Queen of the Clowns
Queen
Queen Jane, King, Queen, Joker is a 1922 American silent comedy drama written and directed by Sydney Chaplin. The film was made by famous actors-Lasky & King, Lohengrin & Chaplin, in which the title role was played by Sydney Chaplin’s older half-brother, Charlie Chaplin. The movie was filmed in England, France, Italy, and the US. It stars Jack Coleman as the villainous Joke, along with Holly Golightly as his loyal sidekick Queen. This is the second of two Charlie Chaplin movies made after his breakout performance in The Great Barrier Reef.
Queen Jane is a reference to a beverage that originally referred to “Queen Bitch”. Though Queen Jane is spelled that way in the film (the actual name is “Bitch” spelled backwards), the name actually comes from a poem by William Wordsworth called “The Rime of the Ancient Times”. The character of “Queen” is based on the Spanish word “queer” for women. Chaplin’s interpretation of this symbolism is that the character is a symbol for strength and independence for women throughout history. In modern times, she represents modern women who are strong and independent.
In modern day, Queen Jane is depicted as a cunning and ambitious woman who wants to rule the world. She wants to control all aspects of human affairs including, entertainment, literature, politics, business, religion, and relationships. Her plans are ruined when she falls in love with an impoverished man. He tries to poison her, but she manages to poison him instead. In the end, he realizes how awful she is and goes into exile. The queen then plans to murder him so that she can eliminate any threats to her reign.

As part of the plot, The Rope uses many references to previous comic books such as the Batman comics and Watchmen. However, Queen Joker stands out because she is perhaps one of the most diabolically clever comic book villains ever created. Aside from the fact that she has a rather devious personality, the Rope also contains several wrinkles on her face, which gives her an almost skeletal appearance. This, along with her red lipstick, makes her look like she has been rotting in front of the grill for quite some time.
Queen Joker started out as an insane serial killer who killed anyone she thought had been related to her ex-lover; this was done while wearing a surgical mask covered in clown blood. She then developed a drug addiction which enabled her to regenerate quickly. However, she still retained the psychotic nature that made her the perfect target for any comic book fan who wanted to see her suffer, as well as, anyone else who looked at her. She often appeared to be smiling while carrying out her murders; however, her lips were actually bitten off during one episode.
Despite her maniacal look, Queen Joke does have redeemable characteristics. She seems to care deeply about her father; in fact, whenever she gets a chance, she would go to bat headquarters to give her father a grand tour, and even promised to tell him everything he needs to know. She also tries to save those around her life, such as Batman, from evil people, but in truth, she goes about it the wrong way; she tends to get herself in unnecessary trouble. In the end, it seems that she may just be too crazy for anyone to handle, but then again, maybe she isn’t?
