Our characters are at least as awful as these people.

Any woman writing on the internet, especially if she writes as a feminist, will get disgusting/rapey/terrifying/nonsensical/hateful comments from dudes like the ones I've linked to below (ask me about mine!). They're out there. I've dredged the bottom of the barrel and found some disturbing stuff. Here's a sample:

This article was written by a man but published in a women's magazine, about why men prefer "innocent girls" to "bad girls." He literally compares women who aren't virgins to dirty black snow on the side of the road. That's definitely what Shwarz thinks sex does to people (especially women). It's also why Shöning would rather marry the Baron's pretty schoolgirl daughter than "whore" Lulu (though he doesn't mind fucking her). They put women into "buckets" of good girl you can take home to mom and bad girl you can fuck but not really care about. He also doesn't like women who know more than he does. Yikes.

This guy hates women so much, when he sees a hot girl, he starts to look at her as if she's a dangerous animal in the zoo to stop himself from wanting to have sex with her. (There's also a weird furry porn image of a tiger in a dress at that link.)

"When saying that you want to rape and cut up a woman with a band saw is met with the exact same reaction as saying you want to want to buy them a drink, what ... is the incentive to not be hateful and violent?" (Yeah, that's a direct quote.) This article links to a thread on a Men's Rights forum in which men just rant about their misogyny. One guy seriously traces his ladyrage to a time in the 7th grade when a girl said he had cooties. 

Here's an email some douchebro in a frat at USC sent out to his brothers. In it he talks about  "how to be an effective 'cocksman'" and says that "females are targets, not actual people like us." I get total frat-boy vibes from Rodrigo, maybe this guy is him.

I've posted all this here to show that there are people at least as awful as the Lulu characters in the real world today. All of the posts I've linked are only about a month old. Seriously! The anonymous message board is the place these creeps feel free to let their freak flags fly. Maybe treat the Lulu space like it's your internet. Lose your pants and drop a proverbial dump all over the damn place.

Morphine

Pharmacist giving basic drug facts. It's pretty dry, image of the yucky scary leg injury notwithstanding:


Symptoms of an overdose: click here.

General information: click here. (Check out the "Effects" and "Addiction" sections, especially.)

and here's a huuuuuuge list of signs of a morphine addiction.

The videos I've found of people high on morphine have been of really poor quality. They're usually in hospital a hospital bed dealing with a traumatic injury or cancer and are using the drug properly, to relieve their extreme pain. I would think that morphine effects a person not in pain a little differently.

I'll be on the lookout for something more visual to show, but I hope this is a useful start for you.

"All white. What does it mean, I wonder?"

Everything I'm finding says that white flowers mean purity, humility, innocence, new beginnings. Pretty much the same thing a white wedding dress means.

Hmmm.

Chloral Hydrate

...is not for killing yourself, it's for falling asleep. Just fyi. Shoning's saying the opera would put him to sleep, but chloral hydrate works better.

Pagliacci

1892 opera by Ruggero Leoncavallo.

Pagliacci is a tragedy that takes place among the actors in a Commedia dell'arte troupe.

The commedia plot plays out in real life. The leader of the troupe, Canio, plays the "foolish husband" Pagliaccio. His wife, Nedda, plays the slutty wife Columbina. Before the performance begins, Pagliaccio leaves to go drinking. While he's gone, his wife Nedda sees her lover and they plot to elope later that night. Canio comes back and sees her lover run away, but doesn't see his face. He begs Nedda to tell her who, but she refuses.

In Act II, they perform the commedia plot, which pretty much mirrors what just happened. When Pagliaccio returns home and hears Columbina tell her love goodbye, Canio breaks character and demands that Nedda tell him the name of her lover. She tries to put him back on track for the performance, but he's distraught. Finally, he stabs her. As she dies she calls out her lover's name and Canio kills him too. The play ends when Canio announces "La Commedia è finita!" (the play is finished).

Infidelity! Jealousy! Rage! Murder! Performance! Costumes! Clowns!

Relevent!
