The Haunting of Hill House Theodore. It's written on Red by Lord Stuart. When we discussed writing a character analysis of each crane sibling, I jumped at the chance to write about Theo. She was the character I related to. It enjoyed the most, despite me being the knell of my family. How do I relate? Wow, she reminds me a lot of the younger, self destructive me. Me. Before I learned I couldn't have loved people. I lost any more than I did before. I learned that nothing I could have done differently would have made a difference. And that no matter how much I punish myself, it wouldn't bring them back. The ghosts of our past Always lurking in the shadows. Theo is the middle child, the bridge between her siblings with the elders, Steven Shirley being far more sceptical of the ghosts living among them than her two younger siblings, twins Lukas Nele, who bore the brunt of the hauntings. This may have been an age thing. 20 young minds were open to everything where Stephen surely had learned more about life and blocked out some of the fantastical to make way for the logical Theo sat firmly in the middle, cursed with the gift of touch sensitivity to the past, which meant she not only felt her own fears and grief, but the pain, memories and sometimes even future of anyone on anything she touched. In the flashbacks to her childhood in Theatres on Bottle episode, we see her sleeping in her bedroom at Hill House, the only witness the hand of the ghost that climbs into bed with her and clasps her hands tightly. But a sleepy Theo believes it is nearly. It's hard to say whether this was the moment she gained her powers of Sai Comma tree, or whether she already had the gift laying dormant, passed down from her grandmother to her mother and then on to her and, in a lesser sense, her sisters. Whatever the case, it seems her powers awakened fully after this encounter. I wonder if she was right about it being merely just the grown up dead. Nearly the bent neck lady with it said that the five siblings represent in there. Both order the five stages of grief this family plants Theo in the third stage. Bargaining For Theo, this means a lifelong burden of guilt for not protecting Luke and now from the trauma that latched onto them. She chooses to become a child psychologist, as if a bargaining tool with the powers that be. That little voice that lives in everyone's head is that if she works hard enough to help other Children through their dramas, she could make amends for the pain of her siblings. To be able to achieve this dream, she chooses to take the money from Steve's **** House book sales $15,000 that will pay for her study. It's a risk we had to take it, knowing that if she really ever finds out, it could sever their relationship. There's also an emotional price to pay to help the Children she works with. She has to take on their pain, feel how they feel. But it's worth it to her. Why not make something good out of the drama she went through and use it to help others? She meets a little girl as emotionally boxed up as her. It's interesting that Theo is determined to help her, more than anyone to break down her walls and learn what was inside her that was hurting her so badly tends out that the girl's foster father was molesting her. She was hiding the monster behind a smile, smiling face on the ceiling, ingrained in the wood that peered down on her while she was being violated was the stuff of nightmares. You saw it when she laid on the sofa in the basement where the crimes took place. The face of Mr Smiley would haunt those dreams, too. Punishing herself was something a Theo learned to do from a young age. When looks inquisitive, nature got the better of him and Theo court and playing in the dumbwaiter, she gave in to his nagging and let him continue to play in it. It didn't go according to plan, and he was shuttled down into the basement, where a particularly nasty skeletal ghost grabbed him and rip his pyjamas. Thea's parents scolded her for allowing this to happen. I know that seemed harsh on Theo, it wass, but I also know how it feels when you're so scared for your child safety that you shouted. Hm, You want to frighten them into not doing anything like that again. Theo takes it badly, though she believes what happened to Luke was her fault, and she tries to make it better by using her gift. She's pained by looks anguish over the fact that no one believes what he saw in the basement and that no one believes his friend Abigail Israel. But Theo knows he is telling the truth. When she touches his arm to make amends for his ordeal, she sets out to prove him right. The basement was not on the blueprints of the house, but she senses her way to it and discovered a bootlegging ledger that held some of the former occupants secrets. It is this incident on an earlier one, when she sensed that box her father wanted to chuck out, had an old and rare bottle of wine inside that prompted her mother, Olivia, to talk to Theo about a sensitive nature. They could both feel the cold spots, but for Theo, the whole house was cold and full of memories, some very unpleasant. She always wore thick sweaters to keep the skin from prickling up on her arms. For Theo, her mother, understanding her would have been a tremendous relief. She would no longer have felt like a weirdo. This wass, at least for the crane women normal. Olivia gave Theo her first pair of grab Mr Protector when she felt overwhelmed by all the messages she was continuously receiving. The mother also told her she would always be there for her to talk to about it. But of course she wasn't. And Theo knew she wouldn't be, since you've already seen her mother's future when she touched her hand that day, thus forward to the last day in the house, her father told her to take the