Talk:Jägertroth

Couple of (or so...) things that should be (maybe, maybe some in /Mad, maybe some elsewhere, with Captain Vole) included here that I'm not sure how/willing to do gracefully ATM: ⚙Zarchne 16:42, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Troth is still used on occasion as in "betrothal"
 * 2) hence, "troth" is like "covenant", it indicates a sacred (or maybe "unholy" in this case) family bond
 * 3) Vole could be said to be divorced, then. This isn't (seen to be so much) a big deal today, but divorce was a big deal in Victorian times (I read that in one (New England?) U.S. state it used to be the case that each divorce required an act of the state legislature).
 * 4) what binds the jaegers together is their loyalty to the Heterodyne. The apparent end of the House of Heterodyne was a major factor in Vole's renunciation/divorce.
 * 5) I believe the cause for Vole's wanting to kill Agatha may be that he feels he can't go back to being a Jaeger; he has committed himself to the fact of the end of House Heterodyne.
 * 6) We all think Vole is a major loser, but his "redemption" (a là the book of Hosea) could turn out to be part of the story.
