The Village!
Is The Village simply for the
benefit of Number 6? After all everything which goes on there appears to
revolve around him. At least that is the impression given. Can we be sure that
The Village even existed before the Prisoner Number 6 arrived there? There is
no evidence that it did, perhaps Number 6 built The Village himself in order to
make his own prison. And did The Village
still exist after Number 6 left? Certainly The Village was abandoned, evacuated
of all its citizens, and no-one in their right minds would ever go back
there................would they?
Unless the Village and everything we witness in the series is No. 6s mental manifestation, we could and we should, most likely, assume that it's been in existence before No. 6 arrived. As pointed out by one David Stimpson (http://match-cut.de/spdln/spdln133.htm#spdlne), the Village and its infrastructure wouldn't have been established for the sake of No. 6 alone. Too much would have to be taken into consideration, it would have been too expensive for just one man. No matter how "important" he may have been. - BCNU!
