She is beautiful but demure, strong-willed yet kind, and above all she is innocent, which Jade considers to be an essential quality in a final girl.įor those not familiar with the term, the “final girl” is a recurring slasher-movie trope first identified and named by Carol J. This she recognizes as “the blood sacrifice the ritual needs to get going right.” Another sign is Letha herself. She sees the signs of this everywhere, beginning with the discovery of the corpse of a Danish tourist found floating in the lake. The pop culture Jade marinates in, that has penetrated seemingly every cell in her body, is slasher movies, and she believes that a slasher narrative is about to commence in real life, right in Proofrock. Jade’s hoping for worse, which is why she’s so excited to meet Letha.
