...thought there was a Gilda section here ? So, don't scold me if I dbld subject...
couldn't find one.
I'm fascinated by symbolism. Familiar w/the story...I found other stuff. Though maybe not purposeful, interesting, just the same - - -
The name Gilda means sacrifice.
Consider a line in the song Gilda sings "put the blame on me, boys" hmmm..
wonder what boys "she" refers to.
A single glove that's tossed out & away - - -
Mame,or Mamie are considered derivatives of Mary & Margaret
Mary, of course meaning love, beloved, mother, wished for child and also sweet bitterness & rebelliousness.
Margaret means pearl; generally white & opalescent signifying light from above.
All color pearls have the spirit of faith, charity & innocence; nick-named the stone of sincerity.
The Pearl portrays two contrasting forces that shape human life and determine individual destiny.