twins and run, and when he touched her arms, she had visions of what he had seen and done. A little girl on the staircase, a woman's ghostly face, skeletal remains of a former resident who had bricked himself in the door to the red room and her father violently pushing her mother against the wall. Taken with a vision she'd had of her mother's smashed up face and dead eyes. It would be easy for Theo to assume her father killed their mother, but she didn't get to learn the truth until way into adulthood. In a further flashback, we see Theo dancing too cold hearted by poor Abdul. This is Theo's read room space here she's alone, lost in the music, free of burden. In the present day, there always is alone. She was back then, even in a club full of people, the abilities of a touch of allowed it to help others simultaneously. It's always been a form of isolation, the gloves keeper from having to deal with the ghosts of everyone else's passed on top of her room. So on the surface, Ethiopia is hard and cold, who words as blunt as a bat across the skull and as sharp as a razor. This becomes more apparent when we learned that she brings the conveyor belt of lovers back to the annex at Shirley's funeral home to **** the pain away. Sex must be a truly mind blowing experience for Theo, in the moments of pure lust that she would only feel her partner's pleasure, their insatiable need for her and she'd know exactly what they wanted from her sector's the least emotionally complicated with someone you barely know, at least in the throes of passion, One night stands a just enough of a taste of being loved to make it addictive. But like all drugs, they have the tendency to make you feel awful the morning after. So she pushes away anyone that wants to become closer, making here appear callous, cruel and a user. The truth is, she's frightened of taking on the responsibility of someone else's feelings. I refer again to Theo being the middle child spot that she identifies with not only numerically but existentially in between Charlie and Luke. She blends their natures with her own. She's not quite as angry and bitter is surely, though she shares the same resentment towards now for taking her own life, knowing what effect it would have on those that she left behind and not quite a self destructive but Luke, but not far off. She certainly Heitor feelings at the bottom of a bottle on a regular basis. The moment you really learn who a person is is when they seem to contradict themselves. And there was nothing but a contradiction. A clenched fist protecting a delicate rose. Theo. Self destructive tendencies reached fever pitch the night before nails funeral when the family congregates at the funeral home. By this point, you has already dared to visit now's body in the mortuary alone. When she touched her, she jumped back in horror, devastated to feel absolutely nothing from her sister's skin. At this moment, she realises that her little baby sister is dead and that is it. There is nothing more. It's quite a strange phenomenon that realisation in a show all about ghosts. There is no life after death, only memories held by others. What wants your mistakes and regrets the things that you wish you'd done better? And the hard truth is that there is nothing after our bodies give up the ghost. A storm is brewing that night, and Theo goes on a bender, becoming more intoxicated and wound up and drinking to bring back my dead sister, she spits. The tension between the cranes runs high and ends up with a big showdown between Shirley and Theo, with some painful truth revealed on all sides. Shelly mocks Theo Sai Comma Trias. If it weren't Riel have to revenge. The hotel said that she took the royalties from Steve's book, which leads to Shirley's husband, Kevin, admitting he'd done the same. Theo and Kevin end up together in the pantry, feel on the hunt for more vodka and to feel something in the darkness. She makes a romantic London Kevin. She has no attraction to him at all. He's a man for a start, but more than that, he is totally out of bounds. He could have been anyone, but he says Sister's husband, it's about as bad a sentence she could commit. Cold, dead body have now left her feeling nothing. Blackness, numbness, a vast, empty space. And she wanted to feel anything, even grief, guilt, shame and just someone's heart beating. And it worked. She felt everything again. 10 fold. She had wanted to be punished, and she wass punished by the fear of losing her one remaining sister. She will eventually admit this to sheerly at the side of the road as they travelled to Hill House to save Luke Does The Phantom of Nell that shakes the disgrace out of Theo on honesty. Paws out at the house, the Red Room does its very best to eat them all up, making them face their worst nightmares. The Theo this an intimate moment with her two night stand. Trish. When Theo touches Tricia's face and body, she can't feel anything, not even the fear or guilt that she would usually dress laser down and tells her the tale about the man in Hill House who bricked himself up inside the walls to try and escape the fear and guilt. But all he did was break them up in there with him, the hands of former lovers, the ghosts of Theo's past grab and pull it, her body and face almost suffocating her. At this moment, Theo is saved. Sometimes, as Theo found out, you have to become numb to realise just how much you want to feel again. His storey as we know it, ends when she forms a stable, healthy relationship with Trish and allows herself to be happy in breaking down the walls. She finds her moment of redemption. She is forgiven the gloves. Khun, come off! Thank you for listening to this audio article from 25 years later. Site to dot com Intro Nitro theme provided by Ryan Linage
