thats prolly cuz when you walk around grandma's it isnt grandma's house and its more like a 'personal hell' so they are dead... but they dont know it untill you reach grandma's room

1. That walk up to the house must be one of the most harrowing things I've ever seen.
2. Robin is supposed to have a naive fascination with nature; therefore, the wolf probably represents her seeing the bad side and growing up.

SABTERROR 2 years ago 3
I think the kids represent the usual person, grandma represents evil and the white/gray girl represents good. The gray girl kills grandma/the wolf at the end, thus allowing the girls to grow up.
Another possibility is that each girl represents one of the seven death sins. Barbed-wire girl = anger, logger-joe girl = lust, boat girl = acadia/sloth, gray girl = gluttony (eat the food herself), car-crash girl = luxury, And the two last i can´t remember. Anyone help me? Maybe rearrange titles?

Okay while she broke her neck, I do believe that the wolf probably caused her death somehow. Either by pushing her in or eating her, the reason why is because A) it is clear that the wolves are a malevolent force, and B) All the claw marks on her in those slide things.

basically i think its the catch 22 that life really is...some of it sucks...some is scary ...sometimes you find good things ( some parts of the woods arent bad or "scary" ) ...but eventually you grow old and die ...thats my take on why the map always say this is your path .....and the title is called the path..we all end up in the same place but how we get there is the point
shawnshawnshawnshawn 2 years ago 3
If thats the point then ppl would find there desires of the road, but they just find random stuff they all find. Not to mention you don't have to venture of the road to far in life necessarily to get something good. Also i cant make out wth is happening half the time. If this is made to look like your life and making choices then life, even when its dangerous is gdm boring as hell.

game is certainly ..odd....my take on this is...you lose by taking the path straight grandmas because it represents leading a safe life...the sunny start is (childhood) grandmas house ( she is old its dark and weird ) = death or the end of your life...so if you go straight to it you lose because you havent "lived" ...the woods are weird and supposed to be scary..and this where the girls find their desires or things that intrigue them...and they die anyway

yeah, you are a total failure if you end up going to work, sleep, eat and all over again for the rest of your life x) You are not a failure if you have fun and then get killed. Btw, I think that white kid is grandma's only grandchild (or whatever it's called, I'm Norwegian), because she doesn't die and she is the only one hanging on the wall above grandma (as a picture). All the other ones took the wrong path through life or something and ended up with a sucky life.

That is possible but, I think the girl in white merely represent innocence and purity (she doesn't have a wolf and she is able to go straight to grandma's house, and inturn not growing up). But, that's just my guess :)

I believe she was mauled to death by a wolf.
Kerisa 2 years ago
ther are many interpretations, but here is my take.
first of thers a very important fact about robin, she looks & seems innocent, yet she likes wolves. but these are probably figurative, the figure of robin portrays as a mask of purity, & the wolf portrays the dark and twisted temptations that she enjoys, or wishes to experience. then upon riding the wolf (giving into the temptation to do the wrong thing) she gets carried away and the wolf (her temptation) acts as the end of her.

siim686 2 years ago
"Mauled" essentially means attacked or injured. It's hard to describe exactly what it means, but it tends to imply that the attack was done by an animal or in an animalistic way, with repeated blows by parts of the attacker's body. So you can't really get mauled by a sword, but if someone punched you over and over then you could say you've been mauled.

i don't think you could say mauled for punching, it usually implies that the victim died too, so it's a bit more "slashy slashy" :]
