In Which the Author Rants about Hair

As an insomniac, I am frequently awake and bored in the late hours, so here I am, putting up a post about one of my own little observations. Please bear with me here :)

Okay, so I was taking pictures for the next post, and I realized something. Near the end of the next post, Thetis changes her hairstyle. Now, this really has nothing to do with anything, just a random observation I made that I thought was kind of cool, and maybe worth sharing. Now that Thetis has changed her hairstyle, it would seem that the every woman's hairstyle represents her relationship with her husband.

Geneva:

Geneva's hairstyle is both tight and elegant, two words that can be used to describe her relationship with Roderick, which is really more for show than anything. However, if you look closely, you'll notice a few stray hairs poking out in various places, and some that look as though they are struggling to free themselves of their binds, much like Geneva herself, as we've seen with the steward, as well as her seeming attraction to Dalston.

Celina:

Lina's hairstyle is very beautiful, but quite delicate, much like her and Dalston's budding relationship. Also, you can tell just by looking at it that it takes a lot of time and effort to get all that hair into place, but in the end, it's worth it.

Medea:

Medea is unique in the fact that she is the only woman for which a restrained hairstyle is indicative of the upper hand in her marriage. There is never a hair out of place, and whole look screams strictly business, which is exactly what her relationship with Octavius is.

Alina:

Alina's hair hangs free and daintily unrestrained, which is exactly how Severin makes her feel. That hairstyle is just so... Alina. Beautiful, perfectly suited to her, and very flattering, it is the kind of hair that never fails to make other women jealous.

Honora:

Like Alina, Honora has a youthful, free hairstyle, representing her new-found freedom in her husband. However, from certain angles, a good part of Honora's face is concealed, indicative of the fact that she and Adonis are essentially mysteries to one another, whereas Alina's hair generally stays out of her face, as there are no secrets in her marriage.

Electra:

Electra's hair is kind of a mess. There's an illusion of freedom to it, as it does hang long and curls where it wants to curl, but at the same time, it would take a while to comb out those tangles and wash out all that grime. Such is Electra's relationship with Florian--since they're not in love, Florian wouldn't care if she had an affair or anything, but she really doesn't have time for that since she's stuck nursing him back to health, possibly in vain.

Arydath:

Arydath uses her green scarf to keep her hair back, giving the illusion of containment, but when she takes it off, it flows freely and somewhat wildly. As seen in the last post, Arydath acts controlled and submissive to Halford when in the company of others, but when she and her husband are alone... Halford, watch out!

Thetis:

This new hairstyle Thetis is sporting, which is what brought on this post, is a tight, unyielding style of almost total restraint. Try as you might, that hairstyle is not about to come undone easily. Thetis is completely dominated by Norwan in every way, and as much as she wants to escape, like that short lock you can see dangling at the top of her forehead, she's basically stuck.

And so concludes my first little author's rant. Hopefully it wasn't a total waste of time :)
