LOVE NEVER DIES - hidden plot symbolism- intro- BaMS (Act 1)

Thanks! I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought it might be a forshadowing for Meg. I used different links to find the symbolism of rats but here they are :

I think that's all of them =)

***Also going back to the scene in POTO ... ever notice how many rats you see??? At first you see 2, but then they cut to one more rat...making a total of 3!*** (Just another way of showing what you had mentioned earlier with the STYDI scene- and the changing of Meg's character in LND).

By showing two rats we can see that Meg was possibly possessed by the Phantom spirit when she took the mask at the end of POTO (like Rose had mentioned) and by showing the third rat, that Meg will also become evil in LND.

THREE rats??!!! (How in the world did I miss that? lol)
Again- magnifica!
You have definitely found a link!
And it is really interesting about it also linking to LND...even though ALW said his show is separate from anything done before, it's obvious he carried on that concept of Meg associated with evil into LND...and used that symbolism of the movie with her, in her scenes...

wow. this is way awesome! one thing though.... her hair is always up. i remember before in the POTO movie, you always pointed out that hair up was for R and hair down was for E. maybe it's constantly up becuase of her so called marriage to R. trapped in a "loveless" marriage.

i so love the actor that plays Gustave.
