What's Really Going On In Bloodborne - Rom

Rich Stanton of Kotaku wrote a very extensive interpretation of the narrative of Bloodborne that you can find here. The following is an excerpt from the article in which Rich presents his interpretation of Rom, the Vacuous Spider, and I highly recommend reading the original article in it's entirety. All content presented is the work of Rich Stanton and Kotaku, with only minor formatting changes made.

Rom

Rom is the great secret of Byrgenwerth. The Lunarium key tells us that “In the end, it is said, [Master Willem] left his secret with the lake.” Willem's wizened and mute form still bears life, of a kind, but can only point us towards the lake – and if you choose to jump in, you will find Rom.
