Another "Mona has a twin" Theory
Two people are A. Mona and her twin.
Motive: years of being bullied by Ali and her friends take their tole. She/they want desperately to be a part of the group and watch they’re movements, especially Ali’s, mainly out of longing at first… Things escalate and one of them starts obsessing with Ali, wanting to be her. She’s the one who see’s Ali in Ravenswood and starts the creepy A lair. The other one is just angry and wants Ali to pay, she starts sending A texts and is the one who sends Ali away. At this point the other twin goes really crazy, buys a blonde wig and an Ali mask and generally sits on the sidelines for a bit.
At this point, the angry one, calms down a bit and befriends Hanna. At this point she’s the weakest of the group and together they make themselves over and become popular. Things are fine for a while but her anger festers, she can’t help but still resent Hanna and the others. In the end, she can’t stand it any more so starts sending A texts again. She knows the secrets from when she and her sister used to watch them/stalk Ali. Things escalate when the texts bring the girls together and Hanna is slowly taken away from her. That’s when “A” gets nastier.
I think that Mona’s twin is present a lot more than we think. There are a few scenes where a blonde extra is in the background almost purposefully not facing the camera. Most notably in 225 at the ball.
After Mona is outed and put in Radley, her twin switched places with her. This possibly happens in/around 303. I think this because of some of the dialogue between her and Hanna during her visit. Hanna even says “you seem really different”, Mona puts this down to a change in her medication, but what if she’s actually a different person? Mona also says a couple of other things that support my theory; when Hanna asks who visits her, Mona replies that her parents do but “mostly they just sit and look at me like they don’t really know who I am” and later she says “it’s like you can’t trust anybody, even family.” Did her sister betray her?
There are many other points to support this theory some of which I’ve seen in other people’s posts. Such as the twin story (they’re fighting over dolls, Mona’s doll obsession and the beauty spots on the girls faces, the good and evil twin etc) but I won’t touch on any more right now.
I will however, talk about the mid season finale in which Mona dies. Again, someone else has pointed out the height of the hoodie who enters the house before Mona’s demise and I think this is a valid point. Also, if as I mentioned earlier, one of the Twins had an obsession with becoming Ali, it is feasible that she’d be wearing a blonde wig and maybe even an Ali mask, this (or just seeing the sister she betrayed) could easily account for the horror Mona displays upon seeing the hoodie.
I used to think Mona was alive. I still think this is true. Another theory I’ve seen suggests that the current Mona of series 5 was able to get the upper hand over her sister and ended up killing her. I did think this was the case, however I Marlene King has now said that we will be seeing double of someone. This to me suggests that either they could possibly both survived, or the current Mona did die after all.
Either way I’m TOO excited for Wednesday!! (Sucks to be British sometimes!)
