Taxidermy Is Creepy | |
| The Doll Factory / int_2169c95c | comment |
Taxidermy Is Creepy: Silas' job and desire to become known for his unique taxidermy informs his overall unsettling vibe from his first scene. Albie calls him a "dangerous man", and it's initially presumed Albie is simply creeped out by the taxidermy. | |

Oblivious to Love | |
| The Doll Factory / int_2848e7d2 | comment |
Oblivious to Love: Or oblivious to obsession. Iris has no memory of ever meeting Silas (suggesting he may have even hallucinated their first meeting), unaware of his stalkery fixation on her. | |

I Am Not Pretty | |
| The Doll Factory / int_2bc77899 | comment |
I Am Not Pretty: Both Iris and Rose have self esteem issues, Iris' stemming from her twisted collarbone and Rose's stemming from her smallpox scars. Even if they are not unattractive young women, their "flaws" ostracise them. | |

The Resenter | |
| The Doll Factory / int_483152c4 | comment |
The Resenter: Rose, whose face is covered in smallpox scars and who lacks marriage prospects as a result, is bitter and resents her formerly identical twin Iris. It's further compounded by her belief that Iris is to blame for her former love interest Charles leaving her, as Iris brought him to visit Rose when she was ill. | |

Hallucinations | |
| The Doll Factory / int_dd234c2f | comment |
Hallucinations: Silas seems to hallucinate interactions with people, causing him to have a very distorted view of reality. | |

Male Gaze | |
| The Doll Factory / int_dfb71617 | comment |
Male Gaze: Deconstructed in the So Beautiful, It's a Curse sense. Iris grows uncomfortable with how objectified she is as a model — her likeness is literally turned into an object for men to purchase. This has additional implications for a young unmarried woman in Victorian London, as it's a job that lacks respectability and leaves her reliant on Louis. | |

Secret Other Family | |
| The Doll Factory / int_f0df1a7f | comment |
Secret Other Family: Louis has been hiding from Iris that he was married to a mentally unstable woman named Sylvia, with whom he had a son. His justification when she finds out is that he was worried she would not accept his offer, and also that he did not intend to develop feelings for Iris. | |
