OK, here's the part where we speculate on season eight, which Ryan Murphy has confirmed as the Murder House/Coven crossover. We have two remaining circles, Lust and Violence, and we can make a strong case for either one.
When you consider violence, both Murder House and Coven are pretty grisly seasons. In the former, Tate plans a school shooting, and many deaths occur on the Harmon property. Violet Harmon commits suicide and ends up dead in a crawl space. Even the Black Dahlia shows up as one of Dr. Harmon's patients! And don't get us started on the horrifying demon monster baby that's lurking in the basement.
When you look at Coven, there's also a lot of crazy violence, starting with Delphine LaLaurie's horrifying torture of her house servants. And that Minotaur? No thanks. Let's also not forget that the witches die in all kinds of horrible ways, Kyle is put back together like Frankenstein's monster's terrible stepson, Fiona and Marie Laveau kill a whole bunch of witch hunters, Cordelia gets acid thrown in her face, there's a murderous Axeman . . . the list goes on. It wouldn't be out of the question to believe season eight becomes the circle of Hell that represents Violence.
But wait! Both Murder House and Coven are also pretty lusty. In season one, Dr. Harmon is cheating on his wife while also checking out the hot maid (who is actually a much older woman). He also cries and masturbates a lot. Then there's the fact that Tate romances Violet but also has sex with her mother to create a demon baby. And, I mean, if you're going to introduce a literal "Rubber Man" in a latex sex suit, it's hard not to think of lust.
In Coven, Kyle sleeps with both Zoe and Madison, while Queenie gets weirdly involved with the Minotaur. And let's not forget the hunky next-door neighbor that all the witches fawn over, more or less. There's even some kind of crazy sex ritual between Cordelia and her husband, remember?
Clearly, season eight could go either way, which honestly bodes well for the veracity of the theory.
