The Log Lady is a unique character in Twin Peaks. She could have similar psychic powers that Sarah Palmer possesses. The Log Lady is somehow able to offer advice to Agent Cooper referencing the evil realm. I feel that the Log Lady has a connection with the black/white lodges because of her late husband. I think the log is an outlet for her suffering related to the death of her husband. The log is usually referenced when questions pertaining to evil need to be solved. In her article, “Double Talk in Twin Peaks”, Alice Kuzniar explains that “The Log Lady transmits what she hears, but she does not interpret.” which implies that the Log Lady is a messenger between good and evil.I feel sorry for the Log Lady because she is misunderstood to most inhabitants in Twin Peaks. I feel confident in stating that the log symbolizes her late husband. Perhaps the log was present during their final moments together as man and wife. I admire the Log Lady for continuing to be a law abiding citizen after someone she loved dearly was taken away from her. Maybe the Log Lady appears different because she is one of the few women in Twin Peaks that isn’t deceptive.
