August Wayne Booth/Pinocchio Character Analysis

[*The Looking Glass*]

I like August's character. He seems to be pretty honest and friendly, and most of all, he wants to help Emma and Henry...hopefully. So, whoever he turns out to be, I'll still like him.

I believe whoever is in the book that Henry is reading has a Storybrooke and Fairy Tale counterpart. Emma is in the book so I think she has a FTL character. Henry is not so he does not. You have to be either mentioned in the book or at least 28 years of age. So everyone younger than 28 years of age not mentioned in the book will not apply. I think Emma is Alice in Alice in Wonderland. It seems like the Queens of Hearts hates Regina. Cora does not hate her daughter because even though she does not care for her feelings she does everything out of "love". Snow does not seem to have that much hate even thought she did want to kill her at one point. Emma is the only one that can have that much hate or disdain to say that she is not Queen Regina but simply Regina and that there is only one Queen, her mom Snow would be the only Queen in her life.

The thing is that i think Emma's counterpart is the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming.

Yes, that is true and it is right in front of our very eyes. I may well be just that. We tend to overthink someone that may just as simple as that. Emma is mentioned in the book as Emma, except she's also Emma. daughter of snow White and Prince Charming/ The Savior and Emma the Bailbonds Woman/ Bounty Hunter/ Sherill of Storybrooke. Regina is Regina in both except she's Evil Queen Regina/ Evil Witch Regina/ Regina, daughter of Henry and Cora/ Regina, Snow White's stepmother and Mayor Regina/ Henry's adopted mother. Point being the two share similarities.
1) Both are in Henry's book
2) In the book their nicknames', jobs and titles change but they have the same name in both worlds.
That's enough for to say that she is just simply Emma and needs to remember and believe that she is the daughter of Snow White and Prince "Charming" James, so she now needs to just help Mary Margaret and David remember and believe themselves. August and Henry are just there for support and help. She needs to start trusting and letting them help her. She may be the savior but even a savior needs help too.

Lemurs: Spectral tarsiers - lemur. Tree Dwellers.
Spectral = Spirit

The writer of the show asked us to pay attention to the lemurs. August tells Ruby Lemurs reflect light in their eyes yet there is no light reflecting in these particular lemurs eyes. Could this be a metaphor for light being good, meaning August is a vengefull spirit (no light - dead or evil.)

Yes. a lot of people took this along with those Wizard of Oz references to mean he was the Wizard or that there will be a Wizard of Oz scenario. The problem with that unlike a Wonderland sceario is that the characters of Oz are consistant throughout the whole story. The whole story centers around the corp of four. Whereas Wonderland is unique enough as we have seen that each character of Wonderland either Wonderland or Looking Glass can stand on its own. We have seen that already in Hat Trick. The Wizard of Oz makes more sense if we all see it as Storybrooke gathering slowly its own corp of four. Emma, Henry, Hopper and August and use the whole entire story of Oz and the strategies the four use to get to Oz, get the brain, heart, courage and the ability to go home at Emerald City. In Emerald ciyt the 4 meet a fifth Oz whoever this mysterious fifth in Storybrooke is will complete the dispelling of the curse. Well this is just a thought.......I have no hard proof of this. I can be wrong and have been in the past on other shows. What does anybody think about this???

Kitsis said to pay attention to the lemurs. Lemurs are animals that reflect light, which metaphorically could mean light = good. The did not reflect any light when August looked at them. Could this mean August is baddddddddd lol

Remember even members of the good guy squad can do good but have evil intent.

I also agree that August is really Pinocchio. When I re-watched the episode "7:15 am" the other week I thought it was interesting that the mysterious box that held his typewriter was made out of wood and looked like it was hand made and polished. Maybe the wood the box was made out of is the same wood that Pinocchio and Gepetto used from the tree that hid Emma, as well as the same wood that created Pinocchio, himself.

Ooo! I didn't even think of that! Good catch!
