I thought I saw this topic on here before, back when I used to just browse, but now I can't find it, so I'm starting a new one for it. Hope that's okay...  Anyway, since those clothes scattered around the front gate of the orphanage represented their bodies, I've been thinking. Does that mean Joshua's clothes in the Gingerbread House represent HIS corpse?!  What do you guys think? |

It's fine.^^ Who knows where the original went.
I somehow doubt that was Joshua's body. I'd like to think Jennifer would have at least mentioned something to Wendy in her letters if she was sharing a room with a corpse. I also think she would have been a LOT more willing to get out of there.

If those clothes are under the blanket, it could mean: Joshua's corpse on the bed that causes Gregory to contemplate suicide, or Jennifer as Joshua about to sleep on the bed and Gregory reciting the poem but behaving weirdly. I don't think the former is true unless Jennifer actually witnessed the event before Joshua got buried.

I think that those clothes could be both an image of what she first saw when she was taken into that room in June 1929 by Gregory (he was conserving the clothes in his bed, maybe) and what Jennifer left in the bed when she was escaping from the Gingerbread House (I can't remember if she changed her clothes before escaping or in the orphanage).
As for the second theory, we must remember that there's a good possibility that a large part of what she sees in the Gingerbread House could be the 'last image' of it, when she was escaping (besides, that's my theory about the 6:45 clock). Anyway, this is just a speculation.

I think I have to agree with Stray Dog's theory about those clothes, when she unveiled them, she felt a pain in her chest, most probably a feeling of guilt for leaving Gregory. But she originally might have covered them up before abandoning them, which Wendy found later when she sneaked in again (to train Gregory).

That would also explain the shoes. If it symbolized herself sleeping, why would the shoes be there? And that would definately make me feel guilty.
