* GoneHorriblyRight: This is how Gull ultimately sees the results of his Masonic ritual killings when he gets a glimpse of a late 1980s office building. Yes, he's contained society's feminine, "irrational" side, allowing "reason" to triumph, but in the process he's created a world that's utterly banal and incapable of genuine feeling. Also a pretty good description of Catherine Eddowes' impersonating Mary Kelly because she wanted to get her in trouble with the authorities. Said authorities happened to include Gull himself.

Characterization Marches On is for episodic works where a character's characterization in early installments is inconsistent with that in later ones. From Hell is a standalone work.


* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In his first appearance Netley was a creepy man who admits to drunkenly having incest. He quickly becomes an AntiVillain teetering into VillainWoobie as he is horrified by what Gull has done.

* HistoricalRelationshipOverhaul: There's no evidence of any connection between the victims beyond all working as prostitutes in Whitechapel apart from Catherine Eddowes pretending to be Mary Kelly when being arrested for public drunkenness (which is a common enough name that it might simply be coincidence). Here, as in the Stephen Knight conspiracy theory, four of them are depicted as friends who were in on a blackmail plot against Walter Sickert and by extention to Royal Family together, while Eddowes was an acquaintance of Mary Kelly who disliked her and deliberately impersonated her to get her in trouble with the police.
