Claire and Danielle Soul less Sistahs Just making verby on something that I m sure virtually everyone has noticed but not commented on Claire Littleton seems to have ben made to substitute for the deceased Danielle Rousseauwas as the WILD WOMAN of the island Claire was manipulated and later driven insane really l o o n y by the Man in Black The Smoke Monster otherwise revealed as the dead Christain Sheppard This is to say the least most intriguing as when Smokey attacked Danielle s crew and grusomely killed and then posessed her ppl she went slowly insane Smokey didn t kill the young Danielle though it had leisurely opportunity The last straw that sent her over the edge was Ben Linus s abduction of her baby daughter That in itself is a mystery We know that Ben was ordered to kill the child on orders of Charles Widdmore Now here s the mystery Did Widdmore order Ben to kill the baby on orders of Jacob Was it Widdmore s own descision or was Widdmore in league with Jacob or Smokey perhaps in one of his many guises And further though the island seems to have some prohibition against birthed children on its real estate the exceptions beng ETHAN ROM and the child saved with Juliet Burke s miracle cure Danielle s baby survives and grows How was this possible Again Rousseau was driven insane by Smokey but there is no indication that she ever made further contact with the entity in the years since Upon her and her daughter s murder shortly afterwards Smokey using his Christrian S guise lures Claire away abandoning her baby Aaron Now this demands explaination even in the wildcard logic of the series In speaking of wildcards did the island always have a crazy wild woman even before Rousseau If it had then this means that there has always been a purpose for her in configuration to the Jacob Smokey mix Or as we who are more rational would surmise the writers and producers overlooked this fact It would be in keeping with the Jules Verne novel The Castaways One of the protagonists was a pirate driven to wildness and insanity latter playing a pivotal role in the escue of the castaways The question still begs what is the purpose of the wild woman whether Claire or Danielle and what is she to the two masters of the island Were both women used as a raging one woman guerilla strike force to constantly harrass and keep in check the Others as both have done A control element perhaps This sounds insane as both Smokey and Jacob commissioned the Others as on the ground protectors of the island Were both pawns of Jacob AND Smokey in their eternal tug of war for dominance Or is the wild woman either of them like Hugo who is somewhat alleged to be insane given the peculiar grace to see and communicate with Jacob and altenately with the monster especially when the latter is in a more quiesent non murderous state veryverser Veryverser
