Prisoner or warder, no-one reacted, such is No.2’s control over the citizens. No.2 asked the citizens if No.6 has the administrative ability to manipulate such a community as theirs. As it turns out No.6 lacked that ability!<br /> I think it was a matter of learning, as well as a matter of will and resistance to being forced to do anything contrary to his will. They are trying to break his spirit.<br /> I like your idea that Rover was enjoying those Villagers “worshiping” it! But I’m not so sure those men were worshipping Rover, more like “it” was conditioning them. Perhaps that cave was the real Therapy Zone!<br /><br />Best regards<br />David<br />Be seeing youDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-83559422235799261962016-05-22T02:19:52.377+01:002016-05-22T02:19:52.377+01:00Number 6 was trying to give the Villagers the one ...Number 6 was trying to give the Villagers the one thing that HE valued the most...FREEDOM. However, the people of the village were either working there or fellow prisoners who had long ago given the idea that there was any hope of escape from the village.<br />None of the villagers even looked up as Number 6 yelled that they could leave...yet he knew that his own escape could be stopped by a push of a button.<br />Will you never learn...it wasn't a matter of learning...it was a matter of will and resistance to being forced to do anything contrary to his will.<br />As for the men sitting around Rover ...perhaps that was a hint of man's looking for something to worship...it can take all forms...sports..food...sex...money. We even have tv shows named "Idol"...so perhaps Rover was enjoying these villagers "worshipping" him?????<br />BCNU<br />KarenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216072285740409212noreply@blogger.com
