Rodden Rating: C
Rectified: Isaac Starkman (for 2:52:54AM LMT)
Notes: I took a look at the source notes on astro databank & the quote "three hours after .. mother left the theater" was the key. I took a look at opening hours. One source (counterfire.org) claims programmes started at 6.30pm went on until after midnight. So looking back at the time listed on astro databank it made sense to go with starkman's theory if she left 3 hours after the theatre closed for the night. However, I decided to focus on a more stable & reliable placement the sun, & noticed mercury conjunct & pluto semi square his sun. You also have USA pluto conjunct his sun. This area in late capricorn deals with clear characteristics that're revolting or mysterious. With all the Pluto in the sequence it was interesting to see the connection behind Poe's choice of words when he reffered to the "Night's Plutonian shore" from his poem The Raven it refers to the underworld, the realm of the dead in Greek mythology. Hell & the Underworld are also key astrological themes for the planet itself.

Ian: "what do you think these riddles mean as a whole? Explain this detailed summary of events."
Chatgpt-4o: "The riddles appear to depict a dark, eerie atmosphere where a troubled individual grapples with tormenting thoughts and the intrusion of mysterious, supernatural elements. The narrative revolves around a protagonist who is haunted by obscure messages, disembodied voices, and symbols of death, such as a vulture or a phantom, leading to psychological unraveling. The riddles emphasize themes of madness, isolation, and the relentless pursuit of meaning in chaos, reflecting a tale of despair, guilt, and the futile search for redemption in a mind consumed by darkness. In this grim scenario, the protagonist's experiences are marked by bewilderment, paranoia, and a descent into madness, provoked by cryptic and foreboding signs from beyond. A figure or presence, whether symbolic or real, exacerbates the character's mental instability by delivering ominous and unsettling revelations. This motif explores the fear of the unknown, self-doubt, and the internal conflict that ultimately leads to the protagonist's psychological downfall, with an air of mystery and unresolved horror lingering throughout the narrative."
