That tender moment in which Number 6 gives his fiancée
a message which only he can give, he raises his hand to caress her check, followed
by a kiss on each cheek, one on the nose, and embracing Janet they share a
passionate kiss. They part, Janet steps backwards, her thoughts unable to grasp
what has happened. He asks her who else could have given her that message……Janet
is forced to concede “Only you.” He needs her faith. And now Janet knows, as
difficult to understand as it is, she knows. And so it must follow that in the
time they have together, the Prisoner must
explain what has happened to him since his disappearance, his abduction to
The Village. But Janet must let him go again, if he is to have any chance of
returning to his original appearance. But what of Janet? Did she go and tell
her father Sir Charles Portland what her fiancé had told her? Whatever she did
next, she would most certainly lose her fiancé for a second time. And that
makes Janet Portland perhaps the most tragic character in ‘the Prisoner,’ because
although she is not in The Village, it is having a direct effect on her
personal life.
Be seeing you
