-Caveat Lector- Interesting.. now someone needs to do a conspiracy view of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" Five children... Augustus: dresses in brown, falls into thick brown muck (earth) Violet: dresses in blue, fills with liquid (water) Veruca: dresses in red, is sent to the furnaces (fire) Mike: dresses in white, is broken into particles and shot into the air (air) Charlie: Floats upwards gently.. (spirit) All of the adults (except Willy Wonka and 'Slugworth') come in matched pairs (George and Georgina, Joe and Josephine, Henry and Henrietta, etc...). In alchemy a frequently used symbol of an alchemical union is a hermaphrodite.. a being with both male and female attributes. Secret knowledge (the 'everlasting' Gobstopper, etc..) abounds, as well as trials used to weed out the weak and undeserving of this knowledge. The odd phrase by the tinker, 'No one goes in and nobody ever comes out' (or something like that). Is this actually some secret message about something? I don't know, I just picked this stuff up the other night while watching it. Maybe Marilyn Manson caught on and that's why the video for "Dope Hat" was made. Maybe not.
