| Hemlock Grove / int_269e82c1 | comment |
Death of a Child: Shelley dies in infancy and is resurrected/reconstructed. Even Peter's cat wasn't safe from death. He's forced to kill his pet in order to speak to his dead grandfather for advice on how to kill the vargulf. | |

| Hemlock Grove / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: When Olivia reveals the truth about their family's powers to him, Roman chooses to kill himself rather than complete the transformation into a full Upir... But this is exactly what CAUSES the transformation and exactly what Olivia planned. | |

There Are No Psychologists: Somewhat subverted; Norman is a successful and empathetic doctor. However, all the patients we've seen him personally treat have ended up dead. He sleeps with Olivia for the first time when she visits him professionally, too. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Hemlock Grove / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Destiny: Can tell the future. Peter the Werewolf calls to mind "Peter and the Wolf". Shelley seems to reference Mary Shelley, since Shelley the child is a Frankenstein's Monster-like resurrection/creation of Olivia's dead daughter. The last name Rumancek translates to "Chamomile". There's a particular kind of chamomile known as Roman Chamomile. This implies that there's some sort of familial relationship between the Rumancek and Godfrey families. It's confirmed in the novel that Roman's mother Olivia gave birth to a child that was given to the Rumanceks to raise. Letha is in Greek mythology, "The river of forgetfulness, one of the five rivers in Hades." and "A condition of forgetfulness; oblivion." GOD-frey, just as Norman's wife says, "Godfreys get what they want" when asked how she and Norman got together. Chasseur means "hunter" in French. The man who claims to have died and been brought back to life is named Pullman. | |

Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: The way Shelley's emails seem.
