I don’t know why, but as soon as Ragatha mentioned coming from a rich family, my mind immediately made a connection to the Le Domas family from Ready or Not. I’m not sure why exactly — maybe it’s just the way she described her mother. I’m pretty sure her mom is a horrible person, and something tells me Jax reminds her of her. So honestly, Ragatha’s mom probably has a sadistic and selfish personality, just like the Le Domas characters. I know this theory kinda sucks, but it’s just a dumb connection I made. Still, if her family had lore similar to the Le Domas, that would actually be really cool.
I was reviewing this theory and came up with a very bold one: since we’ve seen quite a few connections to the past of Jax and Ragatha, what if it was actually Ragatha’s family that caused the corn trauma? Gooseworx confirmed that it reminds him of the farm, which Ragatha also mentioned. Think about it—Ragatha’s family might have made devil sacrifices, like the Le Domas family, to stay rich. So they use the staff from their estate as sacrifices, carefully selecting them.
If Jax had that same personality even before coming to the circus, then Ragatha’s family might have chosen to sacrifice him. But while Ragatha is chasing him down to kill him, she sees he’s younger than her and lets him escape into the cornfield. This would have angered her mother, who then kicks her out of the family.
It’s definitely the boldest theory, I know—but somehow, it all makes so much sense.
