Like, the biggest super fan of all time, so much so that they just never left the theater. On top of that, based on what Salzella tells Mister Bucket, it sounds like the Ghost of the Opera House isn’t a ghost at all, but someone who just REALLY LOVES THE THEATER. As far as I could tell, the Opera House is operating terribly. It’s not like these deaths and accidents are bringing in a better audience. Truthfully, I couldn’t even hazard a guess at this point. That’s absolutely the case when it comes to the Ghost, who may or may not be killing people around the Opera House. If you analyze her within a comedy narrative, Agnes is the – forgive the lack of a better term – straight man, the one who sees things as they are and never seems to allow herself to be as ridiculous or absurd as everyone around her. Small ones, sure, but as for the major one that links everything together? I don’t know what that is yet! But there’s a lot of information here to sift through, so let’s get to it! With Maskerade, though, Prathett ramps up his parody/extended reference of The Phantom of the Opera, but I don’t quite see a conflict yet. You know, it’s a neat coincidence that both of the books I’m reading are dealing with set-ups at the same time. Intrigued? Then it’s time for Mark to read Discworld. In the third part of Maskerade, both Mister Bucket and Agnes learn of the Ghost that haunts the opera.
