Dear fellow Wikia contributor,

I have also read the novel, and what i think her main motivation was to turn Roman Godfrey into a full Upir. To fully become a Upir, one (of Upir  origin) most commit suicide and be brought back to life and feed on blood. Letha and the baby we just means to get Roman to commit suicide of his own free choice for his transition into full Upir.

These are some points of why I think this:

Letha was the name of the River that greeks beleived helped the dead forget about their old lives and transition into their new lives. Letha's and their child's apparent deaths affected Roman so much that he killed himslef, hence the transitioning into another life. Once a Upir, in this case Roman, commits suicide; they are essentialy leaving their old lives behind, and transitioning into their Upir lives.

Olivia believes that Roman is going to be great, in her terms, "He was born with the coal." So she must believe that any child of his will be powerful aswell.

It hints that at the end of the novel, Roman feeds on the blood of his child; beacuse his child is supernatural shouldn't it increase Roman's strength if he feeds on it. It may also be that Olivia wants to destroy anything that may hold him back from what she belives is his full potential. By feeding on his child, he will be essentially remvoing whats left of his humanity - or as olivia sees it: weakness.

Finally, I believe that Olivia is "bored." She's endured her current life in hemlock grove too long, she's played the part of a doting mother and strict director, she wants a change. She wants to reek a little havic.

Ofcourse these are all assumptions I base solely on the novel, not the show. I think a much more indepth review of Olivia Godfrey is required to understand her motivations, and even then I fear we may never fully understand them.

Sincerely,

Grynetskle

The biggest thing about Olivia is she's bored. She's been
