What’s more in ‘the Prisoner’ McGoohan showed we are all our own worst enemy, after all Number 6 was himself responsible for his incarceration in The Village.<br /> As for losing ones identity, not to know where you are or the people around you, that must be a terrible thing. But people do suffer from that everyday, it’s called Alzheimer’s, its terrible, and anyone with that has my sympathy, and I hope I never suffer from it.<br /><br />Be seeing you<br />DavidDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-7878115440182775472016-07-01T04:50:58.250+01:002016-07-01T04:50:58.250+01:00Hi David,
I once read that Patrick McGoohan chose ...Hi David,<br />I once read that Patrick McGoohan chose the number 6 for The Prisoner because it was the only number that when turned upside down, was another number.<br /><br />I think that is big clue to what he was trying to say with The Prisoner, that everything has 2 sides..black and white...true and false...bad and good...<br />Humans especially show this feature...from moment to moment sometimes!<br />It would be sad indeed to have to ask someone else "WHO am I?"...to lose your sense of identity. Have you ever thought about what it would be like to wake up one morning , and not know where you were, who the people were around you....anything????<br />Scary!!!!<br /><br />BCNU<br />KarenKarennoreply@blogger.com
