![]() ![]() "Emmeline" speaks to her in gibberish, and when Margaret repeats what she thinks she said to Vida Winter, she seemed to understand it.yet we never find out what she actually said- did we? Margaret assumed that she had said "the dead go underground", however that was not confirmed or clarified by Vida Winter that I could find. The scene where Margaret comes upon "Emmeline" digging in the garden puzzles me still. ![]() Remember during the experiment where the twins were separated- Emmeline adapted and managed to adjust to not being with her twin, but Adeline completely shut down, and that is what happened with the twin who survived the fire also. So even though the surviving twin may have been Adeline, she was referred to as Emmeline by default, and did not have the mental capacity to indicate otherwise. Lomax) already knew "Adeline" (the story teller) as the "normal" twin, she had to maintain that identity following the fire. Adeline was described as "the girl in the mist", but we know that the girl in the mist was actually the story teller (the third sister), impersonating Adeline part of the time. ![]() Recall that Hester had said that she felt that Emmeline could have a somewhat normal life, even marry someday. She could communicate somewhat, though Adeline is described as only speaking to Emmeline in the "twin language". Emmeline had always demonstrated more intelligence/understanding than Adeline did. I am inclined to think that it was Adeline who survived the fire as well. ![]()
