Lime House Golem: Ending Explanation
The subsequent murder shook the conscience of the town. Every member of the Limehouse community has his own agenda. The reporter referred to the murderer as Golem. After his suicide, Elizabeth was wanted by law. Kildare postponed the announcement to the media that Kerry was a golem until after Elizabeth was hanged, Inspector John Kildare found evidence linking John Kerry to the murder and hoped to solve the case before Elizabeth escapes. . He further inferred that Golem was one of the four people who entered the library with Dan Leno, Karl Marx, George Gissing, and John Cree for the last time and looked for samples of their handwriting.
At the same time, Elizabeth is trapped by her theater owner, a man called “Uncle” (played by Eddie Mason). John married her to protect her from the owner of the theater. As soon as she accepted John’s proposal, Kildare discovered that Eddie Mason had died a few days later. The theater was left to Dan Reynolds, and because John didn’t make any progress in his career, he became increasingly dissatisfied with Elizabeth.
This happened until John was murdered. He is only interested in what Elizabeth can do for his career, so she finds Evelyn to seduce him and keep him away from her. Before Elizabeth herself admitted that she was the real golem and wrote it in the diary in front of him, Kildare was at the bottom of everything. She was the one who killed everyone from the beginning. She killed the “uncle” and committed murder because the golem will always be the focus of attention. When her husband John found evidence against her, she also poisoned her. Inspector Kildare completely broke down on this revelation, but Elizabeth as a real golem made him miss and managed to escape there.
Lime House Golem: Inspector Kildare postponed to announce that Elizabeth was ultimately the real Golem.
At the end of the movie, Leno covered up the deaths of Evelyn and Elizabeth and no longer appeared on the stage, which made movie fans very confused. In the final scene, what actually happened was that Dan Reynolds troupe performed John’s play, which was reproduced and rewritten to tell the story of Elizabeth’s life. Evelyn played Elizabeth, she committed suicide under pressure, and she seemed to achieve this goal by removing the safety device from the suspension scene. Leno brings this suicide scene up and plays Elizabeth.
