After rereading this chapter, I started forming a new theory! Hansel and Argus share the same color palette and have a strikingly similar eye shape.
Most readers lean toward the idea that Argus is somehow tied to Maleficent, and that might still be true, since he’s clearly involved with a queen (whether that’s still Guinevere or even Morgana in the new version, both of whom have been linked to Maleficent). But what if he’s actually Grimhilde’s brother? It’s possible Quetzal created a new body for him, an adult one rather than a child, like she did with Rose Red, and that Argus now refers to one of the women from the Citadel as his “mother,” who also happens to be a sorceress.
He certainly wouldn’t recognize his sister Gretel, since she not only looks completely different now but even goes by a different name, and she, in turn, would never realize it’s him, because as far as she knows, her brother has been dead for years.
Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but the way he hesitated with the food in the Nexus really stood out. If he is Hansel and still remembers pieces of his past, he definitely wouldn’t risk eating food from strangers after what happened to him.
Well, that theory is not new. Some readers, including myself, came in that exactly same theory a couple of years ago. but Sonne say it just coincidence. 🤔 For other side, it as a couple of years ago so the narrative perhaps changed.
I don´t know how the time between world work but, if the world of Aurora and Philip its the same of Merlin and King Arthur. In the movie the Sword in the Stone its set around somewhere between 500 – 1000. Aurora live in the 14th century, araund 1300 – 1400, so Argus/Lancelot is like 300 or 400 years old in this point. How he could be Hansel?
Oh, I’m sorry! I hadn’t noticed any comments about it, or at least, I don’t remember seeing them. It’s cool to see that more people came to the same conclusion!
Hmm… It was established that the reason Quetzal gave Rose Red an adult body instead of her original child form was because she would be stuck with it forever. Characters who go through this process don’t age.
This could apply to Argus as well, making him immortal.
