== The girls all represent the Grandmother's regrets. ==
Growing up, she made many mistakes and misjudgments. She played with dangerous things and was hurt. She got into accidents. She was betrayed by people she trusted. Time and again she ran into trouble, and looking back on her life, she thinks "What if...?" If only she could have avoided every pitfall, if only she could go back and do things over, knowing what she knows now.
Line 10:
 
== The Wolves And The Girl In White Are [[The Fair Folk]] ==
All of the forest characters, GIW included, have a distinctly "elven" flavor to them, [[White -Haired Pretty Boy|Scarlet's Wolf]] not the least of them. This, combined with the [[Mind Rape]] experience you have in Grandmother's house for each of them makes me believe that the wolves are fairies of the worst kind, the type that just wants to have a bit of harmless fun, [[And Call Him George|and yet have no idea what "harmless" for a human means]]. The Girl In White is a bit more benevolent, and yet when all the reds are dead, she attacks Grandmother in the belief that it will bring them back. Then again, they come back, so...Maybe she was right.
 
== The Red's Mother is the Original Red Riding Hood ==
Line 21:
 
Alternately, she drowned, which supports the water imagery around her.
** Or it could be an [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] on [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made Onon Drugs?|"High"]]. Which works, considering how separated from reality she gets in her comments.
** I don't know about Rose, but I got the impression that Ruby is dying, possibly of an illness related to her having to wear the leg brace. I believe she says something like that she probably won't live to be an adult at one point in the game, and she seems to have a focus on death.
*** Ruby is actually one of the most straightforward girls if you don't take into account what the girls mean collectively. She met a bad guy, hooked up with him and got in a car/bike accident that cost her her leg. Note the automobile themes in her grandmother's house, and how her final flashes of imagery are pictures of her "shattered". She contemplates quickening death(via smoking) because she feels that she's screwed up her life.
Line 74:
== The Forest shapes itself to what each girl is most curious about/likes/wants. ==
Robin is curious about death, so she stumbles upon the graveyard. Scarlet wants to be an accomplished musician, so she finds the theater. Ruby perhaps misses childhood and finds the playground. The Wolves of the other girls are found in the places the other girls think are most appropriate for them- Rose finds hers at the lake, Carmen at a camp (and since her Wolf is a lumberjack, it makes sense) and Ginger at a field of flowers.
** So the forest is really [[Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game)|the Hedge]]?
 
== The forest is [[The Matrix]] ==
