The
title of ‘Living In Harmony’ could relate to the previous episode of ‘A Change
of Mind,’ although there are not that many citizens who actually live in
harmony. The majority of citizens are decidedly disharmonious, and can be denounced
as such for the least possible reason. The only citizens who do live in
harmony, are those who have undergone the operation of Instant Social
Conversion, the dislocation of the aggressive frontal lobes. In other words a
leucotomy, or lobotomy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobotomy
hence the title given to Number 46 of “lobo man,” that makes people different
to others. For them all excitement and agitation is a thing of the past. But in
the case of Number 6, he still had aggressive tendencies, and so should have
been given a larger dose of Mytol.
But this is not the first time that the
suggestion of a leucotomy being carried out on Number 6 was made. The
doctor-Number 22 in ‘Checkmate’ read of Number 6’s aggressive tendencies in a
psychological report on Number 6, and suggested a leucotomy to knock out the centres
of the brain. Mind you it didn’t really require a psychological report to see
that Number 6 has aggressive tendencies. Just as well at that point in the
Prisoner’s ordeal Number 2 was there to temper the doctor’s attitude towards
Number 6!
Be seeing you
