Nonsense. I am uncertain if anyone deserve to be killed or not, but with the negative light so many characters are portrayed at various times it's a definite possibility (that either the culprit or Beatrice feels that way), but that we're only supposed to feel sympathy for Beatrice is just nonsense. The serie went out of it's way to show us how Ange ended up feeling sympathy for someone like Kasumi, so I don't know what you've been reading.

Okay this is seriously exagerating, these boards aren't 4chan, and used to have some level of etiquette, seems like nearly everyone who talks like that joined october 2010, not too surprising I guess, but this is really just going too far.

Well, I only know the anime series and some complementary informations from the visual-novels, but I have a theory and I would like to know if it could contradict what you know from chapters 5 to 7.
Spoiler:
What do you think of it ? Does it work with latter chapters ? PS: Sorry if my english isn't that good, I really tried my best. Last edited by Glass Heart; 2010-10-28 at 17:12. |

Other than that, this is all pretty good, and don't worry about your English, it's fantastic. I'd highly recommend skimming the Visual Novel's first four episodes to elaborate on the anime's very brief and uninformative version of things, and then move on to 5 and onwards. |

You could argue that Beatrice wants Battler to hate her instead of the culprit but why make the game solvable then if it would eventually lead to the culprit. Or why engage in the game anyways, she could have left Battler ignorant in his death, ignorant is bliss as they say. Maybe someone asked for the truth to be revealed and in so binds Beatrice's to do so. |

It could be the "betting on a miracle" metaphor. Beatrice will not/cannot provide Battler with the truth and will in fact act to keep it from him, but the solvability remains as a method by which he could find the truth, on the one-in-a-million odds that he is actually able to do so.
Although read as a dialectic figure Meta-Beatrice is playing to lose because Battler's perception of Beatrice is a misinterpretation of facts which "she" (that is, the individual/idea/etc. she represents) wishes for him to overcome to attain the "true" picture. Hegel would have some things to say about ep6-7.

1. She wants Battler to figure out her mystery. 2. She wants to keep what really happened under wraps forever. The point is never for Battler to find out the truth of what happened on the island, the point is for Battler to discover her existence and understand her motivation. That's why the answer to her mystery isn't the same as "who killed the people on the island."

If Beatrice really wanted to keep everything wrapped forever, she would have better not written any message in the bottles.
The Rokkenjima incident was pretty much closed until someone found the second message. The incident is still a "case closed" for the authorities in 1998. The only things that keep everyone's interest still alive after that much time are those damn messages. The explosion worked quite efficiently at hiding forever whatever happened on that island, doing more could only worsen the situation. So in the end whoever wrote those messages is either and idiot or someone who doesn't want the world to accept the Rokkenjima incident as a simple incident.

Or is writing things which are intentionally not true (I think we can at least accept that none of the message bottles are the true account of the events, if nothing else) in order to convey a message to someone without being all that interested in "the truth."
