"Let me burn"

Post by **Tears of...** » 24 Jul 2007

When Travis dicovered Alessa's chared and burnt body, she opens her eyes and cries out :"Let me burn". From this line, and the events of silent Hill 1, did alessa really want god to be born? Did she want to die when Travis was about to save her? What was going through her mind at the time?

I often wonder what her real intensions were when she said that line, maybe the game will let us find out??

maybe she thought it was too late for her not to die

Maybe it wasn't Alessa, but Incubus.

did alessa really want god to be born?

Not particularly. She went along with it because her mother told her to, and even then she was hesitant. She just wanted to please, and be with, her mother. Though she probably did have some rudimentary belief in the cult's teachings.

she didnt want to suffer any more. if she had just burned the god inside of her would have died with her. they needed to keep her alive to feed god with pain and suffering. PERSONALLY I would rather just die instead of being a tortured burn victim for seven years

Â«they needed to keep her alive to feed god with pain and sufferingÂ»

I don't understand, I mean, surely the god was being feed by Alessa's pain, but Dahlia's intentions was to keep her in the house and let her burn, right? It didn't happen anyway, a guy got there and saved Alessa, I'm not sure she had to be taken out of fire before she totally burned down.

who knows what dahlias intentions were and who knows what would have happened if allessa just deid. no one knows because it didnt happen. maybe dahlia was planning to save her at the last second. as I said no one knows because it didnt happen

I'm just saying that it probably didn't happened as Dahlia wanted it to, because some part of Alessa's spirirt escaped as the ritual wasn't entirely successful, the ritual kept in a suspended state. I think Dahlia wanted to give her daughter as a sacrifice.

>>I think Dahlia wanted to give her daughter as a sacrifice.
no the original plan was to burn her to the point of near death. I believe that the reason the soul escaped was because when travis found her she wasnt near death just severly burned. hence 'let me burn'

who knows what dahlias intentions were

Anyone who was paying attention knows what her intentions were.

To have Alessa birth god, reshape the world and gain power for herself.

That would not be possible. Yes you would want to die, but remeber in SH1 dahlia used a magic spell to keep her alive in a endless nightmare. So that the other half or her soul (cherel) would here her crys and pain and be drawn back to her.

No. Dahlia did.

You misunderstood what I said.

Post by **Silent Fantasy** » 25 Jul 2007

that what i thought.

Post by **King Crimson** » 25 Jul 2007

so youre saying that she was using that spell when she was burning her alive. sounds like an assumption to me

I wasnt talking about her overall plan. I was talking about the burning of the child. whether or not she was just going pull her out of the fire at the last second or what. Im just saying its impossible for us to know because travis showed up

If I recalled correctly, Dahlia said that after alessa was burnt....we see that cutsee in the last section of Nowhere....Dahlia, Kaufman, and two other doctors were huddled over alessa's already burnt body and discussing where to go next since the ritual was half complete.......therefore it could be possible that alessa wanted to die right there and then instead of being a burnt victim for 7 years....

the fact that Alessa say's "Let me burn" Shows that she did not want the god to be born.... Dahlia's intentions would to cause suffering.. and to sacrafice her daughter.. in order to release her soul.. at least.. that's the way it seems to me.. however you all make a good point in your comments.. but "Let me burn" is a good brain teaser for sure..
