I agree, smoke has a strong smell usually, fog does not have a smell. Unless of course it's mist from gases caused by a sewage leak or something. Otherwise it's smoke end of story... however I agree with gamer on the point. That the rain could have stopped, because Alessa transported Travis to the other world. I mean perhaps travis was only briefly transported to the otherworld, then woke back up again when he smells the smoke.
The only way for evil to continue, is for good men to do nothing!!!!

the child was so scared, said the lady. alessa being acared of something.........why do i get a bad feeling that im going to need a rifle?.....
i find this interesting. you know, the indians in the town told their religion and stories not through books, but through plays? most of them did. and conveniently, their going to reenact shakespear with an indian rictual twist.....
so its fitting that theres a library there, too. because it doesnt matter how, as long as the information gets to your brain somehow. for you, the stage is now a library. cool, huh?

Re: Bits, Bobs and Doo-Dads in SH:0
Cool, Shakespeare references in a Silent Hill game. That is just awesome and it combines two of my favorite things. Now I just need to get the game and a PS2.just a dead boy wrote:They are The ariel is discribed as an airy spirit within the Tempest itself. I( haven't read it yet, but I will most certainly do that in a while.Krist. wrote: Just know for now that the creatures called Ariels in the game are actually named after a character from "The Tempest."

The doors in the sanitarium that read "Mezzanine".
The definition of Mezzanine is: "An intermediate floor between main floors of a building." Though I would be more inclined to believe that the word is used as a reference to the Massive Attack album of the same name, which wouldn't be surprising being that Akira Yamaoka is a fan of Massive Attack and considering the Portishead references in SH1.
From an interview with Gamasutra:
Gamasutra: "Switching to a lighter subject, what bands do you like right now? Top five?"
Akira Yamaoka: "The Cult, PJ Harvey, Massive Attack, Metallica, and HIM."
I suppose I can forgive him for listing HIM...

no.....it must mean something.
lol, she might be right though....
ill try to remember some, but theres always a slight reference to something, its so stupid and indirect, you dont believe it, but it just might be..... like DOORKNOB or something, and it just reminds you of someone saying "doorknob" in a stephen king story...

^It's not a "she". Notice the little blue bunny.
And seriously, I'm not one of those "everything has deep significant meaning" types.
But to me the reference is obvious. Call me crazy.
I wish I could find the interview with Yamaoka where he states wanting the music in both SH:O and SHV to have more of a "Massive Attack sound"...
Anyhoo...

Massive Attack isn't a major influence in the series, only musically. But, see, the costume designer could love Prince--someone that doesn't get the recognition Yamaoka does--and no one would know.
The point remains the same: The door leads to a mezzanine. It's no more of a reference than a door being a reference to The Doors.

The Temest is the story of a Duke, Prospero, and his daughter, Miranda, who have been shipwrecked on an isolated, magic island, so that his enemies could usurp his throne. On the island, Prospero uses magic to enslave two of the island's inhabitants: Caliban, the monstrous son of a witch, who himself possesses no magic powers, and Ariel, a wind spirit. Caliban is a brute who tried to rape Miranda, resulting in his enslavement, while Ariel is a poor soul whom Prospero constantly promises to free from servitude but never does. The play unfolds in real time, as Prospero learns that his enemies are passing the island on a ship; Prospero conjures up a storm, the titular Tempest, to shipwreck them on the island with him. From there, a variety of plotlines unfold, as Caliban tries to form his own army with some of the henchmen from the ship to overthrow Prospero, and Prospero attempts to set his daughter up with a well meaning nobleman, the son of one of his enemies.
Points to consider:
* Unique amongst Shakespeare's plays, there is only one female character, Miranda.
* The play is infamous amongst Shakespeare's plays for the vast array of interpretations it can be/has been given. Although all of Shakespeare's works are open to be presented in a variety of ways, the text of the Tempest allows it to be presented as either a drama, romance, or comedy, depending on how one wants the lines to be delivered and characters to be portrayed. Caliban, in particular, has been depicted as things ranging from a homicial, savage maniac to simply a horny loser.
* The Tempest is believed to be Shakespeare's last original play, although some scholars have attempted to place it earlier in his canon.

ok I just did a sweep of the house and I didn't find a photo of Alessa and Dahlia in front of their house. All I found was the picture of PH, a bunch of religious paintings, and this one pic of this dude who I swear to god has a afro.
