I wouldn't take it for granted, but if it really can be interpreted this way then the form of therapy Number 6 underwent there would have been aversion therapy. For the two mechanics, who beat him up, it might have been a way to relieve their aggressions. However, I'm not quite sure where this leads to. And why they wouldn't be treated in the hospital.<br /><br />I admit I'd like to see this cave as a metaphor or a symbol, maybe for what lies "underneath" the village, or for what are its fundaments.. Because it reminds me of the cave in Fall Out, and both were thought up by Patrick McGoohan. So the question would be: what did the caves mean to him? Or: Why the crosspiece?<br /><br />Another issue that baffles me: Why doesn't Rover do anything? Or is it Rover who's in there for therapy? But what kind of therapy?<br /><br />Kind regards<br />Jana<br />BCNU<br />Jananoreply@blogger.com
