So now that we know that one of the new characters is based on Auguste Dupin let‘s look at the purloined letter.

For those who don’t know, Auguste Dupin is Poe’s detective archetype, vastly considered to be one of the first/if not the first. Arthur Conan Doyle even references him when introducing Sherlock Holmes. The purloined letter is the last Dupin story, but it’s the one I’ll be focusing on, because it fits so well here. Dupin is tasked with retrieving a letter that has been used to blackmail someone. Since we have just been introduced to the letter written by Lenore that has some juicy details in it, it makes sense to assume this is what’s going to come into play later.

The interesting bit is however the surrounding circumstances of the story. Because I don’t think the letter will be used to blackmail Lenore. See, in the original story the letter is specifically used to blackmail the queen. It’s Annabel who is consistently referred to as the queen.

The letter is stolen by someone only referred to as Minister D. Duke at least fits that naming scheme and he also has the letter already.

Shot in the dark here, but I think Duke will read the letter and instead of turning on Lenore will be trying to blackmail Annabel with it, threatening her to expose her double game to her team.
