| I got a bit confused about Jack. Here's a passage: "…In the first place, Jack wasn’t a [human] when she was alive. In 1888, there were tens of thousands of prostitutes in London. The abortion methods back then were too unskilled and rough, and the children who should have been born were treated like trash. Their corpses were discarded into the river that flowed through the East End district where the prostitutes lived, and their hatred and grudges accumulated in the stagnant river. The grudges of the tens of thousands of children who were denied even the right to be born gradually started to take human form. Eventually, a very young girl who couldn’t even be called a prostitute wandered the streets of East End without knowing why. Why she was born, why she was sad, why she was cold—she didn’t know anything. She didn’t know, but she at least understood that she wanted something. In such a state, she happened to meet a woman. When she walked towards the woman and unconsciously called out [Mother], Jack was terribly abused. Getting abused was hard, painful and only left her sad. So she killed the woman. Killing her was unexpectedly easy. The organs she took out of her after dismembering her were warm, as if they were a sign of love. The next day, there was a huge ruckus when the woman’s corpse was discovered. She killed a second woman and then a third. And as she did so, she was given a name by the people. Jack the Ripper—It made her happy. Because she hadn’t known her own name either until then. When rumors went around saying that ‘Jack must be a doctor based on his dissection technique’, she was delighted. The people she hated the most in this world were doctors—because they were the ones who kept killing children like her. After killing several prostitutes, she then died. It wasn’t due to any significant reason. A certain magus merely noticed that the bizarre murders were crimes done by a demonic being and promptly dealt with her." So does that basically say that Jack was some sort of a demon born from the despairing souls of the unborn, and instinctually went after women for mothers. Is her being a demon also a reason why her dissection skills are so great? The wiki says something entirely different about her being just a little girl who went missing. I'm a bit confused, can someone confirm this or correct this interpretation? |
