Two "It's a nothing! It's oblivion! It's beyond all hope!"
147's daughter 832 fell down such a hole as this, and later in the episode 'Darling,' 4-15 hurls herself into another hole such as this. Six said that if there was a possibility that 832 was still alive, then he would throw himself into the hole and bring her back. The trouble is Six doesn't have the courage of his conviction, he lacks the courage for that "leap of faith." If only he knew that there was escape through that hole in the ground, that it would take him back to his other life in New York. Has there ever been a time when you had wished that the ground would open up and swallow you, and then cover over you? Well that sudden desire, takes on a whole new meaning in the Village.

Hello David,
ReplyDeletethose holes could indeed be a way to freedom. But I wondered, what if the minds who get lost in there really were lost to the outside world, too? This would mean that their counterparts in New York would loose a good part of themselves. This might be a difference towards the actual village death.
Also, I wonder what would have happened if 11-12 or 2 had decided to kill themselves by jumping into such a hole..
Very best wishes, have a nice sunday.
Jana
