Seeds of Love

I’ve been thinking of writing this for so long.. I don’t know if someone else did this before? But I want us to take a look at this picture and the lyrics of Seeds of Love. This lullaby was once sung by Eva to her baby boys’. The first line goes like “ In the field so green and so free, seeds gaze up” and then if you take a look over the picture the front yard of Sparda’s manor has a green field. Then it says “seeds gaze up” I believe that Eva was referencing to her sons’ that’s been playing in the yard. Later the lullaby continues with “ The clouds keep them from the light, And the sky cries white tears of snow.” I believe Eva wants to show us that her kids weren’t always happy, “ The clouds keep them from the light” like the demons made the family stay hidden, away from danger.  ’’But still, the fragile seeds wait long for the sun to shine Dark winter away, come spring.“ But when the danger goes away they are free to walk outside again and play.  Then she says ”And I know they will grow strong.“  she knows her baby seeds will grow strong, even though she wouldn’t be near them.. since they are the sons of Sparda.

Eva’s Gown Aesthetics: The RoseGold Maiden

About Eva’s beautiful gown is one of my favorite outfits in the game. I made a little research on her dress and its details. The texture of the dress makes me believe that’s satin? Or I can be wrong?  

Her dress has golden floral details which could be inspired by the Dolce & Gabbana 2012 fall collection. Their collection had the main theme of the black robes of the “Madonna Addolorata (Our Lady of Sorrows), whose cult has spread greatly in the Southern Italy” the statue’s robes are known of being black and decorated with golden floral garlands and frames. Since in Southern Italy, they appreciate her cult so much; it made me believe that Eva could be an Italian.. This could justify the fact of Dante’s love for pizza.

Eva could resemble the “ Lady of Sorrows” since she had difficult times protecting her family and like it’s said by Mrs. Margaret from the Devil May Cry the animated series that Eva “ had some difficult times” when her children were still young and that she was going through depression and suffering.

About her shawl, it’s been crimson red through all the Devil May cry franchise. The color red symbolizes mostly blood, power, passion, and love. Her shawl reminds of Jesus Christ’s red robe that he wore before his crucifixion. In the old ages, red robes were worn only by kings and they symbolize God-given right to rule.

So Eva could have believed in Christianity.. Or at least that’s what I believe from the way she was dressing.

In the intro of Devil May Cry X: The Last Judgement Eva’s hooded figure is found in a praying position and beside her is the visage of her husband Sparda in his demonic form. She could have been praying to god? But it was well known that the people of Fortuna were worshipping “The Legendary Dark Knight” as a god. But I don’t think that his wife Eva was worshipping her husband as a god? I believe that she had her own belief.
