Q:What do you think of the S6 spoilers of Emma and Hook getting married???
Considering the wedding dress scene, a proposal or a wedding seem likely. I’m assuming that article was unconfirmed speculation, unless it’s such an unimportant plot point they don’t mind giving it away. If it were to happen in the first episodes of the next season for example, it would change the meaning, because then it’s not where the weight of the season lies.
Also doesn’t worry me one bit.
If you check out this post by @malefistache, you can see how they’re subtly shown to be the anti-Snowing couple. We’ve already had the anti -True Love Kiss for them, the anti-heart split. The “I will always find you” mission Emma admitted she regrets.
So are we getting the anti-wedding?!! Seriously, bring it on, please!
Especially with the return of this precious dark angel.
We all know what her hobby is.
Maybe she gets to win, just this once? Maybe sometimes we need a Dark Queen to make the difficult decision for our own self protection? Who knows. Plenty of stories could unfold with all the players brought on during the Season finale. Somebody needs to protect Emma from making a mistake, after all. I’m counting on the Queen.
On a more serious note, though, I’ve been looking into Hook, trying to figure out what he stands for. I’m still researching, and I’ll do a proper post about it after I’ve read more, but I think he may be what Jung called the archetype of “The Animus”. You have to see him in relation to Emma.
From what I gather, a man has an anima, a woman has an animus. So if Hook is the Animus, he is Emma’s inner masculinity. Except it’s far more complicated than that. Essentially the Animus is some sort of compilation of the men we’ve encountered in our life, it’s our view of men. Generally the relationship with the father has a very strong influence on what the Animus is like, but with Emma being an orphan, you can imagine it’s made up of different men - many of them not so great.
When we first meet Hook, he’s a sexual predator, an opportunist. She has a very negative view on men, but as a result, she also has a negative view on the masculinity within herself, because we all are both. So for Emma to grow as a person, her relationship with the Animus needs to evolve. Her image of men has to evolve enough so she can accept that part of herself. So I think that’s what we’ve been seeing. It’s Emma who is starting to heal, in a sense, by having more positive relationships with men, like Henry and Charming.
So along with that view is also an acceptance of the more masculine aspects of who she is. They are now split off from her into Hook, but they should become part of her again eventually. We saw that she expressed more characteristics that we would call masculine at the beginning of the series. After she found her parents, Hook appeared and the masculinity became less and less pronounced. I suspect what it means is that by having this separate character act out that side of her, she can work on it. It’s probably also why there’s a strong connection between Hook and Charming, for example.
So as the possibilities of what her inner masculinity can be improve, she becomes more ready to accept that part of herself as well. IF they decide to go ahead and actually give them a marriage, I would think it would symbolize Emma finally accepting that part of herself and making him part of her again, literally. So a successful marriage would somehow mean Hook would have to disappear and Emma becoming whole again.
Anyway, just started reading, so I’ll elaborate - or correct - once I’ve read more.
