::a few more thoughts:: | ||
| penance | |||
| In some christian sects monks would wear gray robes as a sign of penance. Could Lex be (subconsciously) feeling guilty about his evil thoughts... Is his time in smallville penance for his wrong doings in metropolis, sentenced by his almighty powerful father... | |||
| neutrality and/or uncertainty | |||
| The most obvious of interpretations. Lex is at the light/ dark crossroad. Through the beauty of dramatic irony we know what path he eventually chooses, but his smallville time is all about gray limbo... (even though he does like to wear head to toe black at times, oh well. This is just theory afterall.) | |||
