Bare with me if this has been posted. I believe Locke to be the most tragic character of them all as he always wanted something to believe in yet he was just a pawn. Also, Ben was used knowing his jealousy but we'll get to that.
- Locke's legs were healed. This was done by Jacob as the island heals. Unfortunately this started Locke's belief in the island.
- Locke then was "photographed" by the smoke monster. Locke said he looked into the island and it was beautiful but this was smokey/devil finding out who he was and that he could use him for the "loop-hole"
- I am sorry I don't remember all of his "dreams" from season 1/2 but I believe this was also smokey playing tricks trying to have Locke "believe" in the island
- Ben took Locke to Jacob's cabin. Ben knew where it was but Jacob never talked to him. This was smokey's cabin not Jacob's but as Smokey ignored Ben, this made him angrier. Another pawn. I believe at some point the smoke monster photographs Ben as well before this.
- Then Smokey says Help Me. Now Locke believe Jacob needs his help and Ben loses it because Jacob never talked to him.
- They need to see Jacob again, Locke sees Horace in a dream to find the cabin in the dharma pit. Smokey can imitate dead people, Horace was another to convince locke and have Ben further hate him for the communion with the island.
- Christian (another dead person imitated by Smokey) gives an eerie grin when locke says he was chosen to be there. Convinces John to move the island. This sends him through time to help convince Richard he is "special" to help him.
- Richard does not believe he is special because of the drawing as a kid of the smoke monster coming out of him and he picks the knife that kills Jacob. Richard only thinks he is special when Locke told RA to convince himself in 3 minutes that he was going to die and take a bullet out. Richard still should have gone with his instincts!
- Then Christian sees Locke in the pit and tells him he will have to die to bring everyone back. The is smokey's loop hole to inhabit locke, and convince Ben to kill Jacob as know Ben thinks the island loves him so much that is brought him back to life and Ben is even angrier.
I know there is probably a lot more but I can't think of it now! Please add in comments of other ways Locke was manipulated! I believe that this plan has been going on forever but Jacob will have a bigger part to play with Locke (hopefully) as why would he visit him after the fall out the window? Almost looking like he brought him back to life? Also, how did Anthony Cooper get on the island? Interesting stuff. Thanks for reading
