However, its significance is quite different. The Creeper also appeared in Silent Hill 1 and was not so different in its design. The second significance of the nurses are to represent James’ anger at the hospital system for allowing his wife to die. It represents his frustrated libido, with the nurses wearing short dresses and having low necklines revealing their cleavage. The Bubble Head nurse signifies a number of different feelings James had concerning his wife’s death. It has a double meaning of representing James smothering his wife on a bed. A male figure leaning over a female, rectangular in shape to represent a bed. Manifested first from Angela’s experiences with her abusive father. In essence he synchronizes into their experiences of Silent Hill when it is relevant.
Some of the monsters are manifested from other character’s minds, but in these cases they will be in some way relevant to James. Silent Hill 2 is just James Sunderland coming to terms with the reality of this and the monsters are manifestations of his repressed guilt and emotions concerning murdering his wife. James Sunderland murdered his terminally ill wife for stealing his future from him in a sudden burst of anger and frustration. As a result of this understanding the monsters is more about understanding James Sunderland’s state of mind.
In Silent Hill 2 the monsters largely originate from the protagonist’s, James Sunderland, subconscious mind.
