His identity as the Opera Ghost doesn't count as Obfuscating Stupidity, since moving between the two requires a conscious shift in personality instead of just 'dropping the act.' Besides the tangled-up way his brain works (see Arc Words), he also has odd inflections in his speech (he never uses commas and always uses an exclamation point) and doesn't move normally (like he's being dragged around by his head).

Ambiguous Disorder: Walter Plinge seems to be written as such.

Oh, and losing buckets of money, much to the chagrin of the opera's owner. Stealing away to Ankh-Morpork, she soon finds herself (and her amazing voice) as a vocal understudy to the skinnier but much dumber and less melodious Christine.Īs it turns out, opera is much less about singing and more about superstition, mysterious strangers coming out of mirrors, vicious murders, and catty sniping. Agnes, though, has no interest in witches, and wants to be an opera singer. Their eye falls on the expansive Agnes Nitt, who prefers calling herself Perdita X Dream (or, as the women of Lancre say, 'that Agnes girl who calls herself Perditax'). With the loss of Magrat to her royal calling, Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax find themselves with a coven of two. Its purpose within the theme is to bridge Lords and Ladies and Carpe Jugulum, which it does by means of an extended parody of the 1925 silent film version of The Phantom of the Opera.
