A theory I had shuffling around in my head that I haven't seen anyone else piece together yet. There's a lot to unpack so buckle up.
I know I misspelled debacle as "debocle", please just ignore that...
VIDEO SEGMENTS:
00:00 - Queen
02:51 - Noelle
05:50 - Susie
08:06 - Kris
12:35 - Berdley
14:42 - Ralsei
17:10 - Conclusion
TL;DW:
Queen embodies an archetype of mother that is exaggerated nearly beyond recognition. Through her interactions with the kids, though, we can see how each child interacts with their own mother, through the archetypal mother. It adds a lot more depth to the existing characters, and their parents and personal lives, but is also a highly specific reading of the events in chapter 2.
